Charleston has The Best of all Worlds-Beachfront, 2nd floor A+ Views & Location!

Beautiful historic Charleston: Incredible Beaches, year-round Festivals- Art & Music, historic Sightseeing, world Class Dining & Sooo much more ...

Our little Slice of HEAVEN- Come have a fun and relaxing vacation at our beachfront little get-away on the Isle of Palms, Charleston, SC. Wake up in an oceanfront condominium on one of South Carolina's most beautiful beaches. Excellent 2nd floor views have fewer stairs (than 3rd floor) for great ocean view...no elevators. (1st floor views look out towards the beach, and nice pool view, but are a bit too low to see ocean.) Beautiful sunrise and an awesome sunset, dolphins out front in the surf. You can view all of this while keeping an eye on older kids in the Saltwater Pool, all from the comfort of your living room, kitchen, or balcony. As of April '23 we have added: a brand new smooth top range, brand new queen sleeper sofa, new 20 Cu. Ft. Bottom Freezer Frig, Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 3-Way Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pods or Grounds, and LVP Brazilian cherry flooring.
This is a 1BR condo with entry/pass-thru room bunks, and queen sleeper in small LR. 500 sq.ft. total means each room is SMALL, but the condo is 2x the size of standard hotel room.
Updated every Spring, We do not have granite or stainless in our salty seafront spot. The Whites of the Sand, Blues of the Ocean and Sky, and the Yellows of Sunshine, is our preferred, Beachy, Carolina Style.
Why priced so well? We are the owners, grew up here, live close by, and have been doing this for 20+ years now, so we are competitive at pricing.
Located in the heart of Isle of Palms, this cozy condo is perfectly positioned. You are just steps from the beach and in walking distance to the island’s best restaurants, shops, and park. This condominium complex claims the only pier on the Front Beach, private for your fishing or relaxation enjoyment. Free SECURE/private XFinity WIFI and digital cable TV. Rental Guests, and guests of guests, are NOT allowed to have or bring Firearms in or on this property, (except water-guns :)
*We are only "perfect" for some travelers. There are others on here that advertise being perfect, and we encourage perfectionists to rent those. Sea Cabin condos in general are classified as a 3 star resort (No elevator, no on-site concierge/ front desk, no on-site restaurants/pubs (just Very close by) built in 1985 resort, in a 5 star location that allows for no expansion. Cleaned by professional company, well stocked for what you need, true to description and a good host are what makes a Sea Cabin experience 5 star reviews. All sea cabins are same size and layout, but still, all condominiums and sea cabins are not in the same condition! Some of the condominiums and sea cabins have not been updated in 30 years; others have full reno this year. Most aren't as allergy-friendly as our unit. Old ceiling and walls have all been replaced with smooth, mold-free sheetrock in 2010, as well as cabinets; all flooring replaced 2020, New sofa, new bottom mount, large, refrigerator, and smooth ceramic top stove in 2023. It is Lowcountry Beach theme, Not Mid-Century, Modern, Industrial and/or Minimalist. This attractive condo is situated on the second floor of the center 'B' building. The balcony affords panoramic ocean views of the ocean. As we are in the middle bldg facing straight out (the 2 others angle in), this view is also shared from LR and kitchen. We are an end unit, with no one on the side that has the bedroom.
- Golf carts are not allowed. I am against that HOA policy, to no avail :(
- We are allowed only 1 parking pass during April thru Sep; 2 upon request from Oct thru March.

We have upgraded medium firmness BR mattress after some guests found the other too soft. Previous full firm one brought other complaints, so we hope it will now please all.
It is standard practice to have guests empty trash, as they may have stinky stuff (diapers, seafood shells...) which permeates the place when not cleaned for hours, or occasionally the next day.

- Nov-Feb, we have great discounts for longer stays.

My Reboot
Address and information was communicated with welcome email. Condos have ocean view from balcony. Was able to sit in fresh air and enjoy the sound of the surf. Beach access from property as well as pool and pier. Close to really good dining experiences. Unit was clean and had most of what is needed for short stays.

We had an amazing time. The location was perfect! We had a great view of the pool and ocean from our balcony. We loved being steps away from everything, including excellent restaurants, grocery store, pool and ocean. It is a good size for a family of 4 and had everything we needed. We watched the sunrise from the pier which was great. We also did two boat excursions (crabbing and shark fishing) that were very close by at the marina. Highly recommend that! It was a perfect getaway for my family!

Beach front condo
A massive construction renovation was being done below us. Hammering, saws, nail guns, and construction material ruined our stay. While the condo was clean it was well loved. The mattress was quite old and the bedroom blinds did not mask the spotlight just outside the window. Not conducive for sleeping.

Quaint and convenient
The condo is as described. It is not going to be the newest design with modern farm house or some chic design, so if thats your vibe then this wouldnt be for you. It is a classic beachy vibe with pale yellow and blues typical of a southern beach style. The cleanliness was great with a fresh clean smell which is welcoming upon arrival. The kitchen is well stocked with the basics and beyond, the coffee maker being the most important appliance for me was perfect. An updated model that can brew a carafe or single K cup style which allowed us to enjoy plenty of our mornings walking the beach with our coffee and not having to stand in line some where for that morning pick me up. The room is cozy with a queen bed, I would recommend bringing some extra pillows to make your stay even nicer. We brought our favorite pillows from home and had no issues with the accommodations that were there. Our 10 year old slept fine in the upper bunk while our 6 foot tall 17 year old found comfort on the queen sofa bed. The convenience of the location of the condo is excellent. Straight view to the pool and beach, it was wonderful to be able to beable to peak out on the kids splashing in the pool while preparing our picnic lunch. We spent most of our time in the water and exploring the area but found ourselves back often to cool off, refresh, and go again. The communication with the host was excellent and the owner was very helpful with infomation and very responsive with any questions.

Charming apt With Ocean View
This 1 bedroom apt has a Sitting Room sofa that converts to Queen bed. 2 bunk beds tucked into hallway are only suitable for small children. Kitchen was well equipped--varied cookware & colorful trays and dinner plates/bowls. Though 3 of our days were either cold & wet, of cool & overcast, we still walked the beach. On last day we enjoyed breakfast in brilliant sunshine on balcony w/ ocean view. Susan the owner could not have been more readily available & helpful. Note: Do not enter lockbox code before 4pm check-in time, or it will not open. Location was perfect for our dining out, browsing shops in Mount Pleasant, and picnicking in flower-filled Summerville--our "home town."

Couldn't have asked for a better 1 year anniversary.
We don't get to travel much and decided on a long weekend away for our 1 year wedding anniversary. This such a cute little place. Just enough space for 2 people. Super clean and tidy. The view off the porch was amazing. It was great waking up to see the ocean. There is a pool on property and easy access to the beach. You are within walking distance to places to eat and shop. We highly recommend Coconut Joes and Smugglers. Communication with the host was amazing. And the people in the area were so friendly. We highly recommend staying here. You will love it. While you are staying go into town to the aquarium and feed the stingrays as an added treat!
