About this property

Family cottage one block from beach! 25 min from Historical Downtown Charleston

Isle of Palms
Family home- Elizabeth's Cottage

This beach house has been in our family for over 50 years and through 4 generations. We hope you will make amazing memories like we have in this house and on this beach.

The house is located one block from two different beach paths. You can take 21st Ave Beach path or 23rd.
Location is just blocks away from the front beach, restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. A short drive to the marina to grab lunch, fishing supplies, or walk alongside the water. House is 10 minutes to the heart of Mt. Pleasant, 10 minutes to Sullivan's Island, and 25 minutes to Historic Downtown Charleston.

The house can occupy 4 adults and 2 children. There are 2 Queen size beds and 2 twin beds. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, Keurig, plates, silverware, ect. Beach towels and sand toys are provided as you head to the beach for the day.

Our favorite part of the house is relaxing on the screened in porch in the rocking chairs, listening to the ocean or spending quality time with one another on our quiet street. Spend time in the fenced in back yard underneath the beautiful oak tree.

Come see why we love our little slice of paradise at the beach!


*** Rules to remember:
As we want to keep our home in the best condition, please adhere to the following rules: no dogs, no smoking and no parties. This is a family home and it is surrounded by family friends and neighbors.

Everything was great. As an FYI, the light fixture in the upstairs closet is not attached to the ceiling by anything other than the wiring. We just blocked it off from the kids but I suspect the wiring will eventually fail and it will fall. It looks like it just needs to be screwed in.

Great location, very clean property!

My family of four recently stayed at this cottage for our summer vacation. The property was very clean and was very conveniently located to the beach (about a 5 minute walk!). In addition, the property came with beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella, all of which came in very handy. Would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a clean, well-located property in Isle of Palms. The property manager was very easy to work with and communication was very fast.

Great location!

What a great little place! The proximity to the beach and town of Isle of Palms was great! Having a water hose outside to rinse off the sand was perfect. We really appreciated the rental supplying beach chairs as well. We love cooking and prepared most of our meals, so the kitchen could use a few extra tools (I.e. can opener, ladle, spatula), but otherwise very accommodating for three adults and a 3 year old. Loved the little touches like a personalized note and cookies when we arrived!

Cozy Cottage

The location of this property was perfect. The walk to the beach took no more than a few minutes. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for my family of four to stay upstairs together and downstairs for my dad. We loved the screened-in-porches because it was so nice to sit outside but not have to worry about any "pesty" insects. We were down for my sister's wedding and Loren was so amazing and flexible to help accommodate our needs for this trip. Great place to stay!!

Walkable To Most Everything In IOP

We stay in IOP annually and always try to find a place that is walkable to both the beach and the "center" of town, which is characterized by restaurants and shops and such. This home, while a little older and smaller than some in the area, absolutely checks that box and, being a block off Palm, it's very quiet. This rental is particularly good for one or two families traveling with a couple small kids, as there are two dedicated bedrooms with queen beds (one up and one down) and two twins, both upstairs on the landing. Additionally, the hosts are very hospitable and responsive.

Very Enjoyable stay. Simply furnished and very clean with both screened and unscreened porches/decks. There was a terrific gas grill we used for steaks from a specialty butcher shop a short walk away. Ceiling fans in every room and porch make it very comfortable too. Very quiet neighborhood so you can sit and rock on the front porch while listening to the surf in the early morning. The washer and dryer were state of the art and greatly appreciated. While my sister slept on the upstairs queen bed and had no complaints, my wife and I found the downstairs matress uncomfortable.

Warm and friendly home. Very easy check in and great communication from the owner. Everything was clean and tidy with very close access to the beach. This place was perfect for us to catch up around the kitchen table and share many laughs. We all had a great time.

A place of Quiet Retreat

Thanksgiving week vacation with siblings. My husband and I rented this house to accommodate my brother and his wife and my younger brother for the Thanksgiving holidays. We really enjoyed the porches, the location is just as stated a 2 minute walk to the beach . The grocery store is a 5 minute drive and there are restaurants in that shopping center. one can walk the neighborhood and enjoy the beauty of the palm trees and massive Oak trees.. The house is small but very well equipped with all the necessities to make your arrival and stay very nice. The porches were where we spent alot of time. The weather was great for our stay. The Host was exceptional. He communicated regularly and was very accommodating. Overall we will consider staying there again.
