Santosha at Seascape Villa Steps from the Beach
Great location super close to the beach, easy check-in, clean and comfortable

Oceanview Sea Cabin 318B- Isle of Palms, SC!
Nikki’s place was spotlessly clean, offered beautiful views in a great location and was just what we needed for our family of 4 for Isle of Palms. We have two kids 9 and 12 who slept in the bunk beds (which they loved) and my husband and I felt the Queen bed was very comfortable in the bedroom. There was a pullout coach as well to use but my kids wanted to sleep in the bunk beds. The unit was spotless, had Keurig machine, dishes/cups/glasses cooking utensils making it easy to have breakfast and lunch in the unit every day. Nikki also provided great information about the area and was very responsive when we had questions. You really can’t beat the location in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops. We would definitely stay again on our next visit to IOP!

Bayview's Secret
Staying at “the secret” was like staying in a very close friends home. We felt like everything that we needed was available. Location was perfect as my daughter is at college of Charleston and being close to Shem Creek and all the bridges was so convenient. it meant so much that they had food, spices, toiletries; all that we would need to live there. The only concern I had was the beds on the upper level were a bit small, and the left ceiling low. But the house was lovely and we were able to adapt. Richard had some great tips on fishing and we look forward to staying again.

The Folly River Flat at Folly Beach NOW WITH DOCK!
Great place, excellent location. I’d definitely come back!

Two Sisters Folly, Unit B- Marshfront Duplex
Trina responded to the need at hand right away and found a solution quickly. She was helpful and understanding. It was very easy to reach her. Great communication! The location is great. Quick access to the beach without the premium price. There is a shower outside to rinse off the sand.

Dreamy HHI Retreat w/ Pool, Gym
We had a wonderful romantic getaway in Hilton Head thanks to this place! Check-in was a breeze, and the host was very reachable but not overbearing. It was so great to have access to all of the amenities as well as many delicious local restaurants. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Hilton Head!

Cozy Condo 2 bd/1ba w/Pool on the Cooper River
This stay was very cozy and cute. We had all of the kitchen supplies we needed and enjoyed the snacks she provided.

Water life “Aquavida”
We greatly enjoyed our stay for a nice little getaway after our wedding. It was extremely peaceful and quaint Arrival and departure instructions were easy to follow. We will be back in the future. Thank, Brianna! :)

Pet friendly Lowcountry home on a creek with dock
We absolutely loved this little home located on the creek north of Mount Pleasant. From the very beginning, Kathy was wonderful at communicating with us and made our transition to and from so easy. Her and her husband were so kind and helped us get our little boat situated in the water when we arrived. Our stay was exactly what we hoped it to be! Thank you for sharing your home with all of us. We hope to be back in the Charleston area again!

Intracoastal water view luxurious family retreat
Loved the house and location. We are already planning a weekend trip with some family members!

Waterfront Home 5 minutes From Downtown Charleston
Great spot to explore the area. Would stay again if in the area.

The Hampton House
Derrick's place was fantastic. The community was lovely, the amenities were exactly as described, and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The sunsetting on the beach, the dolphins swimming right next to shore, and the house was just fantastic. Derrick was a lovely host and we can't wait to come back! Highly recommend for anyone.

Flamingo Cove - May Availability! Book now!
This place is so peaceful and you really can not beat the view!! Clean and comfortable, we loved it! The use of the dock was great for my sons that love to fish. We saw stingray, caught trout and crabs. Kitchen was well equipped as we cooked there and enjoyed our meals looking out over the water! Can’t wait to come back!

St. Helena Waterfront Retreat
We loved staying here with our family! Our two daughters (9 and 6 years old) enjoyed playing outside and walking our dog around. You cannot beat the views and watching the sun go down over the marsh. The house was clean and comfortable as well! We enjoyed going to downtown Beaufort and going on a carriage ride to tour the beautiful Town. Coming back and relaxing in the afternoon/evening surrounded by the serene sounds was just what we needed! Thank you!

Waterfront Nature’s Retreat Cottage 2Bd/2B
Possibly my favorite AirBnb that I've stayed in. I fell in love with the property and how relaxing it was. I will be planning my next trip to Charleston around the availability of this place. I also appreciate how accomodating the host was. I have no complaints, just positivity.

Million dollar view, close to everything. Kayaking
My husband and I loved this place on Goose River Reservoir. I picked it because it was on the water. It was peaceful and relaxing on the enclosed back deck. It is close to great stores and eateries. About 20minutes to Charleston and Mt. Pleasant. There is plenty for kids to do at the house. The Master bed was comfy and warm. Shower was awesome. What I liked: The house felt warm and cozy. I liked being on the river and listening to the bugs, squirrels and birds. We loved being on the back deck relaxing and drinking our coffee. House rules were not overbearing, but to just clean up after yourself, no dirty dishes left in the sink, take out trash and bring the towels down to the washer. I tried to sweep, but I didn't find a broom. I spilt coffee grinds, but was able to clean it up. Communication with the owners was great and quick response! We really enjoyed our stay and would book again!
Waterfront condo rentals

The Beachwalker *Relax & Renew*
enjoyed our stay! The beach at the condo was very unique and beautiful in a different way from the other beaches on the island. It was about a 10 min drive to the closest beach which worked just fine when we wanted a change.

End Unit 2 Bedroom Oceanfront Condo with Pool
Peaceful, great access for the teens to get to the pool and beach, lacking on the ocean was fun.. small hiccup during the stay but Sean and Jeremy from the mngmt team were on it and did an excellent job.

Dunes West-beachside Port O'Call
This space was great! Short walk to the beach, pool access, and all the beauty of the Sea Islands. Mona was kind enough to arrange an early check in for us. The space itself was spotless. The bed was comfy, kitchen had some essentials provided which is always helpful in a vacation rental. We also really appreciated that there were beach chairs, towels and beach bags available since we flew so we couldn't bring our own beach equipment. Mona was super communicative and accessing the space was easy. Note: don't follow the Google Maps direction the first time you come in so you can get your pass at the Residential Gate to Wild Dunes. Mona wrote that in the instructions but I still got confused and went to the second Wild Dunes entrance, not the first.

Pond Side Retreat
great accommodations. near to major roadways and easy to get around and down to charleston

Newly renovated Oceanfront Condo ~ Isle of Palms
Had a great stay at Elizabeth's place. the place is just as seen in pictures. Easy to find, great location. Walking distance to grocery store and restaurants. Loved the beach view on the balcony with our morning coffee. Would definitely stay there again.

Folly Beach sunrise and sunsets
The Condo was exactly as described. Thomas was very responsive with any questions we had. No issues arose at all. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Folly Beach

Water & Beach Front Beauty Updated Modern Interior
David was an excellent host that checked in with us to make sure our stay was as expected. The location looked a bit dated on the outside but the condo was updated and had everything we needed plus more. The ease of walking to the private beach was the best part and hope to stay again in the future.

Paradise at Folly - Beautiful Riverfront Condo
We loved spending the weekend in this delightful condo. Coffee on the porch overlooking the river every morning was divine. The space is so clean, cute, and thoughtfully arranged. I would certainly book again. 5 starts all around. Exactly as advertised.
