Island Retreat | 5 BR | POOL | HOT TUB | ELEVATOR | 2 BLOCKS FROM BEACH

Beautiful property, comfortable, easy walk to beach. Stocked well, kitchen, baths, beach and pool gear. Loved the backyard and the screened porch!

This was our second year at the property. We love the location, situated on a quiet street but close to the shops, beach, and public park. The responsiveness from the host was also outstanding. We had a problem with the built microwave early in our stay but a counter top model showed up the very next day to use until the built in unit could be replaced. We also appreciate the use of both garage stalls and the beach gear, including chairs and a cart to transport everything. Pool is also a welcome and relaxing option when we couldn’t get to the beach. Great stay once again!

This home is outstanding and the host is very responsive to all questions and communications! This part of the beach is less crowded than right around the pier. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful house, great access to beach!

Beautiful property! Great yard for kids and furry family! Elevator very helpful for stair challenged!! Wonderful supply of beach chairs/wagons/umbrellas and easy walk down road to beach access… quick response from owner/manager when neededDefinitely would stay there again!!

The property/amenities were just okay. Upon arrival we found the hot tub was dirty (lots of sand) and the sauna didn’t work. I contacted the host and she had the pool company come clean the hot tub. A day later an electrician came and looked at the sauna. I was sent a message by the host that the sauna needed parts and would not be working for our stay. I said I was disappointed and the response was “well the sauna is not a part of the amenities” ? Really? Then why list it? In addition one trash bag, one roll of paper towels, one roll of toilet paper (per bathroom) is insufficient for the cost of this property. What would it cost per stay to supply the guest with the above 20-30 bucks. I choose the property because it allowed a small dog. If given the chance again I would have picked another property.

Despite that it rained the ENTIRE week we were there, our family still had a great time because of all the amenities the home has to offer! The house is perfect for a family of all ages too. It provided just the right amount of privacy for my husband and I, and our adult children and spouses. We loved having coffee on the front porch and using the screened in porch during the evening. The kitchen is very large and has every possible utensils, pots and pans and such. They only provide one bath towel per person though, and you’ll need to provide body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Also stock up on toilet paper and paper towels as well. With that being said, I’d stay there again in a heartbeat! The host and here daughter were wonderful too! The battery in one of the fire alarms was running low, and they had a lovely gentleman come out right away to replace all the batteries. We have terrific memories staying there!

Our stay in Isle of Palms was enhanced by the outstanding amenities provided at this ‘Island Retreat’. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub and short walk to the beach. The interior was spacious and convenient for all of our family members. The easy elevator access to each floor was greatly appreciated. We would recommend the ‘Retreat’ to family and friends and utilize again on any return visits.

The property was as advertised and very enjoyable for all especially the kitchen was well appointed and in the main the property manager visited to make sure all was well. There was one glaring exception -- which is why I gave it 4 and not 5 stars. The pool pump motor was off-scale loud -- so loud that they turned it off each night or the neighbors would complain (per the pool guy). We complained about it because we spent so much time each day and evening around the pool and it was just discussion stopping obnoxious. We were told that this is what pump motors sound like -- we have pools at home and know what pump motors are supposed to sound like -- this was way, way bad (if it was Ok, why did you have to turn it off at night to keep the neighbors from complaining). Anyway, even with this problem, the home was great, and we all enjoyed the vacation. But, just fix the motor. Thanks.

Very lovely home with plenty of space for a large family. Outdoor areas were great! We really enjoyed the pool, deck and beautiful front porch.

We really enjoyed the gated backyard and pool area. Perfect for the kids!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, and somehow even better than the pictures—plenty of room to spread out and relax.That said, for a property at this price point and with such a luxurious feel, a few small upgrades would go a long way. The cookware and barware could use a refresh, better pots and pans, some real serving bowls, and glassware that matches the upscale vibe of the home. Also, basic supplies like trash bags, paper towels, tissues, and shower gel should really be stocked. These small touches make a big difference in the guest experience, especially in a home of this caliber.Overall, a fantastic property with so much potential to be top-tier with just a few thoughtful improvements.

We stayed 2 years in a row and the experience was great

We spent our family vacation at this wonderful house. Our group consisted of two seniors, four adults aged 40 - 42, and five children ages 5 - 10. We chose this house because it was perfect for my husband who has mobility issues. The house has an elevator, pool, and a Relax the Back chair which was important since he cannot sleep in a bed. It was also 2 blocks from the beach which made treks to the beach easy for others in the group. We really enjoyed the pool and yard and sitting on the front porch reading in the rockers. The house was well stocked and ideally laid out for our group. I had a shower stool sent to the house for my husband. Ann Louise was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. All in all, it was a great vacation, and we hope to come back again.

Our son was married on the beach and the house was agreat place to stay before and after.

This was an amazing week and the house is in a fabulous location and proximity to beach. Property manager was very responsive and it was nice to have an elevator. A couple of things, bathrooms on third floor are outside of the bedrooms so that was just a little bit a of a design or style that I didn’t expect. I also thought there would be a bathroom on the ground level to access easily from the pool. Those were things I missed and for the price wished I had. The parking is also one drive path with a sideways garage so difficult to access easily. This house has a lot of charm with a great front porch for rocking.

We’ve stayed in many rentals and this may be the most ideal for multigenerational families. Loved it!

Fun filled home with comfortable amenities. Close to shops and beach. Our family loved spending time together and making memories at this lovely home. We hope to visit again.

Great Location,Great property manager, the house had repairs done but they did not seem to be professionally done as we have stayed at other properties in Isle of Palms.Make sure pool pump has been replaced if you consider renting.
