About this property

Family cottage one block from beach! 25 min from Historical Downtown Charleston

Isle of Palms
Family home- Elizabeth's Cottage

This beach house has been in our family for over 50 years and through 4 generations. We hope you will make amazing memories like we have in this house and on this beach.

The house is located one block from two different beach paths. You can take 21st Ave Beach path or 23rd.
Location is just blocks away from the front beach, restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. A short drive to the marina to grab lunch, fishing supplies, or walk alongside the water. House is 10 minutes to the heart of Mt. Pleasant, 10 minutes to Sullivan's Island, and 25 minutes to Historic Downtown Charleston.

The house can occupy 4 adults and 2 children. There are 2 Queen size beds and 2 twin beds. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, Keurig, plates, silverware, ect. Beach towels and sand toys are provided as you head to the beach for the day.

Our favorite part of the house is relaxing on the screened in porch in the rocking chairs, listening to the ocean or spending quality time with one another on our quiet street. Spend time in the fenced in back yard underneath the beautiful oak tree.

Come see why we love our little slice of paradise at the beach!


*** Rules to remember:
As we want to keep our home in the best condition, please adhere to the following rules: no dogs, no smoking and no parties. This is a family home and it is surrounded by family friends and neighbors.

Relaxing Beach Trip

A perfect beach cottage for a family getaway. The cottage has been nicely updated and is in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the beach. It's about a 30-minute drive to Charleston but feels worlds away from the traffic and congestion.

Very Enjoyable stay. Simply furnished and very clean with both screened and unscreened porches/decks. There was a terrific gas grill we used for steaks from a specialty butcher shop a short walk away. Ceiling fans in every room and porch make it very comfortable too. Very quiet neighborhood so you can sit and rock on the front porch while listening to the surf in the early morning. The washer and dryer were state of the art and greatly appreciated. While my sister slept on the upstairs queen bed and had no complaints, my wife and I found the downstairs matress uncomfortable.

Everything was great. As an FYI, the light fixture in the upstairs closet is not attached to the ceiling by anything other than the wiring. We just blocked it off from the kids but I suspect the wiring will eventually fail and it will fall. It looks like it just needs to be screwed in.

Great location, very clean property!

My family of four recently stayed at this cottage for our summer vacation. The property was very clean and was very conveniently located to the beach (about a 5 minute walk!). In addition, the property came with beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella, all of which came in very handy. Would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a clean, well-located property in Isle of Palms. The property manager was very easy to work with and communication was very fast.

Cozy Cottage

The location of this property was perfect. The walk to the beach took no more than a few minutes. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for my family of four to stay upstairs together and downstairs for my dad. We loved the screened-in-porches because it was so nice to sit outside but not have to worry about any "pesty" insects. We were down for my sister's wedding and Loren was so amazing and flexible to help accommodate our needs for this trip. Great place to stay!!

Great location!

What a great little place! The proximity to the beach and town of Isle of Palms was great! Having a water hose outside to rinse off the sand was perfect. We really appreciated the rental supplying beach chairs as well. We love cooking and prepared most of our meals, so the kitchen could use a few extra tools (I.e. can opener, ladle, spatula), but otherwise very accommodating for three adults and a 3 year old. Loved the little touches like a personalized note and cookies when we arrived!

This was a perfect house for the overflow of our family vacation. With 6 kids, and a few needing to work,we needed more space. The house was comfortable, clean and quiet. We didn't cook there at all, so I cannot comment on the kitchen.

Walkable To Most Everything In IOP

We stay in IOP annually and always try to find a place that is walkable to both the beach and the "center" of town, which is characterized by restaurants and shops and such. This home, while a little older and smaller than some in the area, absolutely checks that box and, being a block off Palm, it's very quiet. This rental is particularly good for one or two families traveling with a couple small kids, as there are two dedicated bedrooms with queen beds (one up and one down) and two twins, both upstairs on the landing. Additionally, the hosts are very hospitable and responsive.

Vacation 2023

We enjoyed our vacation. The house was nice but I didn’t feel like it was actually three bedrooms. There was no privacy for the person in the room upstairs especially with one bed beside the bathroom. Other than that the house was nice and clean. Loved the washer and dryer in the house so much. Not having sandy wet towels and a ton of laundry to do when we got home was awesome.
