Our beautiful home is located in the NO WAKE ZONE on the Intercoastal Waterway! In front you will find our boat dock ready for your arrival, for days of fishing and taking in the views after all of your boating adventures. A charming southern porch overlooks a wide spacious and playful front yard with views of Isle of Palms and all the passing boats. Behind our home is a large back yard and a tropical path that will lead you to the Grey Bay, where you can wade in the high tide, splash, fish, or float! When the timely tide recedes, walk, run, and play on the private beach behind Goat Island. The tide changes every six hours+/- !!! Our home features SUNRISES out front! - SUNSETS out back!

You will NEED a BOAT to get here! Dock your boat right out front of your vacation home! If you do not have a boat, no worries! We will provide transportation to the island for your arrival and back to the mainland upon check out. You are also welcome to rent a boat from the Isle of Palms Marina which is a VERY short boat ride away. You will need to arrange parking at the Isle of Palms Marina upon your arrival as well.

Our home is fully equipped for your vacation retreat. Outdoor Grill- Outdoor fryer-Outdoor tables are available for your use both on the front porch and out on the dock!

As you walk up the steps you'll be welcomed by our large front porch with a lazy porch swing and several rockers to enjoy the coastal breezes. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the birds and the sun rising over the intercoastal or take a nap to the sounds of the water.

The large pantry comes in handy for those long stays on the island. Make frozen drinks in the blender and sip Pina Coladas on your private dock while watching the dolphin swim past. If you feel like truly embracing the Lowcountry life then use the large steamer pot for Lowcountry Shrimp Boils in the Spring and Summer months or grab a few bushels of local Oysters and have your very own Oyster Roast to keep you warm in the winter.

There are three bedrooms on the second floor including the master suite with your very own full bath. Wake up to the sunrise over the intercoastal right from your queen sized bed in one of the two front bedrooms. Feel like sleeping in? Choose to stay in the Pelican Room and look out over the only road on Goat Island, don't expect to see any cars though, only neighbors out for some morning exercise. The fourth bedroom is on the third floor all by itself and is the perfect place to take in some of the most beautiful views in all of Charleston! The upper bedroom or belvedere as some call it, consists of a daybed with a pull-out trundle, a small TV for those rainy days and a roof deck with chairs for sunning by day and STARGAZING by night!! There is a studio area on the second floor that also has a twin trundle bed and is a great area for a kids sleepover!
