Perfect spot

This beach house was perfect for our 6 night stay at IOP. Its's location is hard to beat as it's easily walkable to the beach, neighborhood pool, bars/restaurants and Harris Teeter. The house itself has a nice "user friendly" layout with updated and comfortable furnishings. It was very clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

The location is absolutely the BEST! We loved just being steps from the beach and two houses away from the pool. There are restaurants and bars within walking distance and it's an easy trip into Charleston. The neighborhood is quiet and felt safe. The house was very clean and the beds were comfy! Loved the swing on the porch. We had everything we needed for a fun girls trip! Highly recommend!!

Great retreat

My 5 friends and I enjoyed our time at the cottage. Very nice place to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. It does lack mirrors. None in living room or bunk rooms. It made it harder to share 2 bathrooms. Overall we would recommend this place as a beautiful place to stay.

Perfect Girls Getaway!

What a lovely 'girls' getaway to celebrate my granddaughter's first birthday! Had a wonderful time with my daughters and my granddaughter for her birthday weekend. This is a beautiful place and perfect location! We were able to take the cutest 1st birthday pictures on the beach (very short walking distance). Location is close to everything and a short drive to Charleston. House was very clean and very well stocked. The whole process was so easy from booking to checking out. Wonderful experience with priceless memories! Thank you to the wonderful hosts! Highly recommend!
