Carolina Elegance was the perfect home away from home for our group of 16! We had 8 adults & 8 kiddos (4 & under) stay here for a week & it was a wonderful time. They have stocked the house full of items & toys for children. (Good toys too! Magnatiles, games, dinosaurs, dolls, books, etc. along with a few pack+plays, baby gate & high chairs) The option to heat the pool was so nice for the kids to swim & renting the golf cart is a must (we used it so much & the kids of course loved it!) Everything was easy from the moment we got there. Highly recommend! We can’t wait to go back!!

We just returned from two weeks at Carolina Elegance. Really can't say enough good things about the house and property...and area! The house was more than plenty for our party of 12. The adults took the king bedrooms, and four of the girls took the queen bunk room. For them, that was heaven. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. Karen has labeled the cabinets and drawers, and it makes it easy to find what you need and also know where it goes when emptying the dishwasher. There are TV's everywhere, and you can use them to log on to your favorite streaming sites, like Netflix and Prime. The pool area is fantastic, and the kids loved this part of the house the most. They went in at least once per day. If you are able, rent the six person golf cart from Karen. I think riding in it was my daughters' favorite part of the trip. It's fun to take it down to lunch or dinner. As for beach access, it is really close. Walk north to 2nd Ave and turn towards the beach. You'll see a path next to the pastel blue house. There's also a friendly cat at this house, too. In all, it will take you about three minutes to get to the beach. As for local restaurants that we enjoyed, I would highly recommend Sea Biscuit Cafe. It's a cute little breakfast and lunch place. Good food at good prices. Luke and Ollie's pizza is good but not outstanding. We live in Brooklyn, NY, so the bar for pizza is high! The kids loved the BeardCat on Sullivan's Island for gelato. We had two great meals at Poe's Tavern and The Obstinate Daughter. Bottles in Mt Pleasant has an amazing selection of wine and beer, and the folks working there really know their stuff. Charleston is an easy 25 minutes away, and it's pretty easy to find public parking. If you plan to eat in Charleston, we would suggest you make your plans well in advance. Reservations fill up pretty quickly. Karen, and her husband Mike, were so helpful. Karen and I texted a number of times during our stay, and she was always quick to respond and always helpful. She is a very responsible and conscientious owner. She truly wants her guests to have an amazing experience. In all, we highly recommend a visit to Isle of Palms and enthusiastically support a stay at Carolina Elegance.

We enjoyed our stay on Isle of Palms, the location was convenient to the beach, to Charleston and other attractions. The house was perfect for our extended family group, and the heated pool was a bonus!
