There is plenty of natural sunlight and fresh air entering into the airy house, making it a perfect beach paradise for a small group. The living room has a comfortable couch where you can hang out with your folks while watching a movie or show on the television.

Perfect Location
This is what a "beach house" is supposed to be: full of character and good vibes. I don't remember other VRBO's and hotels I've stayed in because they didn't have this kind of character. A hotel room is a hotel room is a hotel room. If you want to experience the fantasy of what it's like living close to the beach, this is the VRBO for you. Will definitely stay again.

Good place, great ocation
The hose was fine but confusing when it came to the lights, ac, and random items. There was noticeable mold growing on the ceiling in the addition in the back of the house and some basic upkeep would be well served. But we did not have any issues with the property. The location is great and easy walk to beach and downtown area.

Perfect for my group
We traveled here for a baseball tournament at the Shipyard. The house is absolutely perfect for the 3 adults and 3 kids. VERY short walk to the beach. The inside of the home is not luxurious but that isn’t our style anyway. It’s very beachy and a great place to stay. The home met our needs for the week. Side note…the listing says there is someone living underneath the property but we only saw him once. It was almost like no one was there at all. No issues whatsoever.

Mixed feelings…
The place was clean and had pretty much everything you’d need however the check in process was absolutely terrible and there were a couple issues within the house. There were no keys left for us and the realty company tried to pass this off as our fault. Broken kitchen table chair legs with ragged sharp edges, soft spots in the floor in several places inside and the decking outside.

A COVID New Years
Staying during COVID we were expecting to cook for all our meals. The kitchen is tiny and there isn't much work space. Also, there isn't a dishwasher which is fine but the dry rack doesn't have a drip pan under it and so all the dishes drain onto the only worksurface for prepping food. Also, the internet is crap. It doesn't work. All of our devices only connected one time and then it wouldn't connect after the device went to sleep, super frustrating especially when you bring a streaming device to connect to the TV and it only worked once. Another thing is it is a charge if you leave the TV on the wrong source, like what the heck, $$$ to hit a button?!? Absurd! For the price we paid to stay I really would have loved for the internet to actually work. Location was what we were looking for, but the internet didn't work and there isn't a damn switch to find in the addition on the back, no way to turn the lights on.

September beach time
We appreciated that the kitchen was adequately stocked for use, the house gave us easy access to the beach, and we slept comfortably in the bedrooms. There was no easy way to rinse off feet or bodies to enter the house from the beach, and this could be easily and inexpensively rectified by installing a new hose with a nozzle. What is there now is leaky, broken and inadequate. We also think that Carroll Realty, or the owners, should replace the rollup bamboo shades that cover most of the windows in the house. They are dirty, broken and largely un-useable, and it makes for a dark house. Our favorite room ended up being the front porch, which is not air conditioned, but which is very light-filled and comfortable to sit in once the windows are open. But these windows also need some TLC, as they are dirty and have broken or missing screens. The grounds were also somewhat littered with cigarette butts. All in all, we found our stay there enjoyable and adequate. The repairs needed are relatively minor but will make a qualitative difference.

Iop stay
The property was filthy, has electrical outlet problems, and did not have the two televisions the write up said. We contacted Carroll Reality about the outlets and they did not acknowledge nor reply to the three messages we left. The person who lives downstairs blocked the only entrance to the sidewalk. He moved his car and golf cart after we complained to the rental agency. We expected cozy and got filthy instead.

Classic Beach House
Exterior looked bad, but interior had classic beach feel. It was clean and well appointed, but kitchen was very small and we missed havining a dishwasher. Bedrooms (all 3) were good size, bathrooms (2) small, but functional. The beach equipment supplied with the rental was excellent, especially the cart, which was necessary given the "fourth row" location.

