Steps to Isle of Palms Beach w/ Porch Dining, Outdoor Shower & Open Living
Welcome to Sea Haven by AvantStay!
Just steps from the shimmering shores of Isle of Palms, Sea Haven is a bright, coastal escape designed for effortless beachside living. Nestled among swaying palms and serene island streets, this home offers the perfect balance of relaxation and connection—close to the beach, yet tucked away enough to unwind in peace.
Inside, sunlight pours through large windows into an inviting living space where soft, neutral tones and natural textures create a sense of calm. The spacious living room features plush seating, a large TV, and a cozy fireplace for family gatherings, while a nearby breakfast table for four is perfect for morning coffee or casual bites. The chef’s kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and bar seating for three, opening into a welcoming dining area for six.
Five comfortable bedrooms—each styled with light coastal touches—ensure everyone has a place to rest. Three bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms for added privacy, and the bunk room is a hit with kids and teens alike. With an elevator, washer/dryer, and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, convenience meets charm at every turn.
Step outside to your covered lounge, where an eight-person dining table invites sunset dinners in the ocean breeze. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after a beach day, then relax on the porch surrounded by the sounds of rustling palms and distant waves.
Located moments from the sand, Sea Haven places you within easy reach of Isle of Palms Marina, Wild Dunes Resort golf courses, and the vibrant shops and dining of nearby Sullivan’s Island and Mount Pleasant. Whether you’re here for a family vacation, a beach getaway with friends, or simply to breathe in the coastal air, this is your island sanctuary.
AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.

Just off the coast of Historic Charleston, Isle of Palms offers a stunning six-mile stretch of white, sandy beaches. Spend the day chartering a boat and paddleboarding in the Atlantic, or explore the extensive wildlife within the area's marshes and creeks. Isle of Palms is also the perfect place to decompress, with renowned spas, charming restaurants, and sweeping golf courses. All this and more await you in the jewel of South Carolina's Lowcountry.

This home exceeded our expectations! Beautifully decorated and very comfortable fit for our group of 8 adults 3 kids. We loved the back enclosed porch and spent lots of morning hours there - the location is just 1 1/2 blocks from the beach in a very charming neighborhood and short drive from Charleston as well as neighboring Sullivan's Island. We really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this home!

It was a nice home. Our family really enjoyed it. A few things that need improvements are the cleanliness of the inside and outside. Bring some pyrex containers for left overs or cut fruit. There were a few there. Bedrooms were great. There are 2 kings beds that are private and are very nice. The 3rd king bedroom isn't private. You have to walk through it to get to the bunk room. It worked for us because we put the teenagers down there and they didn't care. The two sets of washers and dryers were nice to have. Walk to the beach is short but we were there during a very hot week and it was a little rough for older people. We loved Isle of Palms and plan to go back.

We had a lovely time on our beach vacation! The house was clean and ready for us at the appointed time. We noticed a few light bulbs were burned out in several places, ones you would not notice in the daytime, and notified our host; they were replaced for us the next morning. We loved the screened-in porch!! Location is perfect - about a block to the beach. Found that the beach access on 42nd Street was easier as we could pull our beach wagon farther on a "sidewalk" surface across the sand. Ample beach towels were provided. The two refrigerators (entry level and kitchen) were great for our 6 adults and 4 children needs. Definitely recommend both the beach house and the location!

Awesome IOP House!
We were looking for a house for 10 adults to celebrate Memorial Day weekend, and we found a great one. Convenient location - two minute walk to the beach, and very close to Wild Dunes and the marina - yet off the main Palm Blvd heavy traffic street. Beds were all super comfortable, and kitchen / den area on main floor was spacious and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed, and two refrigerators and two washer/dryers made our stay really easy. Thanks for an awesome stay!!!

Such a great weekend
We had a great weekend in IOP! The interior of the house is stunning and so spacious. The beds were very comfortable and all the rooms were clean. The outdoor area under the deck was not usable- it was covered in dirt and leaves but the covered deck was amazing. The bunk room is attached to the ground floor primary bedroom. Just an FYI if you are traveling with all adults.

Nice Property. Bedroom count in misleading
To be clear. The house was clean. Location was great. Beds and linens were comfortable. Here is the unclear part of the listing description. It is NOT a 5 bedroom. It is a 4 bedroom with a bunk room inside a HUGE closet in 1 of the bedrooms. We have 8 adults and this became an issue when adults were cutting through the bedroom of other adults. We rented assuming all necessary parties would have a dedicated bathroom. The listing clearly states there is a separate bunk room as it s own bedroom with a shared bathroom. Untrue. It is a bunkroom in the huge closet of a 4th master bedroom using the bathroom of that bedroom. I believe a bedroom by legal standards needs to include an egress window and a closet. This has neither. It has a tiny small window at the ceiling. I would have given 5 stars for the rest of the house. I wanted others to be aware of the inaccuracy of the wording in the listing.

Wonderful near-beach neighborhood
This is a wonderfyl, just off the beach (2 min walk) from the wonderfyl IOP beach. The property is tucked into a very beuatifully treed neighborhood, where privacy and quiet is the norm. The house is well appointed, comfortable and affords multiple get-away areas, from master syites, to a family/game-type gathering room, large kitchen, and wonderful screened-in porch off the kitchen.

Screened Porch Fabulous!!
Great house for our family, all in all. Just wish the king bedroom on the lower level, had it’s own bathroom. The screened porch really made it though. We ate most of our meals out there.
Loved being up in the trees! Did not realize this house was 7 houses from the beach when I booked it, but our 3 sight impaired grandkids did not think it was bad!
Sorry I misunderstood filling out the stars earlier. I’m somewhat dyslexic!
