About this property

#109 Heart of IOP 1st Fl Studio @ Ocean Inn

A block from the beach access. No view but so convenient!! Perfect for small families, girls' weekends, or a couple's getaway, this cute condo located at the Ocean Inn on Isle of Palms, is privately owned and maintained. It is nicely appointed with all you might need for a relaxing stay at the beach that won't break the bank. Don't think of it as a condo at the beach - think of it as our 'guest room', fixed up for you with all that you need for a great get-away.

What's inside:
This large STUDIO condo sleeps 3 with 1 King-sized bed (Black Label Simmons Beautyrest) and one full-sized convertible bed (futon), both in the sleeping area. There is no door to the sleeping area. * Please note that this is a downstairs unit and it is likely you will hear floor noise from upstairs. Guests upstairs are asked to be mindful of activities that might create disturbance below. *

There is one full bathroom with shower.

Kitchen has a convection-microwave for quick microwaving that can also be used for REAL OVEN BAKING for pizza, cookies, casseroles, etc. There is a drip-style coffee maker, "SINGLE-BURNER" NuWave induction cook-top with essential pots and pans to use with it, toaster, dishwasher (a big plus!!) and refrigerator with freezer. There is a full complement of dishes, drink ware, silverware, pots, pans, utensils. There are utensils for the grill as well. There is no full-sized "oven/stove" per se, but there are small appliances to fulfill needs for scrambling eggs or baking a lasagne.

The dining table seats 2 or 4. (There are extra bench seats in the condo.) Wall-mounted flat screen TV can be adjusted and seen from the bedroom or dining area.

You are welcome to use the beach equipment that lives in the closet.

What's outside:

The Ocean Inn features a private pool, free parking (a commodity on the island!), and coined laundry facilities which happen to be conveniently located a few doors down from our condo. Just 20 steps away is an outdoor seating area with a grill and picnic table where it is common for guests to congregate for happy hour and burgers on the grill. This is a great spot in the complex where neighboring guests become friends, often returning year after year. The pool is on the other side of the building so when there is pool noise, you won't hear it. (An added bonus!!) When you open your front door, you might hear music coming from the beach front area, but you won't appreciate being a half block away until you go around the corner and the music gets louder! Staying ocean front isn't always what it's cracked up to be – there is a reason why there is a city-wide 10pm noise ordinance. It will be nice and quiet here.

Best of all:
The furriest member of the family doesn't have to miss out on all the fun! Dogs only -PLEASE PREAPPROVE PETS OVER 20# - SOME LARGER DOG BREEDS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Reservation will be cancelled if not able to host your pet. Pet fees are according to weight and are required for your pooch to stay. Fee is added on as an extra guest fee. There is a vet clinic right down the street plus an emergency clinic and pet stores in Mt Pleasant for all your pup's needs.

If you are not traveling with Rover, have no fear - our place is well-maintained and will not have any tell-tale signs of animals ever curling up to sleep here.

Best beach rental ever

We’ve stayed at many beach rentals large and small, and this by far takes the cake as the best. It’s not a huge space, but everything is so well thought out with decorations, utilities, gear, hooks, supplies, you name it. The space also had so much character, and it was so easy to feel right at home. The property is conveniently located next to everything you possibly would need either by a short walk or drive to the grocery store. Our host was also very communicative throughout the process. I actually left an important item in my unit, and our host messaged me about it so I could come back to retrieve it before I was too far gone. Would absolutely recommend this gem to anyone and hope to come back one day.

Very clean and well decorated

The cleanest place I think I've ever stayed at when I've gone to the beach. We had a great week! Close to plenty of fun stuff to do in town and just a short walk to the ocean. The crunelles were very friendly and good to work with.

Cute small space

The property was cute, super clean, and there we a lot of extra touches. It was a bit small for us as we like more of a sitting space, but for a younger couple it would be prefect and just enough. There is a pool and a laundry room too. Super close to the beach and several restaurants. Great location.

The location is awesome, very convenient to dining, shops, BEACH, and the Connector. This is like our home away from home when we travel to IOP. Highly recommend! Jack, Jeanne and Roux T.

