Beautiful home in a perfect location. Short stroll to the beach or hang out in the outdoor pool. Close to Charleston and great local restaurants. Communication with owner was great. We had a problem with the grill the 1st day. Owner responded immediately and had a new grill dropped off the following day.

First class experience
We had a great week on IOP staying at Carolina in my Mind. Great communication with the owner and outstanding amenities not usually found in rental homes such as ice machine, beach chairs/wagons, and competition cornhole set (slide rite bags iykyk). There was even a large pot for a seafood boil. The weather was perfect which allowed us to bounce between beach and pool with ease, while enjoying meals with friends and family around a huge table and open living space. Already looking forward to our next visit.

One of the best rental I've ever stayed in
The home was perfect. We had 11 guests and everyone had their own space and bathroom! The house is designed so thoughtfully for large families and so roomy. We cooked a lot of our meals at the house and used the grill multiple times. We ran into a minor sink issue and Marian had a guy out to fix it before we could even get back home. They even had a gift basket ready for me! The house is spotless and the beds were very comfortable. I will say the neighborhood expects you to be VERY QUIET. It's kind of hard to do that if you want to enjoy the pool with 11-12 guests. We had a couple of "stop by's" and it was only 2:30pm. Other than the noise complaints, it was a perfect getaway for our friends.

Beautiful House 10/10
This was our first trip to Isle of Palms and it did not disappoint! The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed, including beach towels, chairs, an umbrella and a cabana. The host was very responsive and check-in was seamless. The location of the house was spectacular and only a block from the beach. The views from our bedroom and the rooftop deck were stunning! We will definitely be staying here next year.
