#202 Top O' the Stairs 2Br/1Ba, Pet-Friendly

The property was very well decorated and updated. It's just the location was looking at the back of a restaurant in a gravel parking lot. No beach view whatsoever. Teeny tiny rooms, but again, very clean, very well decorated. Hostess was extremely responsive.

Property was in a great location. A couple blocks walk to beach. Easy walk. Close to a few restaurants and shops. Host was spectacular answering any questions promptly. She even mailed something I left behind! Good water pressure and comfortable beds. Kitchen was extremely well equipped. AC and fans all worked well. I spent 5 days here and it was very quiet. I will definitely stay here again. Sunrises were beautiful.

Great place to quietly enjoy the beach and area!

We loved our week stay here and hated to leave! We loved being so close to the beach and really loved exploring the town of IOP. The unit was so cute and clean and we really appreciated the beach stuff available for us to use. The property manager was also great and made us feel welcome!

The property interiors are always clean and as described. Grounds are pretty well kept. Management is very micro management focused with lots and lots of rules, signs and labels in every nook and cranny reminding you what to do and not do. Probably necessary for a property that gets lots of young people wanting to party at the beach. Most of the renters seem to be families so I am not sure what happened that required all the signs and labels everywhere. Parking at restaurants and other businesses on Sullivan's and IOP is limited so a LSV or golf cart is a good thing to rent while you are in town. Carts are allowed at the Ocean Inn, but you are not allowed to charge them. With this ridiculous information I sourced a gas cart vendor. I was checking out on Sunday but the cart vendor would only pick Mon - Fri. I asked Ocean Inn management to let it stay over night for pick up Monday morning. They said no. Not because of a parking space need but because of insurance liability. They posed the question who'd be responsible or take care of if it if someone backed into it. I was forced to talk the golf cart company into picking it up Friday for this reason and they made an exception and picked it up Saturday morning. I conveyed this to the Ocean Management to appease them. A few days later they told me that the cart could be dropped anytime the day I was checking in. The cart was dropped early AM that day with us checking in late that day. So what about the insurance concerns for those hours we were not there? Ocean Inn went on to recommend a moped rental place behind their property after I went through all this. It would have been nice to have add that info before I went through this. Bottom line it feels they fixate on the things that are not as big of an issue. The fact that were a good number of cigarette butts in the properties BBQ grill was off putting to me. They fact that there was a drunk person crawling (literally) to their room seemed more of an issue than a golf cart. I appreciate that you can bring your dog. I just wish there more trash cans. A dumpster out back is about all i could find. No trash can at the pool even. I appreciate their concern for property up keep. It just needs to be consistent, logically and not a study in micro management.

This is our second year staying at the property and won’t be our last. This is our family’s happy place and look forward to our visits every year.

This property was perfect for our family! Exceptionally clean and wonderfully stocked with everything we could have wanted! 5 stars!!

this was a spectacular place to stay. Easy 1 block walk to beach, ocean side restaurants, Buba, ice cream and a short drive to Charleston and all the history and plantations. Easy to rent surf board and rented boat for the day for boating to Sullivan's Island. Spectacular time!

The Property was very clean and agreat location just a short walk to the beach. It was also located near some shops and restaurants. Perfect little get away.

My wife and I and our pup enjoyed our stay. It was great! Walkable to the beach and to a great breakfast spot. Not too far from downtown Charleston too. Everything was clean and amenities were great. Would definitely book again.

We had an awesome experience. The property is right by the beach. The place was clean and just as advertised. The property manager is super nice and helpful. We visited with our dog and found them really accommodating. Other renters were pleasant when we ran into each other in passing but never really knew any one else was there once we were inside. We loved it so much we booked another unit at the property during our stay! Definitely recommend you give it a try!
