About this property
Gorgeous oceanfront home with private beach access
At “Sweetwater” (6 Sand Dune Lane) enjoy the sounds of the surf and warm summer breezes from the two spacious decks overlooking the ocean! Sunrise and sunset can be viewed in full splendor from this spectacular home, with unlimited entertaining possibilities. Your own private path leads over the sand dunes to the gorgeous beach. Location, location, location is the absolute best with the county park, the only area on the island to feature seasonal lifeguards. The Isle of Palms private pier is the source of the spectacular 4th of July fireworks show. Located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the private Beachside Community, this unique home has expansive oceanfront views and the inviting beachfront. At nearby Front Beach your will find shops, ice cream and restaurants.
“Sweetwater” welcomes you with a cathedral ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows and endless amenities, and no expense was spared during the complete, superb quality renovation in 2023. Wheelchair accessible, the elevator brings you, your luggage and groceries from the garage to the first level with ease. The exquisite furnishings were all professionally designed to provide enjoyment on your vacation. Quality details can be found throughout the home, including the mantel, which is from a former Georgia governor’s home, ca.1824, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The fireplace is decorative only. A whole-house air purifier, dehumidifier and water filter were newly installed for your comfort. The gorgeous, well-equipped kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, beautiful granite countertops and custom cabinetry and offers incredible ocean views for the chef. The open dining area features a custom walnut table with seating for eight as well as additional seating for four more at the adjacent kitchen island.
When it is time to retire at the end of the day and dream of adventures to come, “Sweetwater” offers four beautifully-appointed bedrooms and three full baths. The master bedroom has direct access to the oceanfront deck and features a king bed and a private bath. A guest bedroom is highlighted with a queen bed and bath/guest powder room. An open staircase leads you to an additional oceanfront bedroom on the second level with a king bed, and it opens to a private balcony with sweeping views up and down the beach. It shares a spacious bath with the fourth guest bedroom which features a queen bed. For extra shade on the decks, there are 2 deck umbrellas, and 1 beach umbrella is available for the beach. This incredible home is but a short walk to the community pool and tennis and pickle ball courts, which are accessible only to Beachside Community residents and their guests (seasonal access). Harris Teeter grocery and the incomparable Long Island Cafe (Isle of Palms was formerly named Long Island) are just five minutes away. On the ground level are a gas grill, picnic table, swing for two, a shower and a comfortable seating area. Everlasting memories await you and your family when you vacation at “Sweetwater” (6 Sand Dune Lane).

I live in the area and renting for a family gathering was just perfect
Loved the house and location. Beautiful view of the ocean and so close to the spa. Has an elevator that goes to the first floor. The turns are a little tight for a wheelchair but it still works. The openness of the inside was wonderful.
Overall we were very happy with our stay the property was as described. The house was clean. Main reason we chose this location was for the ocean view which did not disappoint. Easy access to walk to and from the beach with kids. Would stay again.
Minor complaints would be most people felt the beds were uncomfortable. I also messaged the property manager multiple times through VRBO app with no response.
We came from Chicago to Charleston in January for some warmth . In the way that weather does, the week turned out to be VERY cold. The bikes we rented went largely un ridden so keep our faces and hands from freezing. In spite of that, we had a wonderful week -- friends visited, the food was delicious and the bundled up walks on the beach were satisfying. When inside, the view of the water from the open living room and kitchen was worth it. For people who love to cook the kitchen had everything. And when we didn't feel like cooking, the grocery is close and we could walk to restaurants.Tarvin Seafood was a short drive away for some of the best shrimp in the area. Minor drawbacks -- nowhere to swim or workout ( no gym/no public indoor pool) . And there was construction at the houses nearby creating a bit of noise.

Reviewer Comments:
Was very close to public beach entrance, hense lots of people on the beach in front of the house. Would be better to have the second floor bath made into toilet and sink on both ends with shower in middle so everyone had a bathroom and share the shower. So many parts and pieces in the kitchen that took up all the available cabinetry so had to put our groceries on the counter top. Lovely decorating. Beautiful view. Would be nice to have outside upper porch somewhat covered with an awning or screened in porch. Lower deck was so nice compared to what we usually have. Very nice but will probably choose a rental that is farther down on the beach. Have vacationed for 40 years on IOP so have experienced a lot. People from back east are perfectly fine with crowded beaches because they are used to that.

Great stay with family week before Memorial Day
This home was beautiful and in a great location. We loved it. The kitchen had everything and the home was well furnished. We would love to rent it again. The rental management company was responsive and easy to deal with. The views were spectacular.
