Sand Dune Ln 2 - Too Sandy

We loved the location of this house. We have stayed in a couple of other houses in Isle of Palms, but this was our favorite. Such an easy walk to the beach. The house is pet friendly and our goldendoodles loved the house as well. We are looking forward to returning next year or sooner.

We had a great stay! The beach is super close and the house was perfect for our family

Great time on IOP

Loved the location and that IOP is a dog friendly island. The only complaint is construction happening in the neighborhood early on in the week, which can’t be controlled by the rental property. We plan to go back!

Great location

Perfect location and a great rental for family or a small group of friends.

Family Friendly

We really enjoyed our time at this house. It was perfect for our family and pups! The walkway to the beach is short and paved which makes such a difference and great for coming and going back and forth! The house is open and roomy and everyone has their own space, which is nice. Beds are comfortable. We will book here again!

Perfect 1st Beach House

If you are looking for a great family beach house that is walking distance to shops and food, yet far enough away for a relaxing getaway this is the perfect place for you. First, let's talk about the location. If you haven't been to the Isle of Palms before, you are in for a treat. The overall beach scene is wonderful for families who like to play in the water. The ocean shore goes out gradually and the waves don't crash harshly. It is perfect for first time toddlers, like ours. Boogie boarding and skin boarding are perfect here. The sand is soft and the dunes in the back make a great landscape. There are great seashells for people of all ages to collect. The pier, shops, playground, and local restaurants are a 5 minute walk from the house if you use the beach. You can walk around the neighborhood the other way, but you need to go out on the main highway and it will take longer. Charleston is about a 30 minute drive. Now, let's talk about the house. First, it is situated in a private, quiet, and upkept subdivision right off the main drive. Both sections of the porch and the front bedroom all have ocean views between the homes on the water. The beach access is across the street and three doors down. We were all able to walk from the house to the ocean with our gear (and toddlers) in 3 minutes. Parking allows two SUV's underneath the covered section. There is enough room to park another two vehicles on the driveway. The entire home is located on the second floor. It's décor is eclectic beachy and gives this house it's unique charm. They allow pets, but we couldn't tell. It was very clean and inviting. The beds are comfortable. They do sit quite high, so if you have a toddler they will need a boost. There are multiple eating areas for plenty of people. All appliances worked well and the AC kept us nice a cool. The outdoor shower was a bonus! There is a hose at the front of the steps that came in handy on multiple occasions. This was our first family vacation - orchestrated by our 5 year old wanting to go to the beach for the first time for his birthday. My first trip to the beach was to Isle of Palms back in the late 90's and I knew then that I wanted to come back when I had a family of my own. This sandy beach house allowed this to be possible. The memories we created here are a treasure to us. When we come back to Isle of Palms we will definitely book another week at the place my son will forever affectionately call "the beach house."

Close to everything and well stocked!

We all loved this house, and how close it is to the beach. Another perk is the quick drive to the grocery store. We had everything we needed as far as linens and houseware items.

- Caitlin R , Posted: 08/04/2021

We spent the week between Xmas and New Years and had a great time. House location was ideal with easy access to the beach. We enjoyed the great weather and sun deck!

- Rodney H , Posted: 01/04/2021

We traveled to SC for my brothers wedding. This home was perfect- easy to access, close to stores but yet far enough off the main streets to be comfortable letting the kids bike. Loved the credit for equipment rental, too! Saved us from carting a ton of stuff from PA. The only feedback I’d give is that there were a few bulbs out in the property but there were spares in the closet. Great experience!!

Beautiful house, not too far from the beach, easy check-in check-out process.

On Beach Time

We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was just a short walk. We had a good and relaxing time.

- David S , Posted: 09/12/2020

We loved our stay! The location was perfect and the house was even nicer than shown in the pictures! We would definitely rent this location again.

- Susan B , Posted: 08/21/2020

“Perfect house for a beach vacation with plenty of room for the 4 of us and we loved the outdoor screened in deck as well as the open air ocean view deck. The property is not on the beach but it’s extremely close with literally a 1 minute walk. Being at the end of the cul de sac felt nicely secluded and it’s a great location just off the connector, a 5 minute walk down the beach to the small downtown area, and it’s also walkable to a shopping center near the connector where you can find anything you’d need at the beach. We will be back!”

