The fenced-in backyard is easily accessible. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house. As part of our complimentary offerings, guests have access to 2 streaming programs: the Spectrum TV with 150 channels and Netflix, available on TVs in the living room, master bedroom, and screened porch.

Other things to note: We typically accept bookings for a minimum of 4-5 nights. However, we understand that your needs may vary, and we're open to offering 2-3 night stays on occasion. Please reach out to me directly, and I'll make a special adjustment based on availability. We kindly ask that you treat the house with respect.

Guests are requested to dispose of trash regularly in these containers during their stay and before departure.

Doug thinks of everything! Never have I booked a VRBO that baby proofed the house for me. The ktichen, bathrooms, and home basics are well stocked which made this rental even better. The location is a perfect, easy walk to what is now our favorite Atlantic beach (and we have hit quite a few from NC to the Keys). Beds are comfortable and the home is very clean. Our toddler loves thr Christmas decor! High praises to this vacation home rental. If we are back in the area, we will be seeking Doug's property again. Our favorite VRBO to date!

Beautiful property. Easy access to walk on the beach, walk to a nearby park and a short drive to any entertainment you could want. Plenty of space to spread out or all be together to watch football. Doug stocks this property with so many extras which is really appreciated. He quickly answered the one question we had and made sure we had everything we needed. We were not disappointed with this rental.

This is the perfect beach house. Location is a very short walk down one block and across the street to the beach. If you are a walker you can walk to IOP from the beach and get some food, drink, shop...or you can make the quick drive. Lots of great eating options within minutes from the house. Speaking of the house, you are able to enjoy wonderful privacy on the deck or large screened in porch with all the trees and beautifully landscaped yard all around. Inside the home is very well maitained, clean and open. Kitchen is cery well organized and labeled with everything you could need. Beds were super comfortable. Lots of beach stuff in the garage for use. Would highly recommend for families or just a couple looking to get away like we did. It was perfect and the owner, Doug, was fantastic with communication and checkin and check out directions. Coulnt have been better!!

This is the first time we tried anything like virbo and for a vacation rental. I can say this was a fantastic experience. Doug was a wonderful host had everything ready for us as we found out we really didn't need to bring anything but clothing. And food as we needed it. It was very close to the beach and we had a fantastic time. Would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Sun, Sand, and Sea was wonderful! The house was very comfortable, spacious, and clean. It was well-equipped with beach necessities, a well-organized kitchen, plenty of towels, and even had coffee/tea available. This space allowed our 3-generation family of 5 have plenty of space to enjoy family meals and time together while also have some private/separate space at times. The beach was easily within walking distance, and the grocery store/other businesses within a short drive. Doug was amazingly available and supportive, including when my husband experienced a bit of an unexpected medical situation. We would love to return some day!

Doug was a fantastic host. The home is exactly as described and better. The kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, appliances, etc. The kitchen is so well organized with cabinets labeled, so everything is easy to find. There are plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas and beach wagons. And the beach access is 3 1/2 blocks away.
It’s perfect for a family vacation. The beds are comfortable too. Would definitely recommend and rent again.

Overall we had an excellent stay at Doug's house. Communication was good and we were able to check in early and easily. The house is very thoughtfully set up and maintained, making settling in easy. Takes only 5 minutes to walk down to the beach, and it's a short drive into the Isle of Palms downtown area with a good number of restaurants and shops. Charleston itself was even more impressive, and we ended up going into town so much that maybe staying there would've been better for us, but if the beach is a priority this property is well worth it.

5 ladies spent 4 nights in this lovely home. The house was spacious. The screened area was especially nice for talking outdoors at night. The house is about a block and a half from the beach, very convenient. And the beach was very beautiful. The grocery store is less than 1.5 miles from the house, convenient for picking up supplies. All in all a very nice experience.

Our host, Doug, was terrific. Extremely responsive and helpful.
The location was great. Close to public golf courses, restaurants and grocery store. The beach was a block and a half away. Great neighborhood to walk in. The house was clean and well supplied. We cooked several nights and plenty of room on the deck for dining out. We look forward to a return trip.

House is on a quiet street with a very short walk to the beach. The host provided everything we needed including great information about the house. He went out of his way to mail some papers we left behind. A beautiful November weekend

This was more than we expected. We were in walking distance from the beach but far enough from the traffic. Plenty of room for six adults and two young children. The house is very well kept. Had a great time.

Labeled cupboards make things easy to find. Instructions for all appliances. Outdoor shower, covered porch and deck in a quiet, secluded neighborhood. Loved it and would definitely stay again!

We just returned from Doug's terrific home. Check-in was a breeze, and Doug followed up with us to make sure we were settled in. We especially loved how considerate the host was by providing things like coffee, trash bags, kitchen soaps, and laundry detergent. The TV on the outside, screened-in porch was awesome. Beds and linens were super comfortable. We loved the place. Thank you, Doug- you are a terrific host.
