We've been coming to IOP for 6 years now and 5th stay with Marilyn! This house is perfect for us. The first year we stayed downstairs and then the other years we've stayed upstairs with our daughter. The location is so perfect, easy walk to the beach, quick drive to Sullivan's and Charleston. As soon as you walk in, it smells so clean from the fridge to the bedsheets! We found a bug or two but that's expected in the humid, June/July IOP climate! There is the adjacent pool that we've used in the past and it was great as well as the hot tub, but our daughter only wanted to go the beach this year! This property is truly a gem and can't imagine staying anywhere else! ##### Lindsay B.

We booked this cottage at the last minute for a weekend getaway, and it was perfect! Quaint, peaceful and only a VERY short walk to the beach. We absolutely loved IOP and the cottage. We really loved that we could bring our 75 lb. Boxer with us. The owner was very attentive and accomodating. We hope to stay here again on our next trip to IOP. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb F. 11 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming Relaxation This cottage is a hidden gem among the typical looming new structures on the island. Morning coffee (bring your own or get some at the nearby Harris Teeter store) was lovely at the front deck cafe table or in the screened porch. The beach is a very short 2 block walk. Although we ate out for all our meals, the kitchen was well stocked with baking, cooking, and grilling necessities. There are so many things to do and see in the Charleston area that we spent very little time here, but it was just the kind of place that we wanted to relax and unwind after our busy days! ##### Deb F.

It's well-appointed, clean, and convenient to the IOP pavilion area and Sullivan's Island. The cottage is cute and comfortable. The screened in front porch was perfect after a day on the beach. We didn't take advantage of the pool or hot tub but it was nice to know we had the option. We're already looking forward to coming back again next year! 5-stars. ##### James O.

Shiawa-Sea Cottage was perfect. The owners are great to work with and close by if needed. Nice short walk to the oceanfront. The screened-in porch is a jewel, perfect place for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. The neighborhood is very quiet. Pets are allowed so we were able to bring our retriever with us which is always a treat. The hot tub is clean and in good working order, which is not always the case with rentals. Beds and furniture are comfortable and clean. I would recommend this place to anyone but caution parents with small children, the cottage is beautifully decorated with an abundance of collectibles and artwork. We will definitely be back! ##### cathy h. ### 2/10 Terrible #### keri b. 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Worst stay with VRBO ever About an hour before check in we got a message from the host that there was damage from the week before the Tropical Storm. When we arrived, there was an 8-foot hole in the ceiling with a tarp over it in the bedroom- they had to turn the air off because of the leak, and it was over 80 in the room most of the weekend. I would have preferred knowing this ahead of time so we could have tried to make other arrangements, but since it was last minute, there was nothing else available. In addition, the bath and a half is misleading- the half bath is really just an outdoor shower down by the hot tub. After a few very hot days we decided to use the pool we have access to next door- it was beyond filthy- we could not even get in the pool. If I was able I would post pictures here- when I have shown friends they can't believe we actually stayed. ##### keri b. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma M. 2 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Place... tough with toddlers or young children We had an overall pleasant and relaxing stay at this little cabin. The hot tub was wonderful after a hot outdoor shower, and coming off the Beach from a cooler swim because we stayed here at the end of February. The hammock was so relaxing, and my 10 year old fell asleep there listening to the waves. I must add here that this place was challenging to stay in with my 3 year old. There are a LOT of little decorative items throughout the house. Some of these items are made of glass and ceramic, and could easily break. I found myself following my son around while we were trying to relax, and being generally stressed out that he was going to break something or misplace it. This was not conducive to a relaxing vacation. I feel sort of confused about it, since some of the other amenities were very kid friendly. I think that if this cabin is going to be rented out to people with kids, some of the extra items throughout the house should be removed. Just some basic child proofing, like not having wine glasses on a floor level shelf, would be super cool. As I said, overall, this cabin is really very lovely, and has great perks. I am really glad we spent a few days here! ##### Emma M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel C. 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing trip We enjoyed our trip to IOP. This VRBO provided a great location for us. The hammock, screened in porch, hot tub, outside shower, and access to a semi private pool were the biggest draws for us when booking this home. We found IOP beach to be a family friendly and more laid back option which was perfect for our family. Cars shared the road very well with us when we walked the 2 blocks to the closest beach access trail as well as when we rode our bikes the mile in to the souvenir shops and ice cream joint. My daughter and I enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings when the sun was setting and the breeze was stronger. The outside shower was very helpful to clean off chlorine and sand. It was also quite spacious in comparison to the tiny stall shower inside. We did enjoy the pool most days. It was preferable for our family to utilize the semi private pool rather than a public pool at a condo. It was somewhat awkward not knowing who was in the adjacent home where the pool was located. It would have been reassuring to know, upfront, it was the owners family and they were accustomed to sharing the pool. We were a bit disappointed that the pool filter wasn’t working but we used a net to clear out debris and made the best of it. Thank you for opening your rental to us! Tips: Check out Sea Biscuit for breakfast. There is a short wait but it’s worth it. We found the best IOP souvenir options for the price at Pipline in Mt. Pleasant. ##### Rachel C.

My kids were home from college and the four of us had the best week hanging out on the porch, watching the stars from the hot tub, and spending many days walking and enjoying the beach. This house was perfect for all of this. I would recommend her home completely! ##### Kelly D.

Overall, really great experience. ##### Jody U.

Porch is chill. Fridge is spacious and very cute. Hot tub was nice. Pool had low water and on adjacent property, so we didn’t use it. It should be disclosed that there is a first floor apartment. It was accessed by a male who did landscaping while myself and my children were there. I reached out to the host at that time and got no response. The deadbolt on main door is very difficult to lock. Shower inside bathroom needs better cleaning. Washing machine was unusable as it was very moldy and had a strong musty smell, so had to do our washing elsewhere. Host stated they were sorry and would have it serviced. Also, listing states “dog friendly”, but there are about 1k glass ornamental figurines and empty wine bottles everywhere you look. Thankfully we left our pup behind for this trip and my children are no longer small. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27fa3273-bf08-423c-9f93-7f8ebf3b252d-1750818224633.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd4b6267-233a-4566-93b0-fcef654cc22a-1750818224426.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0c5fbb10-6dfc-4b00-a12a-4b1fb5c748f7-1750818224560.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/071a4ebe-cc8d-44cd-9c10-255b6679b1eb-1750818224447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brandie G.