- Matt K , Posted: 07/11/2020

“Second row from the beach, a 2 minutes walk through a private path to the sand! the house is very comfortable, the location is amazing and extremely convenient to all local amenities and trips to Charleston. Great stay!”

Great Ocean Views

Thank you for the use of your home.  It was very comfortable & restful for us.  The ocean views are great from this home.  We enjoyed playing Scrabble & sleeping late.  We've been coming to IOP for many years & this was our first stay in this home.  Thanks again for the hospitality.  

- Cody B from Kentucky, Posted: 04/03/2020

Lovely Home! Great Vacation!

What a great vacation!  Your home is lovely and very comfortable!  The weather was great.  My husband and I can't believe how fast this month has flown by.  Thank you to the owners and also the rental company for helping us find the perfect place to call home for a short while.

Relaxing and Comfortable

We enjoyed our fall stay!  Very relaxing and comfortable stay, despite the weather.  As I sit to write this entry, the ocean is calm again, and the sun beckons us onward, homeward to Seattle.  

Simmons Seafood is a great store, beach combing was terrific (especially after the storm), and the island life is always relaxing.  We played lots of card games, Yahtzee, and explored downtown.  We even found a local orthodontist to make an emergency repair while we were here.  

Thank you owners!  And to future guests, enjoy your stay here!

Beautiful House! Relaxing & Quiet Stay

Thanks so much for your beautiful house!  My husband and I greatly enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning.  We even had a hummingbird briefly visit us.  Being so close to the beach, but also in such a quiet neighborhood was ideal.  Big Thanks!

Great Winter Home Away From Home!

For the past 3 months, this beach house has been our home away from the cold, snowy winter where we reside in Dorchester, Ontario.  Even coming this far south we experienced a number of below freezing temperatures, however wew were grateful that there was no snow!  As we are about to leave this Easter weekend, the beach is full with warm, sunny weather.  80°!!  We particularly like that it's so close to everything.  We took daily long walks on the beautiful beach. Charleston has so much to offer; great restaurants here on the IOP and as well in Mt. Pleasant and Sullivan's Island.  

- Joe L from Dorchester, Ontario, Posted: 04/03/2020

Great Floor Plan! Great Rental Company!

This cute house has a great floor plan and its a bonus tohave a partial view of the ocean.  Dunes Properties were the best real estate rental company in our opinion.  They provided excellent service and we had a very enjoyable stay here and plan to return next year.  Thank you to the owners for the use of your home!  

- The T from Canada, Posted: 04/03/2020

PERFECT weekend!

We came here for a family vacation and loved our stay here.  Great view and proximity to the beach!  Great outside shower!  Yes, it was PERFECT for my first weekend of RETIREMENT... and it was my birthday celebration too!  Freinds came over from Charleston = FUN!  Your home is just right.  Nice, but not too fancey, very comfortable, and relaxing - we enjoyed the screened in porh and deck too!  

- George & Marilyn H from Charlotte, NC, Posted: 04/03/2020

We loved it!

Thank you so much for opening your home to us this weekend!  We all LOVED the clean, cozy cottage feel.  Since we have a big family, it's hard to find somwhere that we can all fit comfortably.  The kids all slept great and had room to spread out during the day.  I was able to cook meals in the kitchen for all 8 of us - yay!  That was a huge bonus.  We all had such a wonderful experience and we hope to come back & stay here in the future!  Thank you!!!

- Laura S from Atlanta, GA, Posted: 04/03/2020

Cozy and Clean!

Thank you!!!  We had an amazing time walking on the beach and walking around Charleston!  It was lovely to come back each night to a cozy and clean house where family members could visit and enjoy one another's company!  We are already planning on when we will visit Isle of Palms and Charleston next!  Thank you so much!  We had a wonderful time!

