Beautiful area! This will definitely be my go to spot next time I'm in Isle of Palms!

Already missing my stay at Whale of a Time! The cozy and welcoming atmosphere really made staying in just as enjoyable as exploring the beautiful area where it's located. The scenic neighborhood was relaxing to bike/walk around and the beach is only a short walk away. We had a family trip this time, but I can see myself planning future guys trips here too! The floor plan with its centrally located living space really made it easy to come together and just as easy to get some privacy in the bedrooms at the opposite sides of the house. I felt like we had all the amenities we could want and the management/owner were very easy to work with. This will definitely be my go to spot next time I'm in Isle of Palms!

Absolutely lovely vacation rental. The area was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. We had 2 families and adult children and everyone had their own space and bathroom. The living areas were so comfortable with ample seating/lounging - was especially nice while we were all watching football. The outdoor area was so serene - the uncovered deck was fabulous for morning coffee and late night conversations around the fire pit. Such a cozy home - we’d definitely book this property again. My only suggestions would be to add luggage racks for each bedroom and also add towel hooks to each bathroom. Fabulous rental!!!

The pictures do not do this home justice. It is larger and more beautiful than it appears. The hosts thought of many details to create comfort and ease. There are extra blankets galore, the knives are very sharp for cooking, they have kid-friendly plates and cutlery, they have a shelf of recently published books, and there are beach toys and towels.The hosts were helpful to us in every way. Four generations of our family stayed from age 90 years to 20 months and everyone was comfortable and happy.Thank you for a beautiful stay. We came to the area to celebrate a family wedding and you made it lovely.We highly recommend this home and this host!

Quiet and peaceful home, perfect location! Spotless house. We can't wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Whale of a Time! The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and lined with beautiful palm trees, with a great walking and bike path that loops through the area. The location couldn’t be better, the house is a short drive to Charleston and a quick walk to the beach and to Wild Dunes shops and restaurants. The house was spotless, spacious, and had such a welcoming feel. We especially loved the screened-in porch and spending time on the back deck. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we can’t wait to come back!!! Best,

Whale of Time is the most perfect house for a large family. Plenty of space, a great layout and wonderful furnishings. The porch is an absolute dream. Itrip is also quick and responsive to any questions or needs. I rented this house for my sons’ ring/parents’ weekend at The Citadel and my fingers are crossed that I can rent it again for graduation.

Close walk to the beautiful beach! All of the conveniences you could ever want!

The house was ideal to fit our whole family and such a close walk to the beautiful IOP beach to collect shells. The location was so convenient, grateful to not have to worry about beach traffic or parking every day. They had the perfect beach decor in the house, a fire pit area as well as a spacious deck area for grilling out at dinner, and a great screened porch for rainy day games and a nightcap. They even had a beach wagon and lots of beach toys for the kids that saved us having to pack ours. All the conveniences you could ever want to make your vacation feel like a home away from home!” Kelsey and Kevin H

More than expected.

An amazing home. Comfortable for our large family. Pictures don’t do it justice. Large sitting areas. Large tvs. Large screened in patio that extends living space. Easy walk to the beach. You could load up the car and go park a little closer if you have Little’s and don’t want the longer haul. All the comforts of home too. The grill is great - air fryer - good set of pots and pans. Comfortable beds. Nice to have two masters and separate wings. Enough bathrooms for all. Large driveway. Great a/c. Beautiful area to walk or ride bikes.

Perfect Location on IOP

This place was ideal for our group. Plenty of room and beds for our reunion. Kitchen was accommodating with most everything we need to prepare meals. Close to the beach. Great restaurants close by and the marina just around the corner for access to our boat. Golf at wild dunes links course 5 minutes away. Perfect location. We’ll be back next time we come to IOP.
