🐕-friendly Cottage! 3/30 night minimum stays year-round-discounted 11/1-3/1...

SHIAWA-SEA COTTAGE, LLC, is a 2 bedroom/1 bath (shower stall), classic, family-owned Property, with cedar shake-look siding and sand-colored, standing-seam, metal roof, 2 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, in a quiet, residential, SC coastal neighborhood/barrier Island. Your stay will be the perfect get-away for couples traveling together and small families. If you are staying for a month with a 🐕, your Fee will be $10 per pet per night.

You first enter the expansive, cobalt blue carpeted screen porch, through a hand-crafted, mahogany door with South Carolina's state flag logo (palmetto/moon). On the porch, you will capture the ocean breeze and relax in the Pawleys Island Rope Hammock, enjoy appetizers/beverages, in the original Bentwood-style furniture dining area, and begin your stay on the Island. Cottage-style features include ceiling fans, glass block/leaded glass windows, maple hardwood floors & stucco walls.

You enter the dining room, through the ocean blue, hardwood door. A solid oak, antique table (seats 6), a carved-wood buffet, Ethan Allen dry sink cabinets & apothecary chest, enhance the classic Cottage features.

The Bedrooms, have queen-size beds and ocean blue quilts with nautical linens. The Cottage has central heat and air conditioning for the non-optimal seasons.

The open Family-kitchen, has a 50 inch flat screen, HD, wall-mounted TV. The original kitchen cabinets (circa 1946) are white-painted solid wood, the countertops are classic white Formica. A Classic Blue by Unique bottom-mount freezer with icemaker new in 2023. The Cobalt blue, hand-pottered, whale- accented ceramic tile back splash, will enhance your culinary experience. On the front deck, a gas grill is available for outdoor cooking & an umbrella table/chairs are available for al fresco dining.

From the Family-kitchen, you go down the internal stairwell to access the lower level (LL) laundry room.

The hot tub, which is maintained at 100-102 degrees , is perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun and watching the sunset. The outdoor shower room near the hot tub, has hot and cold water, allowing for year-round use. You have use of the year-round maintained, unheated pool, which is on our adjacent, 310 Palm Blvd. coastal Property.

South Carolina's moderate climate allows for year-round outdoor activities with beach days extending into December. The ocean temperature moderates in mid-April with 'good ole' summertime to follow. Enjoy the lazy days of summer on 'Main Street', our wide, sandy beach, just a 2 block walk away. In late Fall/Holiday-time/Winter, you will find the sitting area, near the gas log fireplace, to be a perfect spot to enjoy hot & cold beverages after a brisk walk/run on the beach. Also, the outdoor firepit awaits you to roast our succulent, salty local oyster clusters.

We know you will enjoy longer walks on the beach to Front Beach, for seafood, burgers, tacos, pizza, tropical drinks and live music. Also, you can take a short beach walk to Breach Inlet for dolphin/sunset-watching and dining at the Boathouse. We are confident you will enjoy your stay with us, where we have worked, raised children, enjoyed SC Coastal living and our Island lifestyle for 45 (and counting!) years.

First time Isle of Palms visitors
Marilyn's home is clean and comfortable. The 5 minute walk to beautiful beach is easy. Love dining on screened front porch, the outdoor shower, small hot tub, and pool access. Quiet neighborhood close to restaurants.

Great location
Plenty of stuff…perfect for someone just not us. Too many nick nack’s everywhere. We really didn’t need all the decorations and would have preferred to have the space open and for our use. Bathroom very tiny….There needs to be a place to put bathroom article and definitely bring your own toilet paper. What is provided felt like news print. Bedrooms were perfect size and plenty of sheets, comforters and towels etc. For us the Porch was the most used space. Lightening was a problem. There was little lighting for walking on the stairs and pathways outside.

Charming stay
My sister and I had a wonderful time visiting Charleston and the surrounding islands. The house is a short walk to the ocean and a short hop to everywhere we explored. Our host was as charming as the house itself. Hope to return someday.

Great location for October getaway!
We had never been to Charleston area before so we booked this for a weeklong getaway. This was the perfect location to easily drive in to the city and nearby Sullivan's Island. 3 minute walk to the beautiful beach and 1 mile walk to breakfast/restaurants in IOP. We really loved the outdoor shower and used the hot tub every single night. October was the perfect time to go as the island was quiet and the beaches were mostly empty while the water is still swimmable. We would definitely come back every October.

Porch sitting perfection
We very much enjoyed our stay! The front porch was amazing and where we spent most of our time. The listing needs some updated photos and to clarify that the pool is not part of the property. To our surprise, it was much cuter in person. We would definitely stay again if ever in IOP.

The beach cottage was charming, immaculate, and had roomy screened in porch with a hammock - which we used frequently. Quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the beach. Great setting for a getaway.
