Beach Renourishment Project Planned for Summer 2026
As you prepare for your stay, please be aware that the City of Isle of Palms is planning a beach renourishment project beginning late June 2026 near the north end of Wild Dunes. This important project is intended to help preserve and protect the beach shoreline.
During active work, guests may encounter temporary beach access limitations, equipment, or pipeline sections along portions of the beach. Because the project schedule and work areas may change, specific dates and locations are not yet known. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.
For additional project information, please visit the City of Isle of Palms website at https://www.isleofpalms.gov/city-managed-beach-restoration-projects

Couldn’t dream up a better location and home layout for our family. We booked another stay later this fall on our drive home.

Sandcastle is a cozy cottage located on the beach in IOP. It is quiet and close to a beach access boardwalk. It is an older house and could use some updating but was still a nice place to stay. It is a three-minute drive to the grocery store. It has a large yard which is great if you are traveling with your dog. We would definitely rent this property again.

Very attractive, functional little house with stunning views. You can see water from every window. Almost like being on an ocean liner. And so close to the beach that you can easily take multiple walks throughout the day. The location makes this place a true luxury.

Loved our stay at Sand Castle! Had all the amenities you could possibly need or want.

This Property is great for family time right next to the beach. Enough room for 5-6 people to stay and enjoy IOP. Great pet stay as well for vacation. This house has been great for us the past 2-3 years to stay at.

Beautiful spring days on the beach with direct access to sands with a large yard. Home is cozy with all the conveniences and comforts. Large open living area with bedrooms and baths off Center - each with tv and comfy beds. Good wifi and a large back deck. All day sun and a private ( but not enclosed /fenced yard) quiet and elevated to see over the dunes. Good kitchen with space. Parking underneath with outdoor hose and shower. Well kept 90’s home with wood floors and a fireplace. Close to shops and restaurant. Beach not too busy and house is air conditioned and heated. Lovely place for a break or seaside getaway with a dog!

Clean, modern, great location!

by Peter J
House was very clean, modern, and located just a short private walk to the beach. Beautiful ocean view and the sound of the waves made this a very relaxing stay.

Outstanding property

by Dean A
This was our second visit to this property. Best location with beach access from the back yard and close to stores and restaurants. Everything was in good working order and our stay was hassle free. Very clean and there was a nice refresh since our stay last year that brightened up the inside and backyard. Great property for pets with a large yard that provides some privacy. Pet friendly area and we found everyone to be pleasant and respectful with their pets.

Perfect Little Cottage

by Mary F
The house had everything we needed and truly loved the decor. It’s difficult to tell from the listing but there is an ocean view. The access is easy out the back yard and then on to the path. The yard is huge and the dogs loved it. Thank you for a fantastic trip!

Short Walk to the Beach!

by Julie H
This house had a nice large private yard, which along the main Palm Blvd was very rare. You could see the ocean from the back deck, and the walk to the public path was right through the backyard. While convenient, it also made it very loud with lots of people coming and going. House was very clean, with very comfortable beds, and had a very nicely stocked kitchen. We cooked several full meals, and used the grill as well. It was nice to have a private yard for the kids to play in (and our dog). Within 5 minutes to Harris Teeter and several restaurants! Very nice long weekend away!

Great place to stay

by Michael L
. The ocean is a little bit of a walk but I think that's expected of most houses on Isle of Palms. We were a little nervous before we arrived that we wouldn't be able to see the ocean from the porch but luckily we could. The trees were trimmed enough to allow a view yet still keep the property in a natural state. We loved our stay and hope to stay again next year.

Amazing place to stay

by Caleb A
My fiancé and I came to Charleston for a wedding and decided to make a week out of it. This location was incredibly convenient for enjoying the beach and it’s only a short drive to the food store. Very clean, spacious and amazing views. Highly recommend.

Classic IOP Cottage Surrounded by Nature

by Valynda M
When I first came across this house, I thought it was too good to be true: A beachfront home small enough for my family, surrounded by nature? The photos do not lie. Once you pull in, busy Palm Blvd disappears. The home is comfortable and cute. The surroundings are the real appeal--I'm glad you only limbed up the trees, as they are the best feature! We've heard thousands of frogs, watched a hawk hunt in the patch of natural land behind the house, played in the backyard and enjoyed the shady breezeway, and we've even seen a huge rabbit. You are surrounded by bird song and at the same time can see dolphins from the back deck. Even though you are next to a public beach access, this is not a terribly crowded stretch of beach. The bedrooms are comfortable--good mattress, sheets, and pillows (a rarity!), with good storage. The kitchen is well equipped, and I know how hard that is in a rental. Cooks: the knife and cutting board situation is good, and there are sets of glass storage bowls with lids. We look forward to many more stays and are so grateful that some of the classic IOP beach cottages remain.

Beautifully decorated, perfect views

by Anonymous
This oceanfront cottage was the perfect get-a-way for our family of 6! We felt as though there was plenty of space for all of us have time to ourselves but then gather together on the decks, kitchen, at the beatiful marble dining table and awesome living room. The blinds in the home must have been recently replaced, and Tyler was helpful with recommendations in the area and throughout the booking process. Highly recommend this home and a rarity on Isle of Palms as most oceanfront homes are too big for smaller groups - the lot size was also very spacious and well manicured! We will be back as soon as possible.

by Stephen C
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortably furnished home especially lounging and eating on the back porch while listening to the ocean. We would just recommend taking a tree or two down to enhance the view otherwise the house was great! Communication with the management was always easy & helpful as well. would definitely go back!

Very easy to check in and out. House was clean.
October 21, 2020

by Dean A
Property is just beyond the dunes with ocean view and short walk to the beach. It is close to some great restaurants (including take-out) and shopping. Pet friendly on a spacious lot, good privacy from road and neighbors. Living and sleeping areas were comfortable and functional. Good working kitchen with most of what we needed. Management company was great with checking into a very clean property inside & out and with following up to be sure we were satisfied. Best place we've rented in the area, we would go back here.

This beach home was PERFECT in every possible way. From the ease of check-in, lovely neighborhood, comfortable and clean accommodations and direct beach front, I can't think of a thing wrong with this home. It was just the right size for our small family and dog. Several nights we invited friends over for dinner and enjoyed the views of the ocean from the porch deck. The house was clean as a whistle and all linens, utensils and dishes were in good shape and in abundance. The appliances were like new and furnishings were exactly what we needed to enjoy much needed family time. I will gladly rent this house again. It was one of the most relaxing and pleasant beach vacations we have ever taken. I cannot wait to return. Thank you to the owners for their attention to detail and making this a wonderful time for our family.

Perfect beach get away

by Michele H
Close to beach with access right next to the house. Has all amenities needed for a long stay. Bed was a bit firm for me, but not a deal breaker by any means. I would only suggest a couple of extra blankets the A/C works that good!!! We will book again and are already looking forward to it!
