Our family enjoyed the spacious open living area, large front porch, and screened porch. Loved the short distance to the uncrowded beach. Each of the three families enjoyed having its own bathroom. It would have been nice to have three king beds instead of two queens and a king. This lovely traditional home is in need of a few updates and minor maintenance attention, but it was comfortable.

This home is in a great location on a quiet side street off Palm Blvd. With 5 BR and 3.5 baths, it handled our crowd of 12 with ease. As the description says, it is a bit dated (think 90's shiny brass fixtures), but its size and spaciousness makes up for that (for us, at least). The kitchen is functional although somewhat lacking in decent cookware. There are plenty of plates and cups and silverware, but only 7 bowls. We had an issue with the master shower while there and let Island Realty know so it can be addressed. We would definitely rent this house again!

I have rented this property several times over the years. Enjoy the easy access to the beach and the wonderful live oak in the front yard. These four days were again pleasant although the wind was high some, and there was water in spots that made beach accessibility difficult. Two of my children and their families live in Mt. Pleasant so we can gather for a meal and conversation. This property is one of the older ones around it but is still maintained to be comfortable. Those of us over 75 may find the number of stairs a challenge. But space is nice with three full baths and 5 bedrooms.

The house was in a great location and is pet friendly. Easy access to the beach and away from the public crowds. The house is large and roomy. It is older than the homes around it and needs some cosmetic updates inside and out. Some of the outside wooden steps are rotten which is a safety hazard. The kitchen cooking supplies are not great.

Rental was in a great location with easy access to the beach. The house was set up well for our party of 8 people.
There is considerable construction going on on 51st St with 3 other houses being built at this time so it was a little noisy while we stayed at our location.
During our stay we noted that when we used the washing machine it was discharging onto the lawn next to the driveway but we notified the management company so as not to be blamed for the situation.
Overall we would rent this house again if we go to the Isle of Palms.

We had a great time. The only issues that we had were related to the furniture. The couches lacked support. One of them had lost a few springs so the cushion just sank when you sat on it. All of the mattresses were lacking support and had a few springs that would poke you all night. But really the house was great. The location was wonderful. Even without the view to the beach.

The photos were not up to date. There is a house being built in the exact location of that amazing front yard. Construction workers began work at 8am. Sleeping in was not an option. Pictures should be updated to reflect actual rental conditions.

This is the fourth year we have stayed here January through March. It’s a large, roomy house just steps away from the ocean.( no streets to cross)
Great for family groups and grandkids visits. Big yard for outdoor activities and large porch with rockers for relaxing.
Could use update on Great room furniture. Only other drawback can’t be controlled- noise from construction in area. Hopefully will be completed by summer.

This house is in a nice location and a good size, but it is so rundown we won't return here. We stayed here in 2016, and there appears to have been zero updates. Kitchen cabinet doors won't close, the wall in the master bath has terrible damage and there were roaches in the shower! All this for $1000 per night more or less.

Our observation is that the owner has not made any changes based on reviews posted here. The only differences in this property from reviews posted 3-6 years ago is that it has deteriorated further.

Please note, in particular, the review posted 11/5/18 titled “First Visit to This House.” Our visit June, 2021 revealed the same conditions: house needs updating, kitchen cabinets are in terrible shape, appliances are well-worn (the dishwasher, in fact, is literally falling apart), all mattresses need to be replaced, and the sofas in the great room are in horrible shape.

Additionally, the appliances noted in the pictures for the property are different than what is in the house. The dining table has lost all its finish. The screen porch has torn screens. The master bath has obvious un-repaired water damage, and there is mildew/mold around the large window and on the blinds in that room.

We had a rodent in the house, and the management company was quick to respond to deal with this.

Coastal homes need regular upkeep and maintenance, but this one does not appear to have had any.

We would never stay in this house again.

Thank you for your comments. We do describe the kitchen as dated, and appliances do occasionally break and have to be replaced. With the recent sale of the adjacent lot next to the home, the owners are hoping to make some updates at the end of the year.

My family rented this property back in 2012 for a long weekend to celebrate some October birthdays. So I knew it was a vintage beach house with nice amenities. The beach is just down the side street with no main avenue between the house and the dunes. It is pet friendly with a large grassy yard for throwing a frisbee or football. There is ample space for sleeping 12 with good dine-in furnishings.

This house on 51st Ave #8 was perfect for my family of two! The teenagers had plenty of room and the wonderful front porch with rocking chairs gave everyone a chance to spread out and either enjoy TV inside and card games, or the ocean breeze on the porch with the enormous tree shading us. The young children really had fun on the grassy lawn tossing the football, and enjoying the game of badminton. I, the grandmother of this crew, has been coming to Isle of Palms since 1936, and this was one of the most perfect beach houses I have stayed in during these past 84 years! Thank you for making it so memorable for my family. The short walk to the beach, the cleanliness of the house, and the quietness and less crowd at this end of the island made it all so perfect!

