After a long day of traveling, I arrived at Carolina Elegance tense and frazzled. I immediately poured myself a glass of wine and went to sit by the pool and instantly felt so peaceful at this home. The sport pool design with the volleyball net, pool lights of varying colors and seating in the yard was a perfect place to relax outside. The owner also had pool toys on hand for those traveling with children. As I explored the home, all of the bedrooms were so inviting, it was hard to choose the perfect one for my stay. All of the décor was impeccable and the sheets and beds were a dream. Some had great views, some had balconies and plenty of rooms with their own bathrooms. A large room upstairs with two queen beds was perfect for traveling with children and it had it's own media room with all of the latest gaming systems. As a mother of two boys to keep busy it was perfect! The rest of the house has several spaces to enjoy family and friends for relaxing as a group or having a meal together. There are nooks and balconies on each level so everyone can be together or break off for those perfect down time moments. As we settled in it was clear that the owner knows exactly what to provide to make the experience perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials you would ever need to cook a meal or entertain a group. It was better stocked than my own kitchen at home. The charging docks for all of your electronics was a great touch and made recharging convenient for everyone. There were TV's in most rooms with access to all the movies channels and stations you would need to unwind after a long day exploring the island. The house is close to great restaurants (you must visit Acme Lowcountry Kitchen and Coda del Pesce) and beach access but also only 15 minutes from Charleston. We were able to get the best of both experiences. This rental was by far one of the best I have ever stayed in with regards to charm, comfort and amenities. I would definitely recommend this rental to friends and family. read more

I stayed with a group at Carolina Elegance from 4/18/17-4/24/17. What an amazing rental! The owner just put in an in ground pool which was beautiful and refreshing!! There was even a volleyball net and volleyball provided for us. Overall, the house was inviting, comfortable, and well stocked with amenities! We all had more than enough towels, toilet paper, and shower necessities for our visit. The washer and dryer in the home was an added bonus. Our group spent the majority of our inside time at the wrap around granite kitchen counter. Perfect gathering place for everyone! The rest of the house provide plenty of space and privacy- just in case you needed to steal a moment away for yourself or relax and enjoy a different view or the amazing smell of jasmine from one of the many decks. I was initially worried about being on an island and secluded, but realized that the grocery store was literally down the street, and the beach was only 3 minutes away by golf cart. Would absolutely stay here again with friends or family, and we are so glad that we chose Carolina Elegance for our relaxing April getaway!! read more

Everything about this house makes for a perfect vacation. Our family of 10 (plus one baby:) spent 5 days at our favorite place on earth....IOP. We have visited IOP for the last 20 years and this was our first time staying at Carolina Elegance. For starters Karen is the most attentive host we have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. She checked on us (remotely) soon after our arrival to be sure everything was as promised and then throughout the week to be sure we were finding enough to do. Unfortunately it did rain quite a bit during our stay but there was plenty to do at the house for the kids as well as the pool (heck they were going to be wet anyway...right?!?!). We made pretty elaborate dinners every evening and there was not a utensil, pot or pan that we could not find. The charcoal and gas grills are a real plus. Karen has thought through every detail that is needed on a vacation including supplying 2 wagons and beach chairs. The walk to the beach is easy even with smaller children in tow. Carolina Elegance may just be our new summer vacation house! read more

Just home after a wonderful 10 day stay at Carolina Elegance North. This was one of the nicest beach homes our family has rented. Location was great, with only a 3 minute walk to the beach and the 'double gated' neighborhood within Wild Dunes was really nice. Backyard pool area was the highlight - really nice pool with lights, volleyball net, and beautiful landscaping. The house was extremely well equipped for a comfortable stay, both inside and out. Inside: nice kitchen with everything we needed, attractive décor, and great layout. Outside: beach chairs, carts, umbrellas, pool/beach toys galore, generous and comfortable patio furniture. Gas grill was very convenient. We also rented the electric golf cart and bikes, which made it very fun to explore the Wild Dunes resort area and its lovely bike paths. Karen was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We booked direct through Karen and it worked out great. read more

