Nostalgic house that was perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids. Location can not be beat.

The grass was 8" tall. There was no hose at the front of the house in order to wash off feet. You have to go to a rental office to pick up and drop off a key. There was a pet fee, but you are required to do the cleaning and there was NO VACUUM. Kitchen pots and pans are in poor condition. Great location.
This was our 3rd stay at this property. It’s right around the corner from the beach path and all the restaurants. We love that we can bring our fur family and it’s very comfortable. Have already booked again for March! Can be a little loud during the season because of location.

Hi Emily! We are so glad that you have found the perfect get away for your family! Most of our guests appreciate the close proximity to the beach access and restaurants on Sullivan's Island. We find that a loud walker or person riding by on beach bike is more rare than common. We are excited to host your 4th stay at 2250 I'on Ave! Please reach out to Carroll Realty to book your future trips.
The quintessential Sullivan’s beach house — old wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and primo screened-in porch. Everything you would want. Proximity to restaurants is huge bonus. Already booking again for next year.

Yea! Perfect review of our beach home - thank you! Look forward to your staying again with us :)
We loved staying at this amazing beach cottage so much & truly didn’t want to leave. It’s cozy, with all the basic you need for a comfortable stay. The bed in the primary bedroom was really comfy. The screened porches on the front & back of the house were wonderful places for us to relax and read. What stands out the most is the location!! You can’t beat it. A block from the beach & a block from all the restaurants/shops. We hope to be back soon!!
We picked this listing because of the location on the island. It’s the perfect walking distance to restaurants and the beach. The property itself felt neglected. Furnishings are tired - chairs on the covered porch were falling apart. We had to move beds in order to plug in lamps that had been unplugged. The kitchen felt dingy and the crazy assortment of dishes felt like they were collected from Goodwill. A mat covered the drain in the primary bath (the only renovated room) where tiles were coming off of the shower floor.
I love an old beach cottage, but this place needs some attention.

House is a bigger than it looks in the photos. Big fairly open floor plan, good yard for dogs.Messaged three times to get the check in information with no reply. No information was sent prior to our arrival. Finally, had to call the property mgmt office and was told to come to them to pick up the keys. Also, no check out information was provided, which can get pretty specific with other rental properties. Had to call to ask what to do with the keys. They asked for us to bring the keys to them to their office. This is all information that could have easily been in the rental posting.
There were 4 adults and two dogs. We loved the home. Private fenced back yard, parking for 2 cars (easily) off street. Right across the street from downtown Sullivan’s Island, but pretty quiet. Less than 5 minute walk to beach.
Home is clean, very open. Love all the indirect lamp lighting options
We’re coming back next year.

Carroll Realty loves that you enjoyed your stay at 2250 Ion Ave on Sullivan's Island! Thank you for taking the time to share your 5 Star Review with future guests! Hope you will reach out to us for your next beach vacation. :)
Great stay! Location was perfect. Check in and out, super easy. Pet friendly was a must for us, and a nice fenced in yard was a huge bonus! Nice hose out back to wash puppy paws after long walks and we brought our own towels and blankets for the pups and a dyson just in case. We walked our pups everyday and to every meal, most all restaurants on the Main Street and everyone was very welcoming and food was delicious! The booking process through vrbo was a bit onerous… I purchased trip damage insurance for the “just in case” situation and “peace of mind,” only to find out there was some level of insurance already included. I also found after paying, out the pet fee, while I thought was high to begin with, was per pet thus, times two, and I was charged immediately after the fact (which is how it works but the amount of the fee caught me off). Since I only booked less than two weeks out, nothing was eligible refundable nor did I even ask. Over all, we had a great stay and it was a great location, but my cost was 2x with all the fees and I may have considered something else nearby.
My husband and I come to SI twice a year and this is our second stay at Rolling Tide! We love this charming beach house and so do our furry children. The fenced yard is fabulous, close proximity to the beach, breezy porches, and comfortable accommodations are awesome! Love the master bath renovation. Can’t wait to come back in December 😊
House & yard was very clean. Nice screened porches & close proximity to everything we wanted to do while in town for a long weekend getaway. Beach just a short walk away
This place could not be better located and we absolutely loved the big backyard for our doggies. They had the time of their lives! Plenty of room in the house to unpack and spread out. Will definitely be coming back!

Photos do not do this property justice! It is much larger than we anticipated! The original floors, high ceilings with beams, two screened in porches, deck and huge fenced in yard gave our party of six adults plenty of room and privacy and the property so much charm. One block from the beach was perfect! Was so surprised it was only one block from the nightlight and restaurants! Very quiet! Loved it! Would love to stay here again.
Two blocks from the beach, fenced in yard, allows dogs. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable. Third time we've stayed at this house. It is an older house, they all have issues at one time or another, but the property manager will get them fixed. We are pretty laid back, so it has to be awful to get us riled up - I mean, it's an older house. It has a grill, washer/dryer, AC and two screened porches near a bar and the beach - what more can you ask for? Also, the beds are pretty comfy as well.
The location is convenient to all the restaurants and has a nice screened in front porch.
The space is larger than we expected. It does not have updated kitchen items, but does have a grill. (no grilling tools) the beds were comfortable, bathrooms are very dated but clean.
We loved this house, and it is also very clean and well located. We strongly suggest, however, that the rental should include linen or at the very least offer a seamless process in renting a linen package.
The rental agreement mentions that the house comes without linen, but we missed it. The maintenance crew was so helpful in providing us with what we needed despite our late arrival time.
We decided to rent again and paid attention to the reservation process online. We were never given the option to rent a linen package. So we called the property manager, Carroll Realty. They were very friendly but could not provide us with the linen package. They gave us the number for the cleaning crew to ask for a package. Once again, we called the crew and once again very friendly people! We reserved our linen package and will mail them a check.
We appreciate how friendly everyone is and the charm of talking to so many of them but it does make for a cumbersome process.
That is the only issue we have with the house and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
During this pandemic, we needed to get away but we had to bring our two Golden Retrievers with us. This house was perfect for our situation. We've rented other houses that accept the dogs on Sullivan's Island and IOP, but this was the best house yet. The entire lot is fenced, so there's lots of room for big dogs to run. We could walk to all the restaurants on the island to dine in or pick up takeout. We had only two concerns about the house: 1) For a beach house, it's really dark. There are very few overhead lights in the living areas of the house. The lamps help, but this house felt really dark to us. 2) The TV doesn't carry local channels. As a traveler, I like to tune in to local views. I was disappointed that we had no access to the local TV channels. Other than those issues, we really enjoyed staying here.

Sullivan's island close to the beach
This is a one block walk to the beach; and a one block walk to Sullivan's Island's commercial strip. Can't beat the location for not needing a car - though you are very aware that you are close to the local bar (even in covid times when everything is much quieter .. lot of shouting in the street and smashing of glass over there,,.) Excellent yard for a dog, and the front porch was perfect.

Great location!
Location couldn’t be better. Minutes to town and to the beach. Accommodations were basic, but fine. Sheets from prior renters were on the porch when we arrived and were never picked up. Management company didn’t answer it return calls- which was disappointing. Despite this, the vacation was wonderful and Sullivan’s is a very special place!
