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 70 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 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 non refundable pet fee of $50. 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 outside trash bin. 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.

4/10 Poor

Richard

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disappointed in the quality of furnishings, especially patio furniture. Surrounding grounds not maintained and cluttered with debris. Low quality mattress. Very old structure with musty smelling interior. Poor climate control and internet service. Overall, not to standard compared to similar accommodations in that area. Good points: Great water pressure and proximity to the beach.

Perfect beach bungalow for a couple

We really enjoyed this location. The description aptly describes the interior. Cool tile floors and interesting architecture. Very short walk to private beach. Growing up as a beach kid, the 70's vibe was super fun. Be advised that this is the bottom level of am occupied house. Outdoor sitting area could use a little attention, but that didn't affect the fun. Thanks for the stay!

Great quickie getsway!

This place was perfect for me and my boxer pup. Love the bohemian vibe of the place! Just a short stroll to the beach so Zuri made lots of friends early in the AM as I got my steps in on the beach. The basement apartment is quirky and a bit dark, but there are lots of lamps to light your way. Glad it was sunny as I spent little time inside during the day. Would stay again!

This stay has everything you need to enjoy a beach trip. Description was right on. Only thing I can say is please trim the palm tree hanging into the driveway and cut down the thorn vine next to where you park. The thorns grabbed me a few times. Other than that it was clean and convenient.

Quick weekend

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!

Older and quirky, but lovely and clean!

If you are looking for a getaway that is affordable and easy to access the beach, this is a perfect option. The property is not fancy but it is very clean and had everything my husband and I needed. We brought our dog and since the apartment was quiet and dark, he felt comfortable being there by himself. The owners were accommodating and responsive and easy to work with and we felt comfortable/safe being on the property. This end of the island is less busy and was relaxing for us. If you are interested in modern or oceanfront, this is probably not the place for you. It is dark and older, but a short walk to the ocean. We enjoyed the unique style and quirky design and plan to return again when we can!

Interesting Place

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.
