Renter Beware

Arrived to a dirty home with dog hair everywhere. The pictures need to be updated. They certainly do not represent how things look now. Beware that one room advertised as a bedroom had no door and you walk through the bedroom to get to the loft. The golf card did not work. We call for 3 days. Finally when we asked for a refund the owner deliver another golf cart. Upon arrival the pool filter was not working and the pool was dirty. The dishwasher does not clean the dishes. Only 3 chairs at the pool, one of which was broken. I could say more but will just say, we won't be back! First bad experience we have had in over 12 years of renting homes.

As Advertised

This was our first year traveling to IOP. We needed a house with at least 3 bedrooms, nice sized living room, a pool, and a fenced in area for our dog. This house had everything we needed and was within 1 1/2 blocks of the beach.
The furnishings are fairly typical beach house, functional more than comfortable, but there is plenty of room and most everything works pretty well. We had one minor problem with Internet connectivity when we first arrived but the owner helped to get it quickly resolved.
The back yard is slightly smaller than it looks in the pictures, but other than that, the pictures are very accurate as to what to expect.
Our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard and our kids enjoyed the pool. There were a couple of cool days there the pool heater was very helpful.
All in all, it's a spacious home, near the beach, with just about everything you might need for the week. We give it 4 out of 5 stars.

This is my 2nd year at this home. I have made it a tradition to bring my kids and grandchildren to the beach each summer while I still can. Our day starts and the beach in the morning, afternoon cool off at the pool and playset, nap time for the old and young , then we spend time at the dock catching fish. I am not sure what fish we catch but the kids have a ball pulling them in. we also visited charleston 2 day's during my stay, I enjoy the history this town provides although it was hot and enjoyed jumping in the pool on arrival . last year we came earlier in the year, and the ocean was a little cold and the fishing was not as good. The home has some updating from our last stay , mostly painting and carpet ( the carpet needed it so it was nice to see new carpet down ) we enjoyed the boathouse for dinner as a treat one night, and my kids walked down to the windjammer at night while I read and watched the grandkids. We will be coming back!
