The Carolina Cottage has 4 BR, 4 1/2 BA. This spacious home is beautifully renovated with top of the line amenities. There are 2 sun decks - one with gas grill and the other is a roof-top deck with slight ocean view and great breezes. There are also 2 screened porches that allow you lots of 'outdoor' spaces. One is a 'rocking-chair' front porch and the other is a huge 'living porch' with comfy seating area, fireplace, TV, and large dining table. Home is situated on double lot that affords privacy and easy access to the best beach area! Kitchen is equipped with all the necessary items any gourmet cook would need!

Three of the bedrooms have King beds and the 4th has a Queen bed. All bedrooms have cable TV. Each bedroom has its own bath or private bath right across the hall. All bathrooms are recently renovated, fresh and clean. Plenty of room for a pack-n-play if needed. Also have other baby items if needed. Upstairs Master BR has access to back screen porch. Downstairs 'Cabana' bedroom has its own porch as well. Each bedroom is very private and quiet because the house is so spacious and spread out.

This house has so many wonderful areas to enjoy. You can enjoy a drink on the front porch in the relaxing rockers or porch swing. The living room with gas fireplace has comfy seating for reading your favorite novel or napping. The oval dining table seats 8 comfortably and 10 is possible. The enormous great room is a wonderful gathering room with 52' TV, stereo-surround sound, plenty of comfortable seating and open to the amazing kitchen with barstools for those who can chat with the 'chef' while meals are prepared. The back porch is a great place to enjoy a warm wood-burning fire in the winter or watch sports with friends. The whole house stereo can play music from your Ipod or CD's to all the living areas. The adjacent grilling deck makes entertaining a breeze and the large dining table on the back screen porch makes for great meals or playing games. The covered patio below this screened porch has ping-pong table, croquet and corn-hole game as well as a shady place to sit and enjoy an afternoon drink while the sun is setting. Huge back yard is great place for croquet or bocce ball.

Best of all, this house is located near an easy beach access and owner provides a large beach cart to carry all your beach needs - chairs, umbrellas, koolers, beach toys, etc. Makes the short (5 minute) walk so much easier!! There's also an outdoor shower with hot/cold water.

This house is cared for and managed by the owners. It is our permanent residence. We have renovated it with so much attention to detail and it is such a comfortable, fun, livable house. Any one who's ever stayed here has loved it!!! (READ OUR REVIEWS!!) We love it too and hope you will!

We only rent our home for the summer months and the price is great compared to other homes of equal quality. Compare the photos and see for yourself!

                        A great vacation home for our family, 4 adults and 2 teens. Kitchen and Family room was a convenient place for us all to gather. Also the back porch is peaceful and offers another gathering place. we simply loved the home and it served us well. We would do again, which is our best recommendation.

                        It's so redundant to espouse the exact feelings that others have shared about 203 Carolina; pictures don't do it justice, lots of space to spread out for privacy, but still come together as a family, rooftop deck views are awesome, a home that has been so well cared for you feel the love as soon as you walk in. We've been vacationing at the IOP for close to 20yrs and this is by far the best place we've ever had. thanks to you both for opening it up to the weary family in search of some solace.

                        This is an amazing house! It might be hard to believe, but the pictures really don't do it justice. From the rooftop deck to the serene cabana, you'll be more than impressed. Its unique design provides multiple private areas for cozy, quiet times and wonderful gathering places for your whole group to enjoy. The owners have tastefully decorated it and you'll find it exceptionally clean. They are friendly and helpful and make you feel like family. The beach is just a short, pleasant walk. Use the large beach cart that's provided, load it up and spend the day there. When you return, have dinner on the spacious screened-in back porch and enjoy the beautiful landscaping. Afterwards, relax on the rooftop deck and spend the rest of the evening star gazing. It doesn't get better than this! Thank you, Joanie and Tim, for a wonderfully memorable vacation!

                        We enjoyed a wonderful family vacation in Isle of Palms at this beautiful home. I was a little leery to rent a private home because I wasn’t sure if the description and pictures were going to be an accurate reflection of the property. This house exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is decorated beautifully, the location is perfect (5 minute easy walk to the beach), and it has all the ammenties you could ask for (fantastic kitchen with everything a chef could ask for). The home is laid out perfectly, plenty of spots for us to gather as a family and enjoy each other’s company (big dining room table tor family meals and card or board games, big family room to enjoy movies together, big front porch to reminisce and chat) and it also has tons of little area to just get away and be by yourself to enjoy some peace and quiet or a good book. Great downstairs area for the kids to play ping –pong, darts, corn hole, and just have fun kid time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

                        We rented this house for 3 of our children and their young families. It was absolutely ideal. The bedrooms with bathrooms were spaced apart from one another so that each family had an area to call their own. The large living area and kitchen were designed so that we could all gather in the same room and have plenty of space to be together. However, if one wanted to get away from the hub-bub of noise and have peace and quite or an intimate conversation, there were many screened in alcoves to do so. My personal favorite was the front porch where I could swing or rock with one grandchild or another. The kitchen was so well supplied that we chose to take turns fixing meals and cleaning-up. It not only saved on money but it also provided a place where we could eat and talk together without having to wait in long line and still not be able to sit together. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We simply could not have asked for a more perfect situation or place to rent that could have served our needs better..

                        My family stayed in this home last week and it was wonderful!. The home was AMAZING. The house is even more beautiful than in the pictures! It is very spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need. The kids loved playing ping pong, darts, and having their own tv's. They truly enjoyed being at the house as much as being on the beach. The owner was very helpful and gracious. I would highly recommend this home!

                        We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home very much! It is so spacious, with room for all of your guests to relax and enjoy. The layout is completely practical, with very nice bedrooms and bathrooms throughout the home. The porches are fantastic! Plenty of room inside and outside to eat, read, play games and enjoy your vacation. Plenty of water/showers outside to get cleaned up after a day at the beach! The location is fantastic - with so many sites and restaurants nearby. The linens and towels were top quality. We found everything we needed in the kitchen! I would definitely come back!

                      Owner info

                      Year Purchased: 2006

                      About the owner: Tim and Joanie Teel met in college and have been married for 39 years. In 2000 we decided to move to Isle of Palms because we love the beach and the proximity to Charleston!

                      Why the Owner Chose Isle of Palms:
                      We built our first home on IOP in 2000 on Carolina Blvd. and loved the neighborhood. In 2005 we sold that home and bought this 1950's beach house at 203 Carolina. We renovated the entire house while keeping the 'old beach house' character in-tact. We decided to share our home with others this summer and hope that many more can see why we love the Isle of Palms!!

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      Living on the Isle of Palms is like living in the past. We call it 'the Slow-Country'!! The pace is slow and relaxing - whether you are vacationing or live here all the time. We love to ride bikes to a number of places on the island for dinner, walk our dog on the beach, and I even work on the island and can walk or ride my bike there too! From this house you can walk to one of the best restaurants in Charleston - The Boathouse! Or ride your bike to the Windjammer for a beer on the deck, or dinner at Front Beach - so many choices!
