Perfect spot!
This home has been so wonderful for our family! Lots of space for us. Comfortable beds! We love the location too! Easy walk to the beach and grocery store! We will definitely be back!
We had a lovely, restful stay in this clean and well appointed property. It is perfectly located close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely return to this property.
The three of us could not have been happier with our stay! Walking distance to the beach. Restaurants, grocery store, etc. all in immediate area. We will definitely be staying here again!
Great house in a perfect location with everything you need for a trip to Charleston.

Cozy Stay
The Beachside Cottage was conveniently located close to the beach and the grocery store. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. Neighborhood is very quiet and dark but felt very safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Amazing location, beautiful home. We were disappointed we were unable to access the pool during our stay, but everything else about the home is impeccable. Would absolutely stay again.
My family and I had a great stay the beach cottage. The house was clean, well stocked, and the check in/out was easy. The house is in a great location - short walk to the beach & close to the grocery store. We all had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back again.
I thoroughly enjoyed my family beach vacation at this Beach House /Cottage on Isles of Palms (IOP)! The house was very clean and well equipped with a lot of extra amenities and essentials for beach fun! I would highly recommend this property for a family vacation!
This beautiful beach house has it all--tastefully decorated, easy walk to beach, pool, pickle ball, and grocery store, and a perfect screened porch with bed swing. It was the most relaxing (especially for parents) and most fun four days our family has had for a long time.

Fabulous beach house at Seaside!
The home was perfect for our needs! Beautifully decorated, short walk to beach, kids loved how close to the pool. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very easy stay!
This was the perfect spot for our family of five. The house is beautifully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook. Location is excellent- a very short walk to the beach and grocery stores and restaurants are walks me too.

Wonderful vacation home
This beachside house exceeded our expectations and we had a truly wonderful time. The house was clean and comfortable, and the location was excellent. Five ocean sunsets out of five.
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!
This house was everything we were looking for—clean, close to the beach, and well appointed. we had hours of outside time in the screen porch… the bench swing was a hit! You won’t be disappointed in this rental!

Great beach house!
We just got home from a weekend trip at Beachside Cottage. It was wonderful! The home was very clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed. The walk to the beach was very quick and easy. The communication was great! We loved our time there! Thanks for a great stay!
I spent a long weekend with my high school friends at the condo. We loved the proximity to the beach and walked to several restaurants near by. We took advantage of the screened porch and dining table. A good value!

Great Thanksgiving Trip
We had a great time at this wonderful IOP house.
It has a great location — it feels secluded but it is easy walking distance to the main IOP area.
Easy beach access. Beautiful home. Awesome communication. Can’t wait to come back!

Charming beach house
I held an intimate retreat for Christian women about body image. The house was absolutely perfect. We had everything we needed, was decorated very modern and cute and it was a short walk right to the beach! We had no issues and would highly recommend this house!

Amazing trip!!!
My girlfriends and I just came back from an amazing weekend at this beautiful place! Every aspect of our stay at this house was perfect and we couldn’t have been any happier in our selection of this house. The house is beautiful, has everything you need, a quick walk to the beach and close proximity to supermarket, shops, and day trips to downtown Charleston or Shem Creek. We’re already talking about planning another trip to this house!

Beachside Cottage
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!!
The location of the beach house was excellent. Very quiet neighborhood and quick access to the beach. The location felt isolated from the hustle and bustle of the other hotels and restaurants. Parking was great. Outdoor shower was very nice coming back from the beach. Everything worked like it should. We had a wonderful time.
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.
