Old-Fashioned Beach House with Huge Screened Porch - Steps from the Beach

Perfect for our needs and in a great location! This property is not the lap of luxury, but the place is clean and the beds are comfortable and the location can’t be beat. It definitely has a “Grandma’s beach house” kind of charm! The only qualm I had was about the electrical system- there are extension cords everywhere in the main living area! But everything worked and it didn’t burn down so I guess it’s ok!

It gave us what we were searching for: a S. Carolina island experience. Loved that it was a home, nestled in the shady pines. Loved the sweet short walk to a beautiful beach. Loved that it was a perfectly sized place for a small group of people, and so reasonably priced. It was clean, comfortable, quirky, and a pleasure to experience. (It had been described in comments as Grandma's Beach House- and that is exactly what we loved about it!)

We felt this home offered great value. It was a relatively easy 2 minute walk to the beach. Listing was accurate. Everything was clean and home had all of the basic and listed amenities we needed for our stay. Updated kitchen and newer washer / dryer downstairs. Liked how the home was somewhat hidden in the surrounding landscape. Lots of mature vegetation / trees / palms / pines. The outdoor porch area was a nice place to sit and listen to the ocean. Parking for three cars.

1960s decor , great newer galley kitchen,

We know it isn't updated. We know it doesn't have a pool but it's just perfect for our family on our multi-week vacation. We just feel at home there and we love it! So close to the beach. YAY!

The Island Pearl was clean and comfortable. The AC worked great, there was plenty of room to hang out and we had everything we needed! The short walk to the beach was a plus and the big trees for hanging our hammocks was awesome! We had a great stay and would stay again!

Very close to the beach with just a short walk to the beach access. Left from the home to the dead end and turn left. Follow the pavers to the beach access then right!

Fantastic location, but house is in real need of an update. Surfaces and floors in the house were very clean, but the living room furniture was soiled and stained. A deep clean is needed. Despite these problems, I would stay there again! You can't beat the location and price for a house at HH in Sea Pines.

We love everything about this home and can't wait to return year after year.

Don’t stay here if you need new, shiny, or modern. But if you don’t mind staying in what feels like grandma’s cozy 1980 Boca condo, and you want an affordable, very casual beach-close getaway, this is the place for you. It gets four stars mostly for its location, and it was very clean, and well-stocked with adequate bath towels. I really want to give it 3.5 stars, but since that wasn’t an option, I rounded up. I recommend bringing an Amazon stick for more entertainment options, extra trash liners, and, despite its location by the beach, your own beach towels & chairs. We didn’t spend a lot of time on the screened porch because we were here in chilly November, but it in warmer months, that room would be a highlight. They must take down the hammock in the photos for winter, as it was absent. Note: when we arrived, a smoke detector was beeping, and despite our call to Vacasa, no one arrived to replace the batteries. So we removed the battery & we’re careful not to start any fires.