Beautiful Beach View

Came here from Pennsylvania for a dear freind's wedding.  The house worked well for all of us.  The view & beach were beautiful.  We enjoyed our sight seeing in Charleston & all the great food.  Now that we have been here, I know we will come back.  The area has so much to offer!  Thanks for the use of your home.

Great Location!

Really nice home and great "location" to beach & to town of Isle of Palms.  We walked from the home's beach access near the IOP County Park to the Isle of Palms little downtown area (Ocean Blvd) to look at the tourist shops and get a hot dog & ice cream at Ben & Jerry's.  Merci!  -Frank, Peri, & Luke

- Frank G from Simpsonville, SC, Posted: 04/03/2020

Restful & Healing!

We are leaving after a very restful and healing month.  We're from NJ and love the gracious life style of the south!  Your home is very comfortable and a great location to the beach & downtown Charleston.  Tennis and golf are great at Wild Dunes.  Coming back next year for 2 months.  Thank you!  -The Hanlons

Perfect Location for beach and quiet neighborhood
My family of four (me, my husband, daughter age 10, and son age 8) stayed at Too Sandy in April 2014. Location: The location was outstanding. The beach is clean and a delightful place to spend the day. In addition to swimming and playing in the sand, we also enjoyed riding bicycles on the beach at low tide. The beach is only a short distance from the house, less than a 5 minute walk, but when you are at the house you feel like you have escaped the hustle and bustle of the people on the beach. The house is located in a quiet, well maintained neighborhood. The neighborhood pool was nothing to brag about, but honestly we were there for the beach and not the pool. The house is located within a 30 minute drive of everything you could want, including downtown Charleston, mini-golf, shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. House: This is a great house for a family of four. Would likely work well for a family of 5, however I think it would start to feel crowded beyond that. The house is all one level with parking under the house. The house was clean, well furnished, and very comfortable. A Keurig machine would have been nice for my morning coffee, but otherwise we found all of the pots, pans, and appliances that we needed. The washer and dryer worked well and was useful to have. The kids loved having tvs in their bedrooms. The best part of the house was the deck. The house is situated between two “first row” houses in just the right way so that there is a nice view of the ocean. If you want a full view of the ocean, pay the money for first row. For our needs however, the view was beautiful. We also enjoyed eating dinner on the screened in porch. Overall we would absolutely stay in this house again.

Wonderful time with family.
Great home base for a relaxing time while seeing the sites and sampling the cuisine of Charleston SC

- Warren M from Louisville, KY, Posted: 06/24/2019

Wonderful Week!
We loved our week in the Isle of Palms. The location of 2 Sandy is perfect and the house so comfortable for our family of 5. We've already booked for next year!

"Too Sandy" Review
We have vacationed at Isle of Palms in the 2 Sand Dune Lane cottage several time in the past and have found it to be a perfect spot for families. Our sons can ride their bikes to the pool and tennis court and the beach is just across the cul-de-sac from the house. We all enjoy the front porch with the breezes off the ocean and the sound of the pounding surf. We look forward to coming back.

Thank you for the use of your home. My children had the best Christmas memory thanks to your hospitality. This is a beautiful neighborhood and nice home. Unfortunately, the rain made the first two days dreary but the last three were great!

This beach house has been out home away from the cold, snowy winter where we reside in Dorchester, Ontario for the past 3 months. Even coming this far south we experienced a number of below freezing temperatures, however, we were grateful that there was no snow! As we are about to leave this Easter weekend, the beach is full with warm, sunny weather, 80*

We particularly like Beachside; so close to everything and have been here twice before, although different houses. The beautiful beach where we took long walks daily, Charleston has so much to offer; great restaurants here on the IOP and as well in Mt. Pleasant and Sullivan's Island. 

This cute house has a great floor plan and it's a bonus to have a partial view of the ocean.

Thank you so much for opening your home to us this weekend! We all LOVED the clean, cozy cottage feel - since we have a big family it's hard to find somewhere that we can fit completely. The kids all slept great and had room to spread out during the day. I was able to cook meals in the kitchen for all 8 of us - yay! That was a huge bonus. We all had such a wonderful experience and we hope to come back & stay here in the future. Thank you!
