Great location to walk to the private pier and beach. Nice to see and hear the waves from the balcony. Communication with host was great.
Property could use some improvements. I honestly could not give this property 5 stars. The host offered to bring a replacement chair for the living room chair which had a ripped seat. The balcony needed attention as the carpet was old and dirty. The balcony chairs were rusted and the legs taped. The beach chairs rusty. The toilet lid did not fit the toilet. The sliding door was a bit hard to open going out onto the balcony. This property has great potential but needs some attention as is.

Loved the location of the unit. No one below you because of the condo office. Being on the second floor still provided a great view of the ocean and there was plenty of parking. Very convenient to all the local sites as well. Lots of parks, downtown Charleston and Patriots Point all within 20 minutes. Check out Luke n Ollie’s pizza and The Dinghy both within a 5 minute walk of the room.

My child knew the small bed was for him and loved the idea of sleeping there. The couch pulls out into a bed but it’s got a very thin mattress and there were no sheets, we used an extra blanket to cover it. The water got hot which is always a plus!
Close to lots of good restaurants with access to a secluded and very quiet pool.

We stayed for just less than a week in this condo and enjoyed IOP and the beach every day. The condo is like the rest in the 3-building complex, with 1 bedroom in the back, kind of dark, and a decent sofa bed out in the main room. The 2nd floor was a great balance between view and stair climbing - we recommend it!
The AC in the condo struggled to drop the inside temp any lower than 10 degrees below the outside. So, when the outside soared to 95, the condo temp rose to 85, despite the AC being set to 70 the entire time. Maybe a coolant recharge?
Kitchen is good, dish washer fine, fridge clean, and balcony nice. Overall, we give this a 4-star rating, and would have been higher if the AC was more capable of handling those super-hot days. Owner communication was fine, check-in easy, price was good for location. Had a great time there in IOP!
4.0
Obviously a great spot with easy beach access and easy walking distance of pretty much everything IOP has to offer. Small complaint, the AC could not keep up with the heat of the day, during the day the condo would get up to 80F, and overnight only cool to 73F. We're "outdoorsy" people, so it was tolerable. I have no idea how those heat pump motors don't burn out running 24/7. And as previously mentioned the bedroom never gets dark, it has the lighting of sunrise all night long. I would definitely stay here again during a different time of year and maybe bring a blackout curtain for the bedroom window. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evening and walking to Coconut Joe's for dinner every night.

Great location. The condo was perfect for 2 of us. I would suggest a new frying pan. I tried really hard but could not get it clean it was too worn out. Loved that there were beach chairs to use.

We were on IOP for a wedding, but wanted more economic accommodations and some privacy. This condo development was perfect for our needs: 1) walking distance to dining; 2) Pool and beach access; 3) Quiet at night. “Cozy” rather than spacious, but comfortable, and we’ll-equipped.

Clean and comfortable. Close to the beach with several great restaurants in walking distance. Perfect place for a long weekend break or longer stay.

Sea Cabins are in a great location on IOP with private pier and beach access. The beach is gorgeous! Shops and restaurants are within walking distance, and it’s only a short drive to Mt. Pleasant for more shops, restaurants, and fun activities. Only 30 mins to Charleston. This unit was as described, I just felt it could maybe use a deep cleaning and minor repairs. We cleaned the fan in the bathroom, as it was coated with a thick layer of dust and did not work very efficiently. The dishes and glassware in the cupboard needed to be washed, as many were coated with food residue. I just ran the dishwasher with all the dishes and silverware I could fit in it the first day we arrived. Coffee pot was a bit touchy, the button did not always respond to turn it on. Doorknob on the door leading to the bathroom from the bedroom is broken and pulls off. Minor things that just need some attention….. Overall the condo met our needs and we enjoyed our stay. The host was quick to respond when a breaker tripped and we lost power in the kitchen. She followed up to make sure we were able to resolve it.

The property was well maintained and condo well stocked for some time at the beach. My wife, and I with our 17 year old daughter spent four nights at the condo. The view of the surf and pool was nice and I really enjoyed walking out on the Sea Cabins private pier. I wish I had planned to fish and did enjoy watching others catching whiting and cobia. The beach was close and made for great long walks South past many large oceanfront homes. I only wish we had more time to relax and enjoy.

The property is as described and perfect for two. It is well stocked with basic kitchen supplies. Access to the beach and pier is convenient. There are beach chairs and a small cooler for use. I would recommend this stay.

My parents and I stayed at this property for Thanksgiving 2022 and we were super impressed with the property & location. We could walk everywhere we needed to go!

Had a wonderful stay at the Sea Cabins. Perfect location. The condo has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The unit was very clean, the bed comfy! The pool area was nice. Having private access to beach and pier was very convenient. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Our stay was cut short by a day thanks to Hurricane Ian.

Everything was fantastic! My only issue was the code to the pool, beach, ect is 5017 which is different from your email. The email you sent referenced dates from 2020, and they are not the same anymore. Another person staying there gave us the code.
