2 Blocks to Beach • Dog-Friendly 2BR • Private Downstairs Retreat • Fenced Yard

Charming, dog-friendly and affordable 2BR/2BA ground-floor retreat located at 215 Charleston Blvd. on Isle of Palms—just a short 2-block walk to the beach! You’re also only 0.5 miles from Sullivan’s Island and about 10 miles to historic downtown Charleston.
This private downstairs unit offers easy ground-level access and is ideal for couples, small families, or travelers with dogs. Enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard, a new deck with grill and outdoor dining area, and a convenient outdoor shower with hot water.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, comfortable living area with cable TV and WiFi, and an in-unit washer and dryer. Linens are included for your stay.

Layout & Notes:

Guests have a private entrance and exclusive use of the downstairs space, backyard, deck, and outdoor shower. The home is a duplex, with the owner residing upstairs. The upstairs is quiet and respectful of guest privacy, but light daytime footstep noise is possible, as is typical in a multi-level home.
Both bathrooms feature compact shower stalls, consistent with many classic beach homes. While the indoor bathrooms are cozy, the outdoor shower is a guest favorite and provides a more spacious option for rinsing off.

Pet Policy:

Well-behaved dogs are welcome with a $175 non-refundable pet fee. Please be sure to select “traveling with pets” when booking so the fee is properly applied. This ensures guests without pets are not charged unnecessarily. Unauthorized pets will result in the fee being added to the reservation.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

This is a great hidden gem nested amongst multi million dollar homes. Just steps away from the beach and an easy walk into town. Great value and awesome place for dog owners. Thanks Lee for letting us stay at your place.

This was the perfect long weekend get away! The home had everything we needed, a beautiful back yard that was perfect for hanging out in - and fenced it with plenty of room for our pup to play around in. We both agreed this was the most organized VRBO we've ever been in. It had everything you needed to cook from home. A very quick talk to the beach. It was perfect.

We had a very pleasant stay at the house. The owners (who live upstairs) were very nice to chat with and very accommodating. We had our pooch with us, and having the fenced backyard area was very nice for her. The beaches were just a short walk from the house; we were on the sand in less than five minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place. Easy access to the beach.

This is a downstairs unit so there was a little bit of a noise issue with people walking around and a barking dog but it didn't cause any major problems. Close to the beach, a nice back yard with a barbeque. If you are a large/ tall person you may find the shower a little tight. The owner was easy to communicate with and checkout was easy.

Paradise for our small family with dog

This beach house was perfect for our small family with dog. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms on opposite ends of the property provided privacy, while the dining room, kitchen, and living room gave us ample room to come together. Not to be overlooked is the excellent backyard, fenced for the pooch and plenty of seating and a big umbrella table. Isle of Palms is a fantastic beach--no crowds, just good vibes! The outdoor shower was appreciated for keeping the sand where it belongs. The apartment is stocked with beach gear in case you did not bring your own. Ample excellent restaurants nearby, day trips to Mount Pleasant and Charleston--you will not lack in things to do when you have had your fill of the beach! Lee is an excellent host who goes above and beyond, even shipped back my son's toiletry bag that he left (oops!). If you have hesitations about staying in a downstairs apartment with owner above, let me assure you that Lee is there when you need him, but scarce when you don't, leaving you free to enjoy your vacation. We are already dreaming about our next visit here!
