Spacious 5+ Bedroom House Near Beach! On beach access path! SUMMERTIME FUN!

Find your escape on the Isle of Palms! Come and enjoy your stay at 16-55th Avenue, located outside of the gates of Wild Dunes, on the Isle of Palms, South Carolina! 16-55th Avenue has a total of five bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a sunporch with an additional queen bed to provide extra sleeping space. The beach house's 3,200 square feet comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests plus unlimited children under the age of three.

The close proximity to the beach allows for easy access to the beach. The beach access path is located directly off the back yard and enables you to quickly walk to and from the beach, without crossing any streets! After returning from the beach, you can rinse off in the outside showers underneath the house.

The beach house's plentiful porch spaces offer inviting spaces to relax and visit. The beach house has a front porch, wrap-around porch, screened-in porch, and a second level sunning deck. At nighttime, the sunning deck turns into the perfect place to soak up the evening breeze and listen to tranquil ocean sounds or for stargazing.

The kitchen is fully furnished with cooking supplies. The kitchen has two full-sized refrigerators to offer plenty of space for cold drinks and food. A Keurig machine and a regular coffee pot are provided for coffee lovers.

The kitchen center island comfortably seats four, and the kitchen table seats an additional four. The dining room adjacent to the kitchen seats an additional eight.

The large living room with two-story, cathedral ceilings is the focal point of the house. It is the best place for family gatherings or just to hang out. The living room has two leather sofas.

A wet bar with wine glasses is conveniently located in the living room. The house has large TVs throughout and provides cable and Wi-Fi internet access.

Beautiful Beach Vacation
My husband and I treated our adult children and their spouses and our grandchildren to an amazing beach vacation. The home was just a short walk to the fantastic beach and ocean waves The shelling was magnificent! The house was perfect for our group. We all had lovely rooms with comfortable beds. I hope to return to this heavenly spot again soon!

Isle of Palms great stay
Everything was exceptional. It is great proximity to the beach, only 100 yds away and walking distance to Wild Dunes resort wedding facilities. There was 7 of us and we were very comfortable in a very functional and pleasant setting. The host was also very exceptional in being very intentional in communicating to us to make sure our stay was great.

Loved this house!
Absolutely loved everything about this place. The house was spacious and the layout was perfect for a big family. It had such a comfortable vibe. Big rooms, nice beds, plenty of recliner space for afternoon naps and a lovely screened porch with cool ocean breezes. Kitchen had all you need for big meals and the second fridge helped. Location on the island was great. It seemed secluded, even though house faces one of the main streets. Good size backyard next to beach access path. Low key beach, not far. Exactly what we wanted! Good communication during booking and before check-in. Thanks!

Large house, great location
We stayed for a week with our adult children and our grandkids. Everyone had plenty of space for sleeping & great common spaces as well. The proximity to the beach was perfect- a short walk through the side yard. The house had not been updated in a while, but that did not impact our enjoyment of the home. The house is located in a nice, quiet residential area of IOP. We highly recommend renting bikes and beach equipment from Carolina Bike& Beach.

Perfect vacation destination
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It was really close to the beach, the house had tons of room, super comfortable beds, and a very well-equipped kitchen with two refrigerators. The area where the house is located seemed quiet and not at all crowded so the entire week was peaceful and relaxing. If we go back to IOP for next spring break 2024 I hope this house will be available again.

Great Week in IOP
Large house absorbed our party of 12 easily. Separate bedroom spaces allowed some to sleep in late without disruption. Great kitchen and living spaces for hanging out, playing games, etc. Loved the two refrigerators in the kitchen. Quick walk to the wide, uncrowded beach for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Plenty of parking.

Paradise on the Isle of Palms
This is such a fabulous place to stay! It’s a huge house with all the amenities you would ever need to feel at home and enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We stayed in this beautiful VRBO home for an entire month, while relocating to the area.. Communication with the host was always pleasant and enjoyable. She went out of her way to make sure every single need was met. Walk to the beach without having to cross the street. You are steps away from having sand in between your toes. Would love to stay here again and will definitely recommend to friends and family visiting from outside the Charleston area!

Roomy home
The size of the house suited us perfectly. We had 2 elderly couples and only one step in shower. In the upstairs master bath there was a tub with shower but no grab bars. It was difficult for one of the couples staying in this room. Also none of the toilets were comfort height. That was especially hard for one elderly man. The house was fairly clean but really needs a deep clean. There were cobwebs going up the kitchen window and the window sill was very dusty and littered. We had a problem with one tub downstairs that did not drain well. The property owner was going to look in to that. We had a dog and paid the pet fee of $325 but the web site says the pet fee is $175. I brought this to the attention of the owner and it was supposed to be changed on the web site but has not. This would be a great place for younger people but is not quite suitable for the elderly.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello there! I'm Laura Cook, and my mom, Carolyn Cook, and I have managed our lovely beach house for many years. Please contact us so that we can assist you with your next dream vacation. Let's get started.

Why they chose this property

Our home is a well-loved, comfortable and FUN place to hang out and enjoy the beach. Our family built the home in 1987 and has owned and rented it to guests ever since. As any older house would, it does show some "love," but is comfortable and uniquely located adjacent to a beach access path. Guests love how easy and quick it is to walk back and forth to the beach.
