Very pleased overall...the location was perfect, front porch was very relaxing. Backyard deck and pool area were excellent. Beds were the most comfortable we have had in a rental. Showers had good water pressure. Loved the retro kitchen sink! Kitchen countertops and cabinets desperately need replacing, they are sticky and worn.The house needs a very good DEEP cleaning. There is dust on the shiplapp walls inside, and dust coated on the light fixtures. We love the vintage feel of the house, but it needs to be cleaned. AC was not working when we arrived, but the staff sent a repair guy promptly and the rooms were cooled by bedtime. We would definitely stay here again, just hoping it will be cleaner next time.

We adored this historic beach house, so close to the ocean. The big front porch was welcoming, the back deck added more options for enjoying the beautiful weather. We love historic places and the beautiful wood interior was very cozy. It was so comfortable and also had modern conveniences of dishwasher, washer/dryer, etc. The management company was super responsive for any questions we had and very friendly. Thank you for sharing this special place! We look forward to visiting again!

Staying in 409 Ocean is a trip back in time. A lovely screened in front porch and great rear deck. Well stocked. Good mattresses,Fabulous location.the only reservation was that the windows in the bedrooms were very difficult to open.this may have been a winter to spring transition. And the late 4pm check in time means you have to deal with things on your own the first night. In sum good house, great location,fun as long as you have the right expectations when you check in.

House is lovely “old beach house”! It’s well-kept, beautifully furnished, including comfy beds. It was perfect for our family of 6. Close to beach! Great pool in back yard. Screened front porch is addictive.

Rental company was easy to work with. They were responsive to any small needs or minor repairs.

Our vacation was perfect!! This cute home was across the street from ocean was exactly what we needed. Porch gave place to listen to ocean and have coffee and we even had chicks getting ready to leave the nest just outside! Close enough to Charleston for fun stuff to do! We rented a golf cart to toddle around our neighborhoods or quick run local stores/shops and dinner! Thank you for sharing your home with us, it was amazing!

We had a great week at Ocean Blvd 409. The house is in a great location and was clean. We knew it was an older home prior to arrival so we expected that. It definitely could use some updating, especially to the kitchen and baths, but overall we were pleased and got exactly what was explained to us. It was comfortable and we enjoyed the deck and screen porch. The pool was extremely cold and not usable this time of year, so that was very disappointing to our kids. (no heater) Cooper was excellent to work with and I would not hesitate to book with this company again.

We enjoyed our stay here....great location, right across from a beach access. Our favorite part was the backyard and pool! It's a cozy, neat home. Nothing modern here but had everything we needed and was neat and clean - just old but well maintained. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Rental house was fantastic.
Rental key pick up was not good as usual. This was our 2nd time with your company. However the previous time was a 2 hr wait time, this one was 20 min. 20 min is too long. Why the keys can't be ready on time is hard to understand.

This cottage is...unusual. It's both charming and fusty. It was built in 1938, and looks it. Every surface of the interior--ceilings, floors, doors, and cabinets--is varnished wood. I don't
think the floors have been refinished since the place was built. So, it's dark and man-cave
like. Most of the furnishings appear to be from Goodwill. Think of this cottage as the "un-condo". If you're looking for crisp white walls and up-tempo decor, this is not your place. It feels like a cabin in the North Woods. Think: Shabby Chic/Goth.

Now, the good news. The beds are some of the best I've slept in, anywhere: firm, and comfortable. The bathrooms were updated in the mid-90's, but are clean and functional. The kitchen appliances are relatively new and top of the line. And, the kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, pans, etc.

The pool in the backyard is stunning, recently built, and perfect for young children. The bar-b-q grill is top of the line.

The bad news: The kitchen cabinets and counter tops are old, and made of faded, varnished wood. The "charming" twin sink is circa 1926, has no disposal. is rusty inside, and should be torn out and destroyed. The plywood counter tops are a health hazard (salmonella anyone?). Did I miss the bed covers and pillows? "Fusty" would be an understatement.

The exterior needs a paint job--every square inch of it--and some much needed repair due to deterioration and rot.

There is no ocean view, as two McMansions have just been built across the street. You can hear the ocean, you just can't see it. "Across the street from beach" is misleading.

This place screams "teardown". Unless you enjoy a certain kind of "charm".

Overall, on a good day, a solid 6.2 on a 10.0 scale.

We've stayed at this rental property previously and have always enjoyed it. Very quaint and in a great location. Our only issue is that the propane tank for the gas grill was empty. We've actually had this same issue with almost every property we've rented through Island Realty.

We stayed here for the winter and loved it. The beach is literally across the street! Walk to the beach several times a day. The home was quaint and historic. The front and back porches made excellent extensions to the living space to enjoy the weather outside. The pool and backyard living area was great for bbqs, chilling and outdoor fun. We really had a great timethe Casita De Palma!

Our stay was, for the most part, wonderful! The cabin was shabby chic clean and comfy. The pool was beautiful, although not heated, and all we could do is look at it. The porches were adorable. The down side is workmen showing up to replace the siding as we were finishing up our stay. They left when I complained. Also they needed to tell us that the keys open the back door. Made for confusion as we tried to enter. Overall I give the cabin a 8.5 for unique and comfortable.

Our family loved this house! My mother called it the Ernest Hemingway house! Very rustic/ shabby chic! The home came equipped with most everything you would need. Just bring your clothes and food! The pool was great! There were even bikes which my dad used for a ride on the beach!! The front porch was a great place to sit in the evening! They could use a new refrigerator. We had to use a chair propped up against it to keep the door closed tight and it was leaking-probably the ice maker! Other than that-it is a perfect beach home!! We will be back!!

The house was cute and atmospheric. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings watching the ocean and the back yard with pool was a great addition. We stayed right after the big storm and though the yard was flooded and we were offered another property-we stayed and used a gangway they provided. We enjoyed the property immensely and would stay again.
