About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachy Vintage Vibe — Pet Friendly!

We are just a 100 yard walk down a dead-end street that ends at the beach! This part of the beach is very uncrowded even during the summer. Upon entering, you will be greeted with tiled floors that are offset by the warmth of vintage California redwood paneling and exposed brick walls. This house is truly stuck in the 1970s and not decked out with all the latest gadgets or appliances. It is very simplistic, rustic, and well, kind of quirky. To offset what it is lacking, it has a prime island location!
It's suitable for 2 people, or 3 if the third person wants to sleep on a small couch, or you're welcome to bring a blow-up mattress – there is ample room for one.

Please note: guests will not have access to AC/Heat controls. This house is equipped with a finicky geo-thermal unit. If you desire a certain temp, please let us know and we will adjust the thermostat to your desire. However, being an older home located in a subtropical climate, it will never be 68 degrees inside during the summer months.
The property sits upon what once was a natural sand dune and is very shady with lots of oaks and palm trees. There is unkempt vegetation everywhere – there is no manicured lawn here. (This lot is reminiscent to what this end of island looked like before the resort area was developed). We have chosen to have a sustainable yard – no watering required – and provide an ecological oasis for native plants and animals. If you're lucky, you will see the small herd of white tail deer that call a corner of the yard their home. PLEASE NOTE: We are surrounded by lots of trees; therefore, there is not a lot of natural light inside, so it may be too dark for some people’s taste. We have ample lighting and lamps throughout to compensate for the lack of natural light coming through the windows and doors. However, this can be beneficial especially during the hot summer months after being out on the beach all day.
So, if what you’re looking for is a place with all the bells and whistles of a newly renovated home or an airy light-filled modern beach house with all the latest appliances and perks, please look elsewhere – you’re not going to be happy here. We strive to make our guests happy and comfortable during their stay and enjoy their time in our ocean playground.
**FYI: there is no dishwasher or washer/dryer. If you need to do laundry, there is an IOP Laundromat about 2.5 miles away in the Harris Teeter shopping center.

PETS: We do accept friendly, housebroken dogs only – Limit Two (2) Dogs – preferably smaller dogs, but will accept large dogs depending on breed. ALL DOGS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED PRIOR TO BOOKING. We charge a pet fee of $20 per dog. This fee is included in your quote when you select that you are bringing pets. Also, when outside, your dog will have to be on a leash and all pet waste will have to be picked up and disposed in the trash can outside by the curb. We do not accept cats.
City of Isle of Palms Dog Rules: Dogs can run off-leash on the beach every day from 5a.m. to 9a.m., after that, they must be leashed at all times.
If you would like more info, please inquire via email and I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions before you book.

We found the place pretty easily. It’s a bit tucked in, but we figured it out. Very rustic and cute….but a bit chilly during that weekend. Super easy access to the beach and we enjoyed our beach time a lot! Lots of twists and turns and light switches to navigate in that small space but we figured that out too! The TV would not turn on and the ceiling fan could not be turned off, so those things were a bit annoying but overall we had a great time!

The place is fixed up very cute inside, and our puppies were comfortable and nearby while we enjoyed the beach!

Disappointing. Property is dated. Needs to be freshened up quite a bit including adequate lighting, heat and a/c, hot water temp.

This is one of those places where you need to study every photo and carefully read the description and the reviews. If you do that and understand what you are getting then you will be very happy. The location couldn't be much better. That end of the beach is very quiet. The house is unusual and interesting. It reminds me of a hobbit home. It has everything but nothing is top shelf. I stayed there with my dog so she could have a beach vacation and that worked out great. The tiny shower has a wand so you can bathe your dog after the beach. I enjoyed it.

The property was … rustic and quirky. (As advertised). We had some problems with the shower (it needed repaired). However, the host was very responsive and had a repairman on-site very quickly. (Much appreciated!)

We felt like we were in a friend’s studio guest apartment. The place was in a good location and turned out to be perfect for us. We’d definitely like to stay here again.

We had a nice stay. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The beach was in walking distance. The only down side to this location is the bed was hard and uncomfortable. Also, i wished the kitchen had a couple more pots and pans to cook with and maybe a large bowl. We met the host and her son who lives onsite and they were very nice.

Overall our stay was very pleasant. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. We were very happy with the price and being able to bring our pets. Only thing I would recommend is a porch light by the door and to clean up the yard along the sidewalk. When we would walk our dogs on Palm Blvd, the grasses were growing over the sidewalk. Nothing a weed eater couldn’t fix quickly. Would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay. Very quaint and unusual but has everything you need to enjoy your stay. There is no "outdoor" area to relax but it is very close to the beach.

Great communication with host. If you enjoy unique places…. This is the place for you! From the bright red sink to the lack of right angles, it will peak your curiosity!! High quality towels, stocked shower needs, beach chairs & towels, and comfortable bed made this stay complete. Easy walk to the beach too!

This is a great find very close to the beach. It's rustic and the layout is a bit weird, but it's very clean.

I enjoyed my stay - very quiet, convenient to the beach, very responsive host, and my Frenchie loved it. The description was completely accurate. Not a lot of bells and whistles but that suited me fine. I will stay here again.

We were traveling through Isle of Palms on our boat. We enjoyed the change of pace on land. The internet allowed us to catch up on work responsibilities. I appreciate that pets were welcome.

“Apartment” is the basement of an older house in a very nice area. Super close to the beach and nice and quiet. Outside area needs some fixing up but overall the property was unique in a good way. Close to restaurants and downtown Charleston is not far at all.

The property was exactly as described. My grandson and I had so much fun here. I had siblings visit while I was there and there were plenty of places to sit comfortably. The outdoor area was just amazing for us. The architecture was just great. We really liked exploring and everyone wanted to look inside and see every nook. The beach was also amazing. We found shark teeth, shells, rocks and sand dollars galore. I hope to return someday with my husband.
