About this house rental

Blue Haven on the INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY…Let the unique charm and breathtaking views capture your heart as it did ours!

Entire home with private dock on the INTRACOASTAL waterway. Floating dock can accommodate 2 boats…so, bring your boat or two…No boat, no problem! There are reasonable boat rentals available. We are a 5-minute boat ride from the Isle of Palms Marina, which offers boat rentals, slips and a boat ramp!
“Blue Haven” is the perfect retreat for those looking for a break from the daily grind. Enjoy a private island that is only accessible by boat and has not only beautiful views but opportunities to explore wildlife like you’ve never experienced before.
Our waterfront features include a floating dock (10x30), a 4' wide aluminum "Sure Grip" ramp and a large covered pier head (15x20) complete with water and electricity. The house operates on a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System, providing clean water throughout your stay.
Our home features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths with an open floorplan and expansive windows that provide amazing views of the Intracoastal Waterway from almost every room in the house. The kitchen is beautifully designed with quarts counter tops, a seated island, heart-pine floors and more cabinets than you can fill. Prefer cooking outside? We provide a gas grill or use the oyster cooker to create one of those amazing Lowcountry boils for which coastal Carolina is so well known.
Looking for a boating experience? Offshore? Inshore? We can direct you to excellent guides that operate only minutes away. Want to explore on your own? Head North and explore barrier islands like Capers and Bull, which are only 15 minutes away, or head South to experience Sullivan’s Island, Shem Creek and Charleston.
You and yours will enjoy ALL “Blue Haven”, a 2,400 sqft home, has to offer so, whether you prefer to fish and swim off the dock, explore the island in search of wildlife, share stories around the fire pit or watch the sunrise from the porch, you will have stories to share and memories to reflect on for a lifetime.

***NO vehicular parking provided.

WELCOME to the legendary, GOAT ISLAND!

Our stay on Goat Island was absolutely fantastic! The house, accessible only by boat, offered a unique and private experience in the ICW. We had our kids with us, and they loved the adventure of island living. The accommodations were comfortable, the views were stunning, and the peaceful island ambiance made it a perfect escape. Kim, our wonderful host, was incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. We enjoyed every moment and are already looking forward to renting this wonderful home again. Highly recommend!

Goat Island is a hidden gem right beside IOP and only accessible by boat. It’s easy to pick up people at the IOP marina. Although this island is primitive, this rental is quite the opposite! There is a fully stocked kitchen, fire pit, deep water dock, inside fireplace, outdoor dining area, gas grill, low county boil pot, comfortable bedding the list goes on! There are not many rentals on Goat Island but this is definitely the best! The host is super friendly and very responsive! We have come year after year and have so many great memories.

This property was perfect. We had a wonderful time hanging out on the dock and porches. The property is close to all amenities and downtown Charleston is about 25 mins away. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and enjoy all the property had to offer. We saw dolphins nearly every day and tons of other wildlife, including two Great Horned Owls that visited each night. We fished off the dock and booked a full day fishing trip with another Goat Island resident. We had a low-country boil our first night, and the house was stocked with everything we needed. We ate meals on the porch almost everyday. A note to others who plan to bring your own boat - make sure you are able to launch at IOP Marina and rent a boat slip for the days you want to head into town. Kim was a wonderful host and answered all of our questions quickly. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for solitude but with easy access to Charleston!

Our family had a great time staying at this house on Goat Island. It’s spacious, the bedrooms are all a comfortable size, the bathrooms are very nice. The kitchen is open with plenty of space to cook meals. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the porch and dock. I definitely recommend for a no-fuss and relaxing getaway.

Best house on Goat Island no doubt! Modern house with everything you can ask for on vacation. We spent most of our time on the deep water dock which can fit 2 boats. We saw tons of dolphin, sea birds and even a manatee. We enjoyed floating in the water, paddle boarding and boating.

We had a great time fishing and crabbing from the dock, relaxing in our ENOs, eating dinner on the front porch, and exploring the island. The location is close to many fun spots we visited by boat. We look forward to booking another stay soon!

A delightful chilling family vacation.

A delightful chilling family vacation.

Property was as described. Because you are on an island, you must have a boat for transportation. The weather was quite chilly the week we were there, so we’re not able to enjoy boating as much as planned. Since this was a family vacation, we enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving together touring the Charleston area while living on an island.

Awesome location!!

The house was amazing!! We spent a week there and enjoyed every minute of it!! The dock is amazing and even at low tide you can still get in and out (low tide it shallow so you have to be careful)! It was peaceful, relaxing and a great way to spend a week with family and friends. Parking is easy at IOP marina, and it was easy to pick up friends who came out for the day. I highly recommend this house!! The owners were fantastic to work with and very responsive with any questions we had!!

It was everything our family could have hoped for. Kim and her family were extremely accommodating. Navigation on and off the island can be a bit tricky. But there are ways that it can be done.

Excellent from start to finish. Hosts were very friendly and helpful with all questions we had. The house was perfect. Fully stocked with comfy beds and decorated very nicely. We caught crabs off of the dock and did a crab boil which was one of our favorite nights. Nights around the fire pit with s’mores were so much fun. The house is new and fresh. An A+ vacation spot!

Great Spring Break

Great Spring Break

We have stayed at other Goat Island properties in the past and this was by far the cleanest and well appointed. Fire pit, lights, dock, porch and open kitchen/LR were easily enjoyed by all 10 of us at the same time. Couple of small issues with dryer not working and a water leak were responded to promptly by the owner. Could not get the gas grill to work but no biggie. Do not swim from dock even at high tide - first person that jumped in got 56 stitches in his foot from the oyster beds. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
