Rustic Beach Retreat — 100 Yards from Beach— Dogs Welcome!

You can hear the ocean from this excellent island location that's just a 100 yard walk down a dead-end street that ends at the beach! The entire ground floor of the home is where you’ll be. The space is cool as an oasis with tiled floors offset by the warmth of vintage California redwood paneling and exposed brick walls. It's not updated and decked out with all the latest gadgets or appliances and is very simplistic, rustic, and kind of quirky. To offset what it’s lacking, it does have a great beach-y vibe and a primo location. *NOTE: There is no washer /dryer. You will only have access to the ground floor of house.
The space is suitable for 2 people, or 3 if the third person wants to sleep on a small couch, or you're welcome to bring a blow-up mattress – there is ample room for one. (see photos). It has an open floor plan with a queen bed, small primitive kitchen with an adjacent little sunny sitting room, and a windowless bathroom with a tiled shower and a large cedar lined closet area to store your bags.

**Guests do not have access to AC/Heat controls. This house is equipped with a geo-thermal unit. If you desire a certain temp, please let us know and we will adjust the thermostat to your desire. However being an older home located in a subtropical climate, it’s never going to be 65 degrees inside during the summer months.
The property was once a huge sand dune. It is very shady with lots of live oaks and palm trees and has wild, unkempt vegetation everywhere – there is no manicured lawn here. (FYI: this is what this end of Isle of Palms looked like before it was developed with all the houses and their unnatural manicured lawns). We have chosen to have a sustainable yard – no watering required – and provide an ecological oasis for native plants and animals. If you're lucky, you will see the small herd of white tail deer that call a corner of the yard home. PLEASE NOTE: We are surrounded by lots of trees and unkempt vegetation; therefore, there is not a lot of natural light on the ground floor, so it may be too dark inside for some people’s taste. We have ample lighting and lamps throughout to compensate for the lack of natural light coming through the windows and doors. However, this can be beneficial especially during the hot summer months after being out on the beach all day.
So, if what you’re looking for is a place with all the bells and whistles of a newly renovated home or an airy light-filled modern beach house with all the latest appliances and perks, please look elsewhere – you’re not going to be happy here. We want our guests to be happy and comfortable during their stay and enjoy their time in our ocean playground.
**FYI: there is no dishwasher. And the washer/dryer in the apartment do not work. If you need to do laundry, there is an IOP Laundromat about 2.5 miles away in the Harris Teeter shopping center.
