Description The Island Gem: Isle of Palms

Pool, hot tub and your own outdoor bar – you may not get far beyond the backyard here. There’s a fire pit for later, plenty of space to spread out, and an outdoor shower that earns its keep after the beach (around an eight-minute walk away). Inside, it’s set up with groups in mind, with multiple living areas and an upstairs loft that gives everyone a bit of breathing room. You’re tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, but a short stroll or bike ride to the marina and recreation centre, with Charleston a twenty-minute drive if you fancy a change of scenery.

Home truths:
*You will need to bring your own pool or beach towels.

*The fireplace is unavailable for guest use.

*The home is in a gated resort community and may require a pass to enter the gate.

*The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

*There are steps leading up to the front door here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
