Great house with some minor inconveniences
What a great stay! We had a great time at this house and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. There were 17 of us and we had more than enough room for everyone. The location is great; it is literally on the beach. The waves were not very big while we were there and the inlet being nearby can cause some crazy currents, so we had to watch out for the kids when out in the water. We did have some inconveniences while there. 1. The WiFi was terrible - Several of us had work commitments during the trip that required internet and it was difficult to say the least. 2. The cable was out for over 24 hours at one point during the trip - Our resident Atlanta Braves fan missed his team's playoff game! 3. The 6-burner cooktop in the kitchen was barely functional and really needs servicing or replacement ASAP. 4. The pop-up vent hood for the cooktop is barely functional and had to be propped up to keep functioning while we were cooking. Same as the cooktop, this appliance is super janky - replace it ASAP.

A great house with so much room for all. Loved being on the beach and also having a pool. Our large family had plenty of room to cook in the kitchen and had plenty of places to sit and eat. The property manager was very quick to respond to fixing things that came up. Recommend for large groups or families.

Beautiful home on the beach!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. There was so much space in the house that even with 25 people, we didn't feel on top of each other. The private access to the beach and the pool were great! There were a few small things that could have been fixed prior to our arrival to make our trip even smoother (hard to open sliding doors, empty propane tank on the grill, missing wheels on dishwasher drawers making it very difficult to pull them out) but overall it was really a great property to vacation with family!

Family Vacation 2022
There were 14 of us from California, Az,Illinois & Wisconsin all meeting up with my nephew from the airforce base in Charleston. We filled this 10 bedroom home and made so many memories! Having heated the pool was a great call because it was a cool week. We took several day trips and stayed & enjoyed the beach& home on others. There is a game lounge upstairs which we used for cards & dice at night! Did lots of cooking in the most beautiful kitchen. Huge TV that was enjoyed by my 2 y/o grandson & the guys at night!! Loved having my coffee on the deck in their rockers- so peaceful. The view is amazing. Saw dolphins daily on our walks on the beach! If we needed anything just sent a text and within an hour they were responding & usually taking care of the issue. Everyone having their own en-suite with the bedroom was awesome. Gated pool with a nice wooden deck to the beach was perfect with the little one! The ping pong table also got a lot of use! If we ever go back this way it is a perfect home for a large group!!. We would rent it again over & over! Thank you for sharing this amazing home

Nice property. Had a great time!
Size, layout and location were great. The home could use a bit of attention. Broken pull out couch, lights that flickered, neither the ice machine or the ice maker in the fridge worked and several of the bathrooms could use some new caulking. The mattress pad on the second pull out couch was seriously stained. That said, we had a wonderful time. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone in our family. The pool and beach were perfect!

Great location!
This was a wonderful beach house for 10 adults and 6 young kids. Beautiful house and amazing location. There were a few maintenance items that needed attention so we contacted the management company to fix them. However they never got back to us. The lights in the pantry were out and so it was very inconvenient to have a full pantry dark for the week. Was hoping they would have been more responsive.

Beautiful views, worn interior
I booked this home almost a year ago for a reunion of college friends. We were all really excited to stay in this home due to the amazing reviews and great pictures. However, about a month before our trip when I called to pay money (approx. $500) to have the pool heated, since we were going in early March, my complaints started. They informed me, with a few "I'm sorry" statements, that the pool would not be able to be heated due to construction that was happening to the pool. This was an extremely disappointing turn of events as my friends and I (all of us being from the midwest) were really looking forward to swimming and had paid more money for an ocean view home with a pool. After a lot of effort on my part, a lot of advocating for our group, and a lot of excuses from the rental company we were issued a partial refund. However, during the process they did also offer to cancel the reservation all together, which was also an unacceptable option due to the size of my group (20) and the nearness of the trip (a month out). They also offered to cancel when I mentioned writing a review, saying they'd be "nervous we'd write a bad review the entire time we were there". I would think this nervousness would have helped the following, when we arrived we learned from figuring it out on our own (no signs, no communications, etc.) that the ice maker was broken and molding, the refrigerator was not hooked up to a water line, so no ice there either, that one of the microwaves was not working, and on Friday (our first full day there) the pool had chemicals put in it which meant we were not allowed in the water till 3pm that day (again, heard from the pool company, NOT East Island Rentals). Overall the interior is a great space for large groups. It is spacious, well equipped, and nicely laid out. The rooms are as advertised. We were happy though that we were not at capacity as the pull-out sofas and twin bed chairs all had EXTREMELY thin and worn mattresses on them. FInding extra sheets and pillows for the one we did use was also a scavenger hunt. Everything about the house is a little worn and honestly, dirty. From a towel bar that fell off when touched, a grimy soaking tub , to cabinets that have paint chipping and doors hanging off, etc. EIR had a staff member come on site for another issue, when I approached him to talk he did not apologize for the things that were broken, inquire about our stay thus far, or thank us. Customer service is NOT their strength!

Large, spacious vacation home on the water
The property was quite large and served our vacationing extended family quite well (even the parents of young children). The property felt like a vacation rental home; clean, solid furniture, ideal location, and gorgeous views, yet lacked some of the luxuries of a home (throw blankets, fresh paint, consistent internet throughout the house, and kitchen organization). The kitchen and spacious living room were the primary hubs and the multiple refrigerators were key. We paid for the pool heating, yet never felt any warm water and it never got past the point of a polar plunge. If it’s winter time, don’t bother. We did message the property owner about the pool and another minor issue. While responsive, the pool issue was not resolved. It was Christmas week, so likely a tough time to get repairmen on short notice. I would recommend this home to others as it was a solid home and location.

Perfect location on IOP
We had several family members from all over the country, some for their 1st trip to the East Coast, who thoroughly enjoyed our week. The house is perfectly set up for a very large group since you have 2 laundry rooms, 2 dishwashers, 3 refrigerators, refrigerators, et cetera. Being so coast to the inter coastal waterway also provided a large array of different wildlife and fish. My negative was for the cost of the house the landscaping doesn't look like it's been touched the entire year. The grass had not been cut. The pine straw did not look refreshed in the last several months and there were weeds growing around the pool up through the cracks in the concrete. Large ones. And the ice maker went out at the house and the gentleman who came to look at it were very nice but they pulled it out on the porch where we hung out every night and it was never repaired or moved from the porch. And the main freezer in the kitchen did not make ice or water. Rooms were all very spacious. Plenty of privacy!

The home was absolutely perfect for our group. The communal areas were spacious and accommodating, and the wide range of bedrooms, bathrooms, and outdoor space also allowed for quieter moments.
