About this property
High Life on IOP Studio + Sleeper,1 blk to beach,
Welcome to High Life on IOP, a fun and comfortable studio at The Ocean Inn that makes it easy to settle into island life. Located just a short walk from the beach, this studio is a great fit for couples, friends traveling together, or a parent visiting the island with a teen or younger child.
The open layout makes the space feel more flexible than many people expect from a studio. A king bed anchors the room, while a sleeper sofa that was added in January 2026 provides additional sleeping space when needed. The layout works well for couples who want extra room to relax, friends sharing a beach trip, or a small family looking for an easy place to land after a day outside.
A skylight above brings in natural light and adds to the airy feel of the space during the day.
The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with everything needed for simple meals during your stay. You will find a toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, drip coffee maker, regular toaster, and a single burner induction cooktop. Cookware and dishware are provided so you can prepare easy breakfasts or quick meals before heading back out to the beach or the island restaurants nearby.
The bathroom includes a clean tiled walk in shower and plenty of counter space for getting ready for the day or rinsing off after the beach.
One of the most fun features of this condo is the destination sticker wall. Guests from all over have left decals from their hometowns and travels over the years, creating a colorful little tradition inside the condo. If you happen to bring a sticker from home, feel free to add it and become part of the wall.
Just outside the condo you will find a small seating area for two where you can enjoy a quiet morning coffee or relax in the evening after a day on the beach.
The Ocean Inn complex includes a small private pool, two grill areas, free parking, and shared laundry facilities just steps away. Although the condo sits on a quieter side of the property, you are still only a short walk from the beach, restaurants, shops, and island nightlife.
Café Paname is right next door and is a favorite stop for coffee, fresh pastries, and sandwiches made by the owner who moved here from France. You are also just a short walk from local restaurants, beach bars, and the Windjammer where live music is played right on the beach.
If you decide to explore beyond the island, historic downtown Charleston is about a twenty five minute drive away and offers incredible restaurants, history, shopping, and architecture.
High Life on IOP is an easygoing little studio that puts you close to everything while still giving you a comfortable place to relax at the end of the day

Thanks so much for your review! We hope to see you again when your travels bring you back to IOP. B.
The location was perfect for traveling to different areas. Easy access for trip to Charleston. The area offers everything you need. You never have to leave if you don't want too, food, entertainment and ocean all right at your door step. Parking was great, room was beyond clean and stocked. Charming place. Would stay again. Host called day of stay and was as sweet as could be. Thank you :-)

The host was great and communicated with me efficiently. It was clean and had everything we needed. Excellent location with all the amenities.

Ha ha Josh....happy to help. I don't blame your pillow for staying behind - it's hard to leave a great place like this. :-) Glad to have you - come back again soon.
My bff and I loved a long weekend here. Everything was perfect! She slept on the pull-out and said the mattress was thin & uncomfortable…might want to bring something to put on top of the mattress. The little kitchen was wonderful and easy to cook in. Great location near everything

Thank you so much for your kind words—we're thrilled you and your best friend enjoyed your stay and had a great weekend! We appreciate your note about the pull-out sofa. The owners are actually planning to replace it this year but are still in search of the right one that fits both the space and their vision for comfort. Thanks again for your helpful feedback and for staying with us—we’d love to welcome you both back anytime!
The condo was very clean and cozy. A great place for the 3 of us. Close to beach and pool on property!! Isle of Palms is beautiful!! Would highly recommend!
Host was incredibly accommodating! She went above and beyond to meet our needs. The condo was super clean and in a great location. Highly recommend and will definitely rent again when visiting Isle of Palms!
Great property in close proximity to the beach. Less than a 5 minute walk to shops and public beach access. The property is super clean and everyone is extremely nice. The room was very cozy for 2 adults and our 2 dogs with nice added touches including a special treat for our pups. I highly recommend and will definitely stay again
Love it .. close to a lot of restaurants
Everyone around was so friendly 😊
And Beth the Property Manger was Awesome
Thanks again Beth for everything
We will be back..

