Our family of 10 loves Charleston, and we love the Isle of Palms even more. This home is in a perfect location on the island. Very quiet, and only a 3 minute walk to the beach. The house is exactly as advertised and is beautiful from bottom to top. The views from the rooftop deck are amazing. There was plenty of room for our entire family to spread out and have our own space. The pool was wonderful. The house was clean. And Marian, the owner, was always available and wonderful to work with each time we had a question. We had a fantastic family vacation and will be staying at Carolina In My Mind again in the future! I highly suggest this property for a perfect family beach getaway!

This is the second year in a row we have stayed at Marian's house for an annual trip our family of 11 (parents, kids, and grandkids) take to Isle of Palms. It is such an important trip to our group and this house is perfect for us - spacious, amazing location, great pool and yard, really nice design of bedroom spaces. The house is exactly as advertised and Marian is a very gracious host. We are planning to be back again next year again!

First class accommodations! Everything you need. The kitchen was fully equiped, the pool was fantastic after a long day at the beach. The owner has this place set up for relaxation. The ice machine was fantastic to have at a beach house. The whole family just loved it.

This was our fourth stay at Carolina in my Mind and it’s always a great experience. The home is clean, well stocked and maintained. I also appreciate the one simple checkout instruction to load and start the dishwasher as we are leaving. Highly recommend!

Great location, beautiful home, nice amenities. We appreciated the available beach chairs and cabana.

Spacious house in a nice location. Great for a family.

Kemp Family - Thank you so much for allowing us to share our Daughter’s Wedding weekend at your home on IOP. What a spectacular House with a warm feeling on home. We loved the home, each room having its own Bathroom, plenty of space for our family with Grandparents to spread out. A Weekend in IOP we will never forget. Highly Recommended for anyone visiting IOP in Charleston, SC.

We had a great family vacation at this house for my mom’s 70th birthday. The house is beautifully maintained, in a great location and has everything you need to hit the ground running. We took advantage of the many beach chairs, towels, coolers and wagons provided for our short walks to the beach. The backyard area and pool are also great and we enjoyed many afternoons back there. Marian is a highly responsive and accommodating host who made the check in process seamless and quickly answered any questions we had during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you visit Isle of Palms and we would gladly come back for a future stay.

This was one of the best rental properties we've ever stayed at in our over 25 years of renting vacation homes. Our entire family really enjoyed the large open family room and gourmet kitchen. The extra long dining room table allowed us to enjoy not only some great local takeout, but each others company as well. The bedrooms were great with comfy beds, high-end linens and private en suites. The heated pool, multi-level decks with seating, and beautiful neighborhood only one black from the beach were the icing on the cake. We were planning our next stay before 2 days before we left(:

We had an amazing stay at the Kemp beach house for a long weekend in Charleston! The house is gorgeous, very clean and extremely well stocked. It was so close to the beach and has lots of space to hang out and enjoy the ocean breeze. The host was super responsive and made everything easy. We wanted to never leave.

Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation home for our annual girls trip. The photos don’t do it justice! The house is absolutely stunning and so thoughtful stocked with everything from toiletries to kitchen supplies. We loved the outdoor area and took full advantage of the heated pool and grill. Being in walking distance to the beach was also a huge plus.

The house was outstanding and could not ask for more. It was actually better than the pictures shown. Clean, updated and perfect for entertaining. Everything you could ask for and more. Host was extremely responsive and we cannot wait for our next visit.

This was our second stay at the property and it was just as wonderful as the first time! The owner/manager provided everything we needed and more. The house is beautiful and very comfortable, also in a great location close to the beach. We loved staying there and would return in a heartbeat!

No complaints, this house was great! Plenty of space nice bedrooms, we absolutely loved it!

We really enjoyed your stay here. The house was beautiful and in a perfect location! The pictures do not even do it justice! Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly, highly recommend !!

We had the best time at this home! Everything was so beautifully decorated and home. We loved curling up on the couch (plenty of blankets) with the fireplace on. This place had one of the best stocked kitchens for cooking and entertaining. Hope we can be back soon!

I rented this house with a group of friends for a girls weekend. The home is even more stunning in person (if that’s even possible) and beautifully located near the beach and close to downtown. The house was spotless and cleaned exceptionally well. The pool and the views were fantastic! Highly recommend booking for your next stay on IOP!

Our stay truly exceeded our expectations. The home was clean, stocked with everything we needed, and generally exactly as described. We especially loved the deck views and short walk to the beach. Marian was a wonderful host. We look forward to hopefully being back in the future!

Booked this property for a large friend group’s weekend away and everyone loved it. The group is mostly women and the amount of bathrooms was perfect, there’s plenty of space even with a full house. The rooftop deck at sunset is a must, and being walking distance from the beach but also having a pool available makes it so that everyone is happy. I had a very easy time getting in contact with the property manager even on a holiday weekend, if I ever come back to Charleston (hopefully we do) I would definitely book here again.

