This house is what I envision with I think of a beach home. I've been going to different beaches for several decades, and this one has the lovely porches, the nice wood paneling, and the amenities that beach homes should have (and some we didn't expect, like Tommy Bahama beach chairs with a rolling rack, a rolling cooler, and beach towels for guests to use). Despite the lovely old beach house charm, this house also has new appliances in the kitchen (dishwasher, stove, refrigerator) and both the kitchen and one of the bathrooms have new faucets and sink hardware. We saw some lumber and paint buckets tucked away under the inside stairs (which used to be the outside stairs, by the looks of it), so the owners are updating the property some as well. The only downside of this material is that it made the bottom floor a bit dim and cluttered in places, but not in the bedrooms or the bath. (That clutter around the stairwell was the only reason we gave the cleanliness of the place four stars instead of five, btw.)
Also, we love the Palm Blvd side of Isle of Palms; we are highly in favor of how the dunes are protected there. The houses have long yards with boardwalks that lead to the beach front, and the dunes are planted with sea oats and other foliage to make sure the dunes stay. Our house, like others, had a deck built on top of the dunes, and one of our favorite pastimes was watching the sunset while enjoying a cool evening breeze.
