Super clean property. Easy check in process with Island Realty (even after we had a 5 hour delay in traffic - they just put the code and parking passes in a lockbox for us). The property is exactly as advertised. It's about a 10 minute walk to the beach which is awesome. We parked our boat at the nearby IOP Marina so we only used this public access beach 2x.
My only tiny complaint is that, although we were incredibly comfortable at the property, it felt as if we were staying in someone else's home. It was very clearly a WFH and remote school quarantine location for the owner. Desks with crayon marks were in every room, pictures of the family, homework on the fridge. I can't REALLY complain - it's their house. But, for a vacation rental, it was a little awkward. Also, they didn't advertise beach wagon/beach chairs/etc. in the listing - so no surprises - but the garage door is locked and has a glass door and you can see that all of that stuff is locked in the garage. It would be a HUGE addition to allow access to that beach stuff. We usually expect it when we rent beach houses so we only brought two chairs with us.
Again, no complaints just suggestions for improvements. This is our 5th time in Charleston, 2nd rental house on IOP. We love it! It's more crowded than we prefer (the island/the neighborhood), but the access to the marina and Charleston makes it worth the traffic/people on the island.