Beautiful clean condo very close to beach!

We couldn't have been more comfortable in this condo! It had absolutely everything you need to start your vacation. Not to mention how charming and adorable the decor was. We hated to leave and will definitely be back. Owner Beth is very responsive to anything you need. You won't regret renting this one!

Perfect for a single traveler

This property has great amenities, and is within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. I can personally recommend Cafe Paname and Acme Lowcountry Kitchen. Beth was amazing and quick to respond when I had a question or concern. Which was especially important since my stay corresponded with a winter storm. I highly recommend this rental.

Perfect for a couple's getaway

My husband and I stayed at this condo for our last vacation together without kids (currently 7 months pregnant). It was the perfect size for us, the kitchen was well-appointed and nicely redone, the condo was spotless and had everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and all the new appliances in the kitchen worked great- we used them a lot while there. It's also a great location close to the beach, Mt. Pleasant, and downtown Charleston. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay on Isle of Palms!

Just right

Our family of four loved this condo. It’s simple and small which is all we need as we spend most of our time doing activities outside and exploring. Very clean (I’m super picky) and lots of attention to detail. The location is awesome!!! Right in the heart of IOP and can walk everywhere saving much hastle, time and money allowing you to get the full beach bum vibe. The pool is perfect for kids because the deep end is 5.5 feet. If we visit again we’ll def stay here!

Perfect Get Away!

We rented this unit for four days just to get away from the snow up north. Our initial concern, while choosing this rental over the internet, was the size of the unit. We thought, the price was right and if the unit felt too tight, we could use the unit just as a sleeping spot. As we walked into the unit though, my husband and I felt right at home. The décor is charming, the unit is so clean and the bed was so cozy and perfect. This owner absolutely thought of everything and there is a picture of a kitchen renovation which sounds like it is going to happen sometime this month. Lucky you to enjoy this additional upgrade. Based on our experience, this is definitely a place we would visit again!

Charming condo steps from the beach

We had such a nice time during our 4 1/2 day vacation at Isle of the Palms. The condo was the perfect size for two people and our dog. The pool was very small. We had some rainy weather and were comfortable staying in watching movies and reading. During the sunny times, The beach cart and chairs were nice to have. We also appreciated the necessities like trash bags, dishwasher detergent, salt, pepper, and cooking spray being available for our use. Beth was readily available to answer questions via text and offered to stop over and meet us while she was on property but we were out of the area. The condo and the entire was very dog friendly. We would love to come back and visit again next summer. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful get away with easy beach access, close to shops & restaurants, but away from hustle & bustle.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Botkin / Dreams N Druthers

Host profile image
Owners are a small family of 4 and live right across the bridge in Mt Pleasant. They wanted to have a place for out of town family to stay and offer it for others to enjoy when it is available. They're thrilled to have you!

Why they chose this property

We love this complex in particular because, although there are several rental units, there are folks who live here full time. It is well maintained by our management company as well as the year-round residents who all take great pride in the property. Each unit is individually owned and we manage our own so we can offer a personal touch to your accommodations. We really do treat our place as our guest suite - and we will treat you as our guest as well. We want you to feel welcome and comfortable.

The Isle of Palms is a wonderful beach destination that is unlike any other. There is an interesting mix of building styles that date back to way before Hurricane Hugo came through and devastated the island in 1989. We like the mix of old and new, and we LOVE that it is not as commercial as it is on other parts of the coast. The food on the island is some of the best in Charleston so while you might want to venture into the City for sightseeing and shopping, you can find a great meal right here on the island every night of your stay, many within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

You don't have to drive anywhere - you can hang up your keys when you arrive and never move your car until it's time to go home. You will find great food everywhere around you - pizza, seafood, burgers, gourmet, bar food, you name it. The best breakfast spots on the island (where the locals eat) are just a 3-minute walk. It's almost like being at a B&B except that you probably won't go to breakfast in your robe.....not that you couldn't, mind you....some go in their beach cover up, so hey....why not??