We stayed here with two other families and we were blown away. The location was perfect. We all have children and they are doing virtual school right now which worked out because the house has so many different areas for us to separate them during school time. WE also took them on scavenger hunts around the islands looking for different shells and birds because the area has so many of both. We rented the golf cart that Carolina Elegance had for rent and we also heated the pool because the nights were still cool and the water wasn't warm enough yet. We cooked outside on the gas grill and enjoyed all of the space to play outside. There is a huge room where all of the kids slept and they loved the toys and books and games. It seems like they ha things for all ages because our kids range in age from 6 months to 12 years old. They even had a pack and play. We already booked two weeks in the summer. read more

We had such an amazing time visiting Karen's beautifully decorated home with a hot tub and pool on the lovely Isle of Palms. The location was perfect (3 minute walk to your own private beach, 20 minute drive to downtown Charleston, very close to many restaurants and grocery stores). We also enjoyed the golf cart for getting around the neighborhood to the parks, golf courses, tennis courts, restaurants and shops which was a wonderful break from the day to day or normal life. The home was fully stocked with beach equipment, pool toys, towels, air hockey, bikes, cooking utensils, an Alexa to play our music, huge tvs in all rooms, etc we could not have asked for more. Karen was also very attentive to any questions that came up while we were there and we plan to go back as much as we can in the future. read more

Stayed at Carolina Elegance for a golf trip weekend. We had a big group. The first thing that stood out to us was the impeccable conditions of the house and how comfortable it is. Everyone had their own comfortable bed and the bathrooms are very spacious. It is also very convenient as the house has everything you need. Fully equipped kitchen, great amenities such as a grill, patio, balconies, volleyball net, pool, very short walk to the beach, etc. The location is also perfect. We were close to really great golf courses and a short ride into downtown Charleston where the restaurants are incredible. I would definitely recommend Carolina Elegance for any big group that is looking to play some golf and have a great time in the Charleston, SC area! read more

We stayed at the four bedroom property and enjoyed it very much. The house has one bedroom on the main floor and three on the upper floor. The house has pretty much everything you will need and is definitely a home away from home - fully stocked kitchen, TVs in almost every room, good Wifi (with extender for whole house coverage)... It was clean and entirely appropriate for family with kids. The house is on a very quiet street and is easy to find; use exact address in google maps. Our hosts were very helpful and welcomed us on arrival. The pool is great and is overlooked by a spacious balcony which connects to the kitchen. The beach is a short walk from the house and the garage has no shortage of beach equipment. Definitely recommended. read more

Amazing property, great for groups and children. Great amenities, location, well stock with everything you need for a perfect vacation. They have thought of everything you could possibly need. You are minutes for great dining and downtown Charleston. Beautifully decorated, well appointed rooms. Private decks to relax and enjoy some quiet time or plenty of seating to sit down for a big family dinner. When you are not enjoying the pool or the sights of Isle of Palms or Charleston you can use the well stocked kitchen to make a great meal or make use of the many TV's or game systems. Really just the perfect set up for a vacation rental, can't wait to get back for another visit!! https://www.yelp.com/biz/carolina-elegance-charleston read more

First of all, we were blown away by the beautiful house when we first pulled up, definitely exceeded our expectations! We were greeted by Stuart who went over the ins and outs of the home and even gave suggestions of local go to spots. The house was fully equipped with baby, kid and adult gear from puddle jumpers and noodles for the pool to a pack and play for infants.. The outside grills were perfect considering we had such a large group and were able to eat in as much as we wanted. The entire family enjoyed the pool every single day with some memorable volleyball games! We will definitely be returning to Carolina Elegance and we will for sure recommend to friends and family! Thank you for everything Karen! read more

