Dog-friendly Cottage! 3/30 night stays year-round! 7 Night/Monthly Discounts!

SHIAWA-SEA COTTAGE, LLC, is a Pet (Dog)-Friendly, 2 bedroom/1 bath (shower stall), Classic, family-owned Property, with cedar shake-look siding and sand-colored, standing-seam, metal roof, 2 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, in a quiet, residential, SC coastal neighborhood/barrier Island. Your stay will be the perfect get-away for couples traveling together and small families. If you are staying for a month with a Dog your Fee will be $10 per Pet (2 maximum) per night.

You first enter the expansive, cobalt blue carpeted screen porch, through a hand-crafted, mahogany door with South Carolina's state flag logo (palmetto/moon). On the porch, you will capture the ocean breeze and relax in the Pawleys Island Rope Hammock, enjoy appetizers/beverages, in the original Bentwood-style furniture dining area, and begin your stay on the Island. Cottage-style features include ceiling fans, glass block/leaded glass windows, maple hardwood floors & stucco walls.

You enter the dining room, through the ocean blue, hardwood door. A solid oak, antique table (seats 6), a carved-wood buffet, Ethan Allen dry sink cabinets & apothecary chest, enhance the classic Cottage features.

The Bedrooms, have queen-size beds and ocean blue quilts with nautical linens. The Cottage has central heat and air conditioning for the non-optimal seasons.

The open Family-kitchen, has a 50 inch flat screen, HD, wall-mounted TV. The original kitchen cabinets (circa 1946) are white-painted solid wood, the countertops are classic white Formica. A Classic Blue by Unique bottom-mount freezer with icemaker new in 2023. The Cobalt blue, hand-pottered, whale- accented ceramic tile back splash, will enhance your culinary experience. On the front deck, a gas grill is available for outdoor cooking & an umbrella table/chairs are available for al fresco dining.

From the Family-kitchen, you go down the internal stairwell to access the lower level (LL) laundry room.

The hot tub, which is maintained at 100-102 degrees , is perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun and watching the sunset. The outdoor shower room near the hot tub, has hot and cold water, allowing for year-round use. You have use of the year-round maintained, unheated pool, which is on our adjacent, 310 Palm Blvd. coastal Property.

South Carolina's moderate climate allows for year-round outdoor activities with beach days extending into December. The ocean temperature moderates in mid-April with 'good ole' summertime to follow. Enjoy the lazy days of summer on 'Main Street', our wide, sandy beach, just a 2 block walk away. In late Fall/Holiday-time/Winter, you will find the sitting area, near the gas log fireplace, to be a perfect spot to enjoy hot & cold beverages after a brisk walk/run on the beach. Also, the outdoor firepit awaits you to roast our succulent, salty local oyster clusters.

We know you will enjoy longer walks on the beach to Front Beach, for seafood, burgers, tacos, pizza, tropical drinks and live music. Also, you can take a short beach walk to Breach Inlet for dolphin/sunset-watching and dining at the Boathouse. We are confident you will enjoy your stay with us, where we have worked, raised children, enjoyed SC Coastal living and our Island lifestyle for 46 (and counting!) years.

Early June visit

We had the loveliest stay! My kids were home from college and the four of us had the best week hanging out on the porch, watching the stars from the hot tub, and spending many days walking and enjoying the beach. This house was perfect for all of this. I would recommend her home completely!

Great Get-Away

This is a quintessential beach cottage. The proximity to the beach is great - about a 5 minute walk. The decor is fun - so many things to look at and discover the owner’s travels and family. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fenced back yard was great for our dogs. Checking in and out was a breeze.

Perfect little place

We had a great time here. It’s a block off the beach in a quiet area. Screened porch was our favorite. Beds were comfortable. Owner was very responsive and great to work with. Location on Isle of Palm was fantastic—about 25 minutes to downtown Charleston and only 10 minutes to Mount Pleasant. We look forward to coming back!