Great location.... Need to work on privacy
This property is super close to the ocean (a block and a half a way) and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The main complaint is that the property owner doesn't seem to understand that people are paying to be at the house. We came with our truck and trailer (golf cart on it) and we parked it in the driveway that lead to the backyard (no vehicles back there and no indication stating where to park or not to park) about an hour or so after parking a stranger knocked on out door telling us that he is a family friend and that we have to move our vehicle.... No issue but the next night we looked outside and there was a truck pulled over in the driveway with about 4 or 5 cop cars behind him. Apparently it was the son of the property owners and his friends who were trying to get out of being arrested at about 10 o'clock at night. While accidents happen, one of the individuals renting the room with me walked down to try to make sure everything was OK (we had a 6 year old with us and wanted to make sure it was safe), he was patted down and questioned also-to prove that he had no association with the individuals being arrested. While the trip was generally wonderful having interruptions directly related to the owners were somewhat distasteful.

Our visit was good.
There was a toothbrush and toothpaste in the shower, the shower door was/is broken, the a.c. didnt work very good, there was dried up contact lenses on the bed side table so we have to wonder how good it's actually cleaned between people. But it was a cute little home and we really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect, convenient to the beach and shops.

Some work needs to be done. Fairly clear for the most part, but it needs a deep cleaning.
The back ceiling needs work and the floors were kind of dirty. There was also no dishwasher? Or wifi. Though, both were advertised as being there. Location was great, though.

Our family of five had the best time here. The home is perfect. Just what you would expect in a SC beach house. Beach and business district just around the corner. Walk to everything including the grocery store. Bring your own games. We will return as soon as we can.

Needs some major work.
We came into a soak floor due to a whole in the ceiling. The floors were covered in sand and dirt. The oven was nasty and required cleaning. The whole place stunk of age. The furniture was old but somewhat comfortable. The beds were the only nice thing in the house. The oven only worked if you turned on more than 1 burner at a time. There was no temperature dial on the oven so you had no clue what temp you were cooking at. The microwave worked but you could not see the times you were setting. This is a duplex but the person below us appears to live there full time and snored all night and could be heard as if they were sleeping next to you. The washer and dryer are located in the master bath but they are out of the way and worked great. The location is great. It is just a 2 min walk to the beach that was not at all crowded. As well as a 5 minute walk to the IOP shopping area and restaurants. I personally would not recommend staying at this location until they have done some upgrades in the Kitchen, general maintenance, a deep and thorough cleaning as well as some upgrades to the furnishings. If you choose this location, bring extra bedding if you don't like the cold. There is little to no bedding on the beds and no extra bedding that we could find. You only get 2 towels per room so you can either bring more or use the washer and dryer. There is no dishwasher so bring extra kitchen towels.

Good Location but needs some improvements
This cottage has ample space in both the common areas and the bedrooms. The kitchen is very small and not very well equipped. The eyes of the stove and the oven leave much to be desired. The AC which is installed in the back common area is not properly installed. It kept the area cool but there were open spaces at the window. The WiFi had been changed and there was no notification in the cottage of the new network or password. The cottage is located near the beach and it is an easy walk. The cottage was clean and fairly well maintained over all. Also would suggest adding an additional TV in the back common area. If the kitchen and the AC was improved we would return to this cottage.

Perfect Location IOP Beach Cottage
Great time for the whole family. This is a perfect IOP beach cottage; nothing fancy but plenty of room for the whole family and easy walking to the best beach on the island. With the 2 living room spaces we were able to spread out; some watching preseason football in 1 room, puzzles and reading in the other. So helpful to have linens provided - beds were great. The kitchen however is minimum. The stove is temperamental, no dishwasher and limited counter space - so if you are wanting to cook like I do when at the beach it can be challenging. But there are 2 dining tables and counter seating and we made do. We did rent a golf cart for exploring IOP - even went to the island Harris Teeter in it. Great Vacation!

This place is wonderful! Great location, clean, great location and just enough room. My family and I rented it and could fit 6 comfortble.....loved every minute out at IOP. The one thing that could really be fixed was the doors were very loud when opening and closing...needs Wd40. Overall loved this place
