We had a great time at this condo. It was within walking distance to the beach. My kids who are 2 and 4 had plenty of room to play inside and out. The condo was clean and Betty was an awesome person to rent from. Would stay there again!

Comfortable and Convenient!

"Out of Pocket" is a very comfortable and well equipped VRBO with everything that you need to enjoy your time on the beach as well as just chilling out at home. Great location relative to the beach and other local spots. Our hosts, Betty Lynn and Chip couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We would definitely recommend this property to others and come back again ourselves!

Great place to stay for a low key weekend! The owners were very helpful and prompt, they live on the top floor. The house was super cute, clean, and well equipped! The only suggestion I would have is a mattress topper in the front bedroom on the full bed- Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Beach Vacation

This was our 3rd stay at Out of Pocket. Chip and BettyLynn are such welcoming, fantastic hosts. We love the house and its location for the beach, the local park, and Charleston. The house has a great outdoor space and chairs and toys to take to the beach. Chip took us out on his boat, which was so fun! They had everything we could need and made us feel like we were at home. We hope to return again next year!

The perfect vacation

We loved our stay. The beach was amazing. No jellyfish. The bedrooms were spacious. The condo was very clean and had all of the supplies we would need for the week. And there were tons of beach items for us to use. A 20 minute drive to downtown Charleston made for nice evenings in town. All in all A+

Clean and close to the beach

This property is adorable! Very close walk to the beach and hosts have everything you could possible need to such as beach chairs, sand toys, kayaks, boogie boards, bikes, and beach towels. The house is super clean and has a washer and dryer. It’s a little tight for 8 people but still had a great time. The outdoor shower was fabulous for getting the sand cleaned off. Betty Lynn was very accommodating and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again!

5 friends looking for a get away

The Out of Pocket house was perfect for this weekend get away!! Literal walking distance from the beach. The space was decorated so cute, just like a beach house, and had a gorgeous outdoor space as well. There's a screen in front porch that we hung out on every night. The hammock was so relaxing to lay on and the back yard fire pit looked incredible. Betty Lynn was so sweet and very easy to communicate with! 10/10 would recommend staying here!!

We loved our stay!

Our family (my wife; 3 kids- age 22, 18, 14) loved our stay at this place! We all vote for a return trip in the near future. Plenty of room and everything we needed for a week long stay. Very peaceful. Beach access is an easy 1 block walk to the beach path. The owners provided everything we needed for the beach- beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc…and a light weight wagon to pull it all to the beach. Grocery store within a mile; shopping and dining options very close as well. It’s a great beach location and also an easy 25-35 minute drive to all of the tourist sites in Charleston.
