Family cottage one block from beach! 25 min from Historical Downtown Charleston

Isle of Palms
Family home- Elizabeth's Cottage

This beach house has been in our family for over 50 years and through 4 generations. We hope you will make amazing memories like we have in this house and on this beach.

The house is located one block from two different beach paths. You can take 21st Ave Beach path or 23rd.
Location is just blocks away from the front beach, restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. A short drive to the marina to grab lunch, fishing supplies, or walk alongside the water. House is 10 minutes to the heart of Mt. Pleasant, 10 minutes to Sullivan's Island, and 25 minutes to Historic Downtown Charleston.

The house can occupy 4 adults and 2 children. There are 2 Queen size beds and 2 twin beds. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, Keurig, plates, silverware, ect. Beach towels and sand toys are provided as you head to the beach for the day.

Our favorite part of the house is relaxing on the screened in porch in the rocking chairs, listening to the ocean or spending quality time with one another on our quiet street. Spend time in the fenced in back yard underneath the beautiful oak tree.

Come see why we love our little slice of paradise at the beach!


*** Rules to remember:
As we want to keep our home in the best condition, please adhere to the following rules: no dogs, no smoking and no parties. This is a family home and it is surrounded by family friends and neighbors.

Everything was great. As an FYI, the light fixture in the upstairs closet is not attached to the ceiling by anything other than the wiring. We just blocked it off from the kids but I suspect the wiring will eventually fail and it will fall. It looks like it just needs to be screwed in.

Very Enjoyable stay. Simply furnished and very clean with both screened and unscreened porches/decks. There was a terrific gas grill we used for steaks from a specialty butcher shop a short walk away. Ceiling fans in every room and porch make it very comfortable too. Very quiet neighborhood so you can sit and rock on the front porch while listening to the surf in the early morning. The washer and dryer were state of the art and greatly appreciated. While my sister slept on the upstairs queen bed and had no complaints, my wife and I found the downstairs matress uncomfortable.

A place of Quiet Retreat

Thanksgiving week vacation with siblings. My husband and I rented this house to accommodate my brother and his wife and my younger brother for the Thanksgiving holidays. We really enjoyed the porches, the location is just as stated a 2 minute walk to the beach . The grocery store is a 5 minute drive and there are restaurants in that shopping center. one can walk the neighborhood and enjoy the beauty of the palm trees and massive Oak trees.. The house is small but very well equipped with all the necessities to make your arrival and stay very nice. The porches were where we spent alot of time. The weather was great for our stay. The Host was exceptional. He communicated regularly and was very accommodating. Overall we will consider staying there again.

Family Beach Vacay

We had a great stay at Beth and Loren’s beach cottage. It was the plenty big enough for our family of four with plenty of extra room had we needed it. We traveled with a three year old and a nine month old. The location was just right for a five minute wagon pull over to the beach or a ten minute walk to the shopping plaza to Harris Teeter or some local restaurants. The house itself was very clean and I have to say it’s so nice to take kids to a VRBO rental that isn’t overly cluttered with breakable decor. The only little snafu we ran into was ensuring our three year old who slept upstairs didn’t wake in the night and try to come down the stairs. There is a door at the top of the staircase that opens into the stairwell so we put a childproof cover over the inside doorknob during our stay to prevent any falls. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this place to traveling families.
