About this property

Bird's Eye View #203 1 Bed + Sleeper Dog Friendly

Welcome to Bird’s Eye View, a spacious 1 bedroom Isle of Palms vacation rental with one of the most entertaining balcony views at The Ocean Inn. From your private porch you can watch the activity of island life unfold below. Guests heading to the beach, kids splashing in the pool, bikes and golf carts passing by, and sometimes even music drifting through the air from nearby spots like Coconut Joe’s. If you enjoy people watching and feeling part of the energy of the island, this is a fun place to do it.

This upstairs condo has a unique layout and plenty of natural light. With five windows in the living area and high ceilings, the space feels open and airy. It is larger than many one bedroom condos in the complex, giving you a little extra room to spread out and relax after a day at the beach.

The décor is eclectic and full of personality. Nothing is overly matched or staged, but that is part of the charm. It feels more like staying in someone’s beach home than a cookie cutter rental.

The living room features a queen sleeper sofa, cable TV, and a dining table placed near the window so you can enjoy the view or keep an eye on the activity outside. Pull the table out for extra space if you are playing games, working on puzzles, or gathering around for a casual meal.

The kitchen is compact but efficient, with a slightly elevated layout that reflects the unique history of the building. You will find a full stove and oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, dishes, and everything needed for simple meals or breakfast before the beach. There is no dishwasher, but plenty of towels are provided.

The bedroom includes a queen bed, small TV, and closet space for your belongings.

One design feature to note is the location of the bathroom. It sits just off the entry area rather than inside the bedroom. Many guests actually appreciate this setup since those using the sleeper sofa can access the bathroom without walking through the bedroom.

The condo has two entrances, one near the pool area and one near the balcony side of the building. Coming in from the pool or beach, the bathroom is right inside the door which is convenient for rinsing off or cleaning up without walking through the entire condo.

The Ocean Inn property includes a small pool, two grill areas, free parking, and shared laundry facilities just steps away.

Dog friendly with prior approval. Pet fees apply.

Great location, clean, comfortable

This cute little condo was perfect for my wife, teenage son and me as we were in town for a sports tournament. The condo is equipped with anything you may need for a short stay or week long vacation. Great location to the beach, shops and the pool is literally inches from the door. Parking is convenient. The bed mattress is very firm with little support but we like a firm mattress, so this was not an issue with us, just letting future guests know. All in all, a great little spot for a quick or extended vacation.

IOP stay

Great property and communication with host. Property was clean and great distance to everything. Unit has several stairs which might not be best with someone with a little child. The other issue was several windows had no blinds. If sleeping in living room it was always bright due to outside lights. Make sure you bring a travel shade if you need bedroom to stay dark after sunrise. Overall unit was great and would definitely return to this property.

the best location ever

This is the most convenient location we have ever stayed at. The unit was extremely clean! Here's the issues... The bed is hard. The couch is small and hard. There are numerous stairs throughout the unit. Upon our arrival 30 min early, we were ousted by Debbie Downer the housekeeper who said she had not done her inspection. However instead of just doing the inspection while we waited she locked the door and made us leave until 4 pm check in time? really? Also she locked the door with some of our belongings in the unit! Could have been handled so much easier for everyone... just sayin... because of this we will probably not stay here again.

Nice place, simple and easy

The Ocean Inn has a great location. It is a great option because it is very nice, but it is well price in an expensive area. The other guests were polite and friendly and their children were well behaved.

Perfect birds eye view ❤️

This unit was so awesome! The foyer/ storage area made coming and going to beach so much easier! It also made the unit feel so much bigger! The porch was perfect for coffee and watching the kids in the pool! The unit was very clean and had everything you could need! My 2 kids slept wonderfully in the pull out couch! We have stayed at the Ocean Inn for years and we have enjoyed it every single time! We will never stay anywhere else! The location is the greatest! The communication with the property manager has always been so easy and quick!! Highly recommend!!! If I had to provide something that could be improved…it would be the bed in the master…it could use an upgrade but we did fine on it for 5 days 👍

Great stay!

My husband and I planned a trip to IOP last minute and this condo (dog friendly) was perfect with only a 4 minute walk to the beach! It was also close to a ton of restaurants and shops making our getaway stress free. Beth, the property manager, made the check in and out process as easy as possible. Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Botkin / Dreams N Druthers

Host profile image
Thelma and Siebelt (T&S Properties) managed and lived at The Ocean Inn for many years. They own this condo and two others and are happy to share these vacation spots with their guests. They have tried to anticipate all their guests might need without adding unnecessary clutter. Guests will find this and other condos to be well-stocked and well-maintained. Thelma and Siebelt stay at The Ocean Inn often and always stay in their own properties to ensure they are in touch with what is needed for a fantastic getaway.

Why they chose this property

Why Guests Love This Condo

If you enjoy watching the world go by, this is the spot. The balcony at Bird’s Eye View gives you a front row seat to island life. From here you can watch beachgoers heading down Pavilion Drive, kids splashing in the pool, bikes rolling past, and the general buzz of a beach day unfolding below.

It’s the kind of place where you can sit outside with a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening and just take it all in.

Inside, the condo has plenty of space for a one bedroom and a personality all its own. The decor is eclectic and comfortable, more like visiting a beach home than staying in a perfectly staged rental.

You are also right in the middle of everything. The beach, restaurants, shops, coffee next door, and island favorites are all just a short walk away. It’s an easy place to settle in, relax, and enjoy the rhythm of island life.

And when you feel like venturing out, historic Charleston is just a short drive away for incredible restaurants, history, and sightseeing before returning to the laid back pace of the beach.

What makes this property unique

The Ocean Inn is a small complex of 20 condos that features it’s own pool, free parking, and coined laundry. Just a few steps away from the bottom of the stairs to this SECOND FLOOR end unit is an outdoor seating area with a grill and picnic table. It’s common for the guests or families to congregate for happy hour and throw burgers on the grill. The pool is just a few steps from the bottom of the stairs and can be seen from the windows. When you open your front door, you might hear music coming from the waterfront area and you will definitely feel the beach breezes...but you will definitely appreciate being a half block away. (Staying ocean front isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be…sometimes beach hair DOES care!)