Ocean Inn is in the absolute perfect location for not being on the beach. It's only a 2-3 minute walk to the public access beach, restaurants, ice cream, and suvenir shops. For restaurants that are not beach-front, the unit is literally across the street (Acme, Sea Biscuit, and Cafe Paname).
The unit was perfectly clean upon our arrival and parking was easy.
We would absolutely, 100% stay here again, and we recommend you stay here, too.
A very cozy place to stay for weekend trip with your family & pup. Property manager was super kind and had great communication. Would recommend this place to friends and family looking for a great location, close to the beach, stores, and restaurants.This location is the perfect walking distance to basically anything you would want to do or need at the beach. We met so many friendly travelers also staying at this location. Definitely will be going back in the future !
The room worked perfectly for us. Very clean. Very short walk to two restaurants. Easy walk to beach which was crowded since it was the start of school vacation week in the area. But easy walk to less crowded area. Easy access to bridge off the island and trip to Charleston/Mt. Pleasant areas. I would consider staying here again.
Provided beach chairs and an umbrella; needed both! Provided coffee but no creamer. Grocery store nearby so my husband ran out to get me milk in the morning. Great contact from host.
I booked this quickly and did little research, as such, I was a little nervous. There was an event on the island that occurred before our stay. I couldn’t have felt more safe and had an amazing getaway. I have a wife and two daughters (5 & 9) who didn’t mind the quick walk to the beach. The municipal complex across the road (safety). A little coffee shop behind the complex (delicious coffee and croissants). The place is in a great location and everyone was laid back. If you need anything, the property manager was very responsive and absolutely wonderful for our stay. The place is great, but should anything go wrong - they’re phenomenal! Wonderful getaway trip! We’ll be back!
This condo exceeded all our expectations!!!! The place was beautiful and clean and up to date. Having beach chairs come with the place was amazing and the very short walk to the beach was incredible! The ocean inn is right beside where municipal parking is for the beach so you are as close to the beach is for everyone driving into the beach. The beach itself was beautiful, clean, serene, filled with families with small kids or people with dogs - it was amazing! The condo itself was decorated so nice! It was just my daughter and me but my son could have easily stayed too on the pull out couch. The bed is huge and so comfortable and the bath and kitchenette are so nice! This place is really close to a Harris teeter too which was perfect for getting groceries the first night. Everyone else staying in the ocean inn was quiet and kind. I couldn’t have been happier!!! Highly highly recommend this beautiful condo and we’ll definitely be back. Beth was super helpful when I called about check in but she’d already sent wonderful instructions via email. You’ll love it !!
Wonderful condo, perfect location close to shopping, restaurants, and most importantly the BEACH. Barely used the car . I can't wait to stay at Ocean Inn again.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Botkin / Dreams N Druthers
This property is owned by a lovely couple who reside here on the island. They have loved this condo for 15 years. It has been meticulously cared for and is well-equipped. The owners are looking forward to sharing their little slice of the High Life with you!
Why they chose this property
High Life on IOP is a great choice for guests who want to be close to the energy of the island while still having a comfortable place to relax at the end of the day. The location makes it easy to walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, and live music without needing to drive everywhere.
The studio layout is more versatile than many guests expect. The king bed and sleeper sofa make it comfortable for couples, friends traveling together, or a parent visiting with a teen or younger child.
The destination sticker wall has also become a fun tradition in the condo. Guests from all over have left decals from their hometowns, slowly turning the wall into a colorful collection of memories.
During the quieter months, this studio can also be a great option for guests looking to spend a longer winter stay on the island when the beaches are peaceful and the pace of life slows down
What makes this property unique
Location, location location! Each property in the complex is individually owned and has it's own individual personality and flare. From this location you will be so close to everything you may not need to use the car after you park it. The beach, county park, restaurants, nightlife, spas, rental shops, and even the grocery store are all within comfortable walking distances.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
