Great location a couple blocks from the beach and walking distance to dining and shopping
Second time here and just as good. Works great for our family and small dog. Short easy walk to beach, morning coffee and grocery store. Will be back again!
Absolutely perfect location! Looks a bit different than the pictures, there was some pet hair but hardly a problem as we understood this was pet friendly. There was no washer detergent but the stay overall was great
Comfortable home and easy walk to the beach. Also within short walk to shopping area with grocery store and restaurants/coffee shop. Large fenced yard which was a plus for our dog.
It was the perfect place for me and my husband to get away for a few days. We enjoyed the location and the quietness of the neighborhood. The backyard was excellent for our dog. We felt really comfortable and safe.
Great house for a quick weekend stay in Isle of Palms. Close enough to walk to a public access to the beach and close enough to walk over to the grocery store and a morning coffee place. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog too.
Great location and perfect little cottage with everything we needed for a few days at the beach. Walking distance to coffee, groceries, and the beach. We will definitely be back!
