#202 "Top O' the Stairs" 2Br/1Ba, Dogs welcome

If location is the most important thing to you, this small complex of individually owned condominiums is the perfect spot. This 2 bedroom 1 bath condo is simple, tastefully decorated, and has all your family needs for a great stay at the beach. This upstairs condo, #202 at the Ocean Inn, is just steps from the pool and parking and has big windows to let in lots of natural light. It faces southwest so our gorgeous lowcountry sunsets pour right through the window. There isn't a beach view but if you look sideways out the bedroom windows you can see a smidgen of the view in front. No sleeping in for the teenagers though - each of the bedrooms also has a big bright window to let you know when it's time to start the day. With their tall ceilings and bright natural light the bedrooms feel much bigger than they are. The bedrooms are small but they are big enough for a comfy bed and good night's sleep. (You know you won't be in there much anyway.) The full kitchen is stocked with dishware, glassware, pots and pans and baking dishes. With all the fabulous cuisine on the island, in Charleston and in the surrounding areas, you might never need to cook much but it's handy to have what you need for simple breakfasts and easy meals.

Best of all: The furriest member of the family doesn't have to miss out on all the fun! Dogs only -PLEASE PREAPPROVE PETS OVER 20# - SOME LARGER DOG BREEDS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Reservation will be cancelled if not able to host your pet. Pet fees are according to weight and are required for your pooch to stay. Fee is added on as an extra guest fee. There is a vet clinic right down the street plus an emergency clinic and pet stores in Mt Pleasant for all your pup's needs.

If traveling without a pet, have no fear - great care is taken to ensure there is no evidence left behind from previous pets!

On the Ocean Inn property you will find a pool and two grill areas for use by owners and guests, fee parking, and shared laundry facilities just steps away. (You will need quarters - we'll remind you of that before you get here.)

Speaking of cuisine, the restaurants on the Island are popular among tourists and locals alike. All within a 3-block radius, the Isle of Palms business area has restaurants and shops, moped rental, spa, and even a computer repair shop. This complex sits smack dab in the middle of all of it! A little further away, but still walking distance, is the grocery store, a "red dot" ABC store (that's southern speak for Liquor Store) a vet clinic, a dentist, and more.

None of our restaurants on the IOP close for the winter but it's definitely busier here in the Summer when the bar and live music scene is going on strong with nightly music playing. If you plan ahead you might be able to get some tickets to a show at the Windjammer, an Isle of Palms venue that has a beachfront bar/food by day and bar/music by night. Coconut Joe's, The Dinghy, The Refuge all have music as well.

Perfect spot
We loved our week stay here and hated to leave! We loved being so close to the beach and really loved exploring the town of IOP. The unit was so cute and clean and we really appreciated the beach stuff available for us to use. The property manager was also great and made us feel welcome!

Always a good spot for a quick beach get away
The property interiors are always clean and as described. Grounds are pretty well kept. Management is very micro management focused with lots and lots of rules, signs and labels in every nook and cranny reminding you what to do and not do. Probably necessary for a property that gets lots of young people wanting to party at the beach. Most of the renters seem to be families so I am not sure what happened that required all the signs and labels everywhere. Parking at restaurants and other businesses on Sullivan's and IOP is limited so a LSV or golf cart is a good thing to rent while you are in town. Carts are allowed at the Ocean Inn, but you are not allowed to charge them. With this ridiculous information I sourced a gas cart vendor. I was checking out on Sunday but the cart vendor would only pick Mon - Fri. I asked Ocean Inn management to let it stay over night for pick up Monday morning. They said no. Not because of a parking space need but because of insurance liability. They posed the question who'd be responsible or take care of if it if someone backed into it. I was forced to talk the golf cart company into picking it up Friday for this reason and they made an exception and picked it up Saturday morning. I conveyed this to the Ocean Management to appease them. A few days later they told me that the cart could be dropped anytime the day I was checking in. The cart was dropped early AM that day with us checking in late that day. So what about the insurance concerns for those hours we were not there? Ocean Inn went on to recommend a moped rental place behind their property after I went through all this. It would have been nice to have add that info before I went through this. Bottom line it feels they fixate on the things that are not as big of an issue. The fact that were a good number of cigarette butts in the properties BBQ grill was off putting to me. They fact that there was a drunk person crawling (literally) to their room seemed more of an issue than a golf cart. I appreciate that you can bring your dog. I just wish there more trash cans. A dumpster out back is about all i could find. No trash can at the pool even. I appreciate their concern for property up keep. It just needs to be consistent, logically and not a study in micro management.

We had an awesome experience. The property is right by the beach. The place was clean and just as advertised. The property manager is super nice and helpful. We visited with our dog and found them really accommodating. Other renters were pleasant when we ran into each other in passing but never really knew any one else was there once we were inside. We loved it so much we booked another unit at the property during our stay! Definitely recommend you give it a try!

We will stay here again. (And this beach is for dog lovers and the place was perfect for dogs with wood floors. Highly recommend