We stayed here for our wedding weekend and hosted the wedding party and their families. The property of this place is incredible! The yard is perfect for yard games and a place to escape from the summer heat without having to go inside. Although there is no fence, there are enough “boundaries” between adjacent properties that our dog loved roaming around without his leash. With that said, do not expect many frills on the inside of the house. It is slightly outdated and does not come with many furnishings, especially in the kitchen. If you are looking for big screen TVs with fancy and modern furniture and appliances, do not stay here. If you are looking for a place that encourages long days at the beach, some evening cocktails on the porch and a simple place to rest your head at night, then this place is PERFECT!

Our family spent a July ‘20 week at this gorgeous home- great location, lots of room, nice layout, and beautiful front porch Minimal walk to beach, which is a huge plus. While we had an amazing week, this home needs lots of love. Immediate suggestions for improvement: thorough cleaning, especially of downstairs master bath; updated living room seating; add basic, commonly used cooking utensils for kitchen use; repair screen porch screens; not all tv’s were operable and need updating or removal; also, ensure cleanliness of outdoor grill (this seems to be a typical rental problem). Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable week. Location is what makes this property a gem and the live oak out front is just gorgeous!

The ouse is roomy and can accommodate 10 very easily. Clean and well furnished. The kitchen was lacking in larger pots / pans if you are cooking for a crowd, but that is probably not a vacation problem for most. There was a significant amount of construction underway on the house next door, which started at 7am every morning. It continued until 7pm with at least 12 to 15 trades people represented during the day, making the porch too noisy to be outside until late evening. Hopefully the construction is completed by now!

This was a new house for us this year. We were pleased with the location and general appearance of the property. However, the house can sleep 12 people, but was not furnished for that many. There was a shortage of silverware, serving dishes and pots and pans. Also there were only three chairs on the front porch. The property needs updating - the kitchen cabinets were in terrible shape, and the appliances were well worn. The mattresses all need to be replaced. The sofas are in horrible shape - when you "fell" in it was hard to get out. That said, we will be back another time.

The house has a good layout. Cabinets are in need of some repairs and it would have helped us to have some more pots/pans, etc. the front porch was lovely, enjoyed the shade tree and ability to see the ocean from the porch. New house going up next door, not sure if this will affect view. Location is good and beach isn’t crowded. There was a lot of rain in the weeks prior to our arrival so the beach access, as well as most nearby, was flooded. Beach access otherwise very convenient. Yard also very wet from rain so we couldn’t use for games, but would nicely accommodate yard games. Island realty very helpful. House is pet friendly, but overall very clean when we arrived (we brought no pets). We did use a lint brush to get some remaining pet hair off the sofas.

Overall, we had a wonderful time.We did not have to cross the road to get to the beach. There was plenty of room to spread out. There were a few hiccups with the house, but Island Realty responded to me within 30 minutes and all was well before the end of the day. Still can't get over how quickly they responded!!! The house owner needs to invest some money into paint, having the shrubs and palms trimmed, restocking kitchen cookware. However, none of this affected our vacation (maybe the 1 lumpy queen bed). The property manager needs to walk the property after every 3rd rental, going behind the cleaning service. The service could do a better job. But, again, this did not keep us from having a great time. We WOULD rent this house again!

The view from the porch was beautiful. The porch was well shaded and made for a great place to hang out, enjoy the breeze, and look out towards the beach. Easy walk to the beach. The kitchen did not have a lot of dishes or cookware. It would be difficult to prepare meals. The cabinets were not in great shape and most of the mattresses were not very comfortable.

The location was perfect. The layout of the house is great. The house is a little long in the tooth. It could use some general maintenance: some windows wouldn't open or wouldn't stay open, some screens were torn. In the upstairs bedroom with the 4 twin beds one of the windows is broken and has a hole in it. The mattresses in that room need to be replaced.
I was surprised to discover that there was only one pillow per person (aside from the pillows with shams) provided. The closets were full of extra pillows but there were not cases for them. I was informed by housekeeping that if you wanted pillow cases you would have to pay for them. Also we had 6 young children with us. When we were trying to wash the sand off them at the faucet by the garage we discovered there was broken glass all around it which no one had noticed or cleaned up.

Our large family had a comfortable stay in this house. The front porch with the live oak shading it made it possible to be in the rocking chairs most of the day. The walk to the beach was short and easy to manage. We reported several issues with house maintenance to the realty company as we left. There is an outdoor shower but it is not enclosed in a stall as I would have liked.