We had a fabulous family trip with our two children, their spouses and our three grandchildren. The property is gorgeous, very clean and well stocked. Highly recommend.

Our family of three generations, ages 5 through 71, had a fabulous time on our vacation in IOP at this beautiful home. The house was perfect for us, we loved the large, open kitchen, dining and family room and also the comfortable bedrooms, each with its own bath. The beach was two blocks away, it was beautiful and never crowded; we especially enjoyed taking early walks there at sunrise. The small pool in the backyard was also a plus. The kitchen was well-equipped although we used it mostly for breakfast because vacation means eating out, doesn’t it? There were lots of good restaurants in the area. We loved Acme Low Country Kitchen and Home Team BBQ for the family, and Obstinate Daughter (fabulous anniversary dinner) and Leon’s in Charleston, for the adults. Thanks to our host, Marian, for being available for any questions we had and making our 50th anniversary celebration special.

The property is well appointed, with attractive decor and furnishings. Super kitchen and open den area. Swimming pool convenient, with plenty of privacy. Beach one street away. Comfortable in every way.

Our entire group was very impressed by the property and the amenities it includes. The check out process was simpler than any other place we have stayed. Thank you for helping us make memories together!

We spent a third summer vacation week at Carolina In My Mind and it's become our go-to at IOP! An awesome house with an ideal location for us. Marian is a wonderful host which makes for a five star experience. Highly recommend!

Carolina On My Mind was fully appointed with all the extras, and the host was very attentive and accommodating. The upstairs porch has a great view of the ocean. It was a very short walk to the beach, and our family made some great memories. We highly recommend this house!

Marian was a great host and her home was perfect for a relaxing week in Isle of Palms. Perfect location and gorgeous property.

This home was spectacular in every way - exquisite decor, amenities, comfortable, location and so much more! Literally only had to bring our clothing, shoes & food. Marian has the home stocked for ultimate convenience and she was super responsive to all of our questions. We will be back!

I give this house 4.8 stars. This is such a great beach house. It’s very spacious with views of the ocean from the 2nd floor balcony and widows walk. The house comes very well stocked with high quality linens and towels, beach supplies, and kitchen needs. It’s a short walk to the 5th Avenue beach access. The only reasons I did not give it 5 stars was that it echoed a bit too much (nothing a few more runners in the entryway and upstairs couldn’t fix). Also we could not figure out how to get the fridge any cooler. We were not able to use the backyard area due to active landscaping on 2 days and I had to sweep off the patio the first day due to landscaping debris which shouldn’t happen when you pay this much. When I brought this to the owner’s attention she was very responsive, apologetic and gave a small refund for inconvenience. Things like this happen so it wasn’t really a big deal. None of these things would prevent us from staying again and we are already considering booking for next year! Overall I highly recommend this lovely home!

This house is an absolutely incredible find! The location and area are superb with easy beach access. The house itself is gorgeous and so well maintained. Marian had everything we could possibly need - including kitchen gadgets, bedding, towels, and beach/pool supplies. The heated pool is lovely and made for some magnificent evenings. The elevator is very convenient. The views from the top deck are superb. Marian was very accommodating when we asked for an early check-in and went out of her way to make it happen. I would absolutely come back to stay here again in the future and would recommend others to do the same!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable, spacious, great location to both the beach and all Sullivans and IOP has to offer. Exactly as advertised. Hope to be back.

Carolina in My Mind is a spacious, warm and welcoming home. Five friends and I stayed 3 nights and we had plenty of space. We enjoyed the pool area, cocktails on the rooftop deck and the comfy living area. One night we had a chef come in to prepare a meal for us. He was very pleased with the quality of the kitchen appliances and all the cooking tools. Location is ideal. A two minute walk to the broad beach and a quick drive to the grocery store and all the restaurants on Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island. We appreciated the comfortable beds, plush towels, the elevator and the art and decor. Marion was easy to communicate with and that made our stay even more relaxed.

We absolutely loved our stay in your house. When we first entered, we all looked at each other and commented how we didn't need to plan any excursions, we could just stay in the house. We did plan a number of outings, so we didn't have time to take advantage of all that was there. We wish we had time to enjoy the beautiful pool. We also wanted to play corn hole but didn't have time. We did eat on the roof top deck and enjoy the sunrise and sunset. We cooked in the wonderful kitchen and sat at the dining room table. We used the wagon and brought the beach chairs that were supplied to the beach which was just minutes away. One thing we wish we had was more hangers. Also, the sink in the whale room has a very slow drain. Thank you for giving us a memory we will never forget! Diane, Lyndsey, Lisa, Sue and Phyllis
