We just completed a fabulous stay in Isle of Palms at this unit. One user classified the property as 'tired' and at first i disagreed, as it is beautiful, but over a week i came to realize it was an accurate description of an otherwise perfect property.
First the good:
- Outstanding location on a cul de sac of a beautiful, quiet street. It is a roughly 2 block walk to the grand pavilion (main shopping / dining area), or about 4 minutes without kids, 15 mins with (haha).
- House is very big, open, bright and airy. Has a nice screened porch. It's peaceful.
- The backyard sets onto the lagoon - I had concerns about our young children (the drop-off into the lagoon is steep) but it wasn't an issue. It's just not that natural (in a good way) to get to the backyard and the points of danger for curious toddlers. It helped that I told my kids the resident alligator would eat them. Hey, we all manage the points of danger in our own ways! Hopefully that made you smile.
- Property management company is awesome. I've never said that about a property mgmt company.
Negatives:
- The house shows it's wear in certain ways. The 2nd floor A/C stopped working for a day, which was inconvenient given we had a baby crib we (I) had to move. The property manager was exemplary in their handling of the issue. They came out with some portable A/C units until the technician could get out the next day. They did fix it but the thermostat never worked properly.
- The ice machine in the fridge didn't work
- It has 2 microwaves, one of which doesn't work. IT seems they just threw a second unit in the kitchen when the first, installed one, failed.
All of the negatives are just inconveniences, but they could drive certain people crazy. For us, it was fine. The house and it's location were both on the whole outstanding, but not so great as to give 5 stars. We would definitely consider returning.