This is a beautifully appointed house with all of the conveniences of home. It is a perfect place for a relaxing get away with friends and family. The kitchen has everything you need with a cozy living room nearby. There is a great island with barstools to sit around and laugh while visiting. The two dining tables near the kitchen and more seating throughout the house allows a place for everyone to sit and enjoy Lowcountry cuisine. Each bedroom has comfortable bed(s) with more than enough bathrooms. Must mention that the entire house is so clean and very well taken care of! And........the pool......like icing on the cake. I highly recommend Carolina Elegance. read more

We rented this home for a girls weekend getaway and it was AMAZING! The home is updated and decorated beautifully, plenty of space and on suite bathrooms in all bedrooms. Perfect touches for the frequent traveler too; charging stations, contemporary touches such as Amazon Alexa (great for tunes), smart TV's in all rooms to access your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon TV accounts. The home is stocked with kitchenware; pots, plates, glassware, perfect for a nice dinner in. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing day & night, plenty of chairs and tables for dining outside. The beach is a short walk, beautiful neighborhood in a gated community! We will be back! read more

Our family of 13 loved our vacation at this amazing location home. We had plenty of room for the entire family to gather and enough rooms for small chill and relaxing visits. The kitchen has all your needs and all beds were comfortable with TV in each. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and plenty of lawn furniture for all while cooking on the Weber grill. We enjoyed the golf carts to ride around the island and take our chairs to the beach even if it is only a short walk. The home is only 20 minutes to Charleston which we really enjoyed. We highly recommend this beautiful home. We booked direct through Karen and she was great to work with. read more

This beautiful home was very comfortable to spend a long weekend just relaxing. As a person that loves to cook I greatly appreciated the well apportioned kitchen in which I was preparing meals for 10 people. Everything was very clean and in great working order in the house. The swimming pool was very clean despite that a hurricane skirted this area just a week earlier. There were enough little areas one could easily find solitude when ir was needed. I highly recommended this home for a vacation. My only regret is that we only had 5 days and 4 nights here this time. read more

Everything about the house was fantastic. The pool with the volley ball was a big hit. The backyard has great landscaping and is perfect for hanging around all day. Two gas grills and charcoal grill can be used for BBQ and chefs kitchen to prepare meals for large groups. The house is also less than 5 minute walk to a nice beach. For those who like to golf Wild Dunes is close by and the Links course was amazing. The whole street and location is very peaceful and relaxing get away. We had a great stay and hope to visit again! read more

What a fantastic home. We spent a week here with my adult siblings and nieces/nephews and had a total family bonding experience. There is a well stocked kitchen, TVs in all bedrooms and common areas with cable, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. We talked, played games, told stories from years gone by and walked on the beach. We even paid to heat the pool and the kids were thrilled to swim and play volleyball in the new pool. The owner was amazing to work with and kept in contact whenever we needed anything. read more

Stayed here with a big group of friends for a long weekend and the house was perfect. The inside is very comfortable and nice, with tons of space for sleeping and a great kitchen that has everything you need; there's also two big gas grills. The pool area in the back and side yard were awesome for hanging out and playing games all day. Around the general area of the house, you can easily get to places like the beach, golf courses, and grocery stores. Would definitely recommend staying here! read more

Loved staying at this well maintained home! Amazing location. All the amenities from beach supplies to heated pool were a large plus. We had 11 people and everyone had space to chill and relax. The kitchen had everything to BBQ and space to hang out while cooking. This house is very close to restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed the Charleston Food and Wine Festival and took Uber to and from the event. We will be back again with friends and family! read more

What's not to love? This is a fabulous and nicely maintained beach home, ideal for a getaway with family or friends. The owners have thought of everything--there's even an elevator perfect for accessibility and convenience! If cooking is your passion, you'll love the gourmet kitchen. The fenced-in yard is attractively landscaped, the home is beautifully decorated, and the location is close to shopping, dining, and the beach. read more
