Our little Slice of HEAVEN- Come have a fun and relaxing vacation at our beachfront little get-away on the Isle of Palms, Charleston, SC. Wake up in an oceanfront condominium on one of South Carolina's most beautiful beaches. Excellent 2nd floor views have fewer stairs (than 3rd floor) for great ocean view...no elevators. (1st floor views look out towards the beach, and nice pool view, but are a bit too low to see ocean.) Beautiful sunrise and an awesome sunset, dolphins out front in the surf. You can view all of this while keeping an eye on older kids in the Saltwater Pool, all from the comfort of your living room, kitchen, or balcony. As of April '23 we have added: a brand new smooth top range, brand new queen sleeper sofa, new 20 Cu. Ft. Bottom Freezer Frig, Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 3-Way Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pods or Grounds, and LVP Brazilian cherry flooring.
This is a 1BR condo with entry/pass-thru room bunks, and queen sleeper in small LR. 500 sq.ft. total means each room is SMALL, but the condo is 2x the size of standard hotel room.
Updated every Spring, We do not have granite or stainless in our salty seafront spot. The Whites of the Sand, Blues of the Ocean and Sky, and the Yellows of Sunshine, is our preferred, Beachy, Carolina Style.
Why priced so well? We are the owners, grew up here, live close by, and have been doing this for 20+ years now, so we are competitive at pricing.
