Dog-friendly Cottage! 3/30 night stays year-round! 7 Night/Monthly Discounts!
SHIAWA-SEA COTTAGE, LLC, is a Pet (Dog)-Friendly, 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 Dog your Fee will be $10 per Pet (2 maximum) 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 46 (and counting!) years.

Comfortable historic cottage in great location on Isle of Palms. I've been coming to IOP for over twenty years and this has been my favorite location to stay on the island.
Throughly enjoyed our week at the beach. Loved the cottage and it was convenient to everything we wanted. Easy walk to beach. The porch was perfect for naps on the hammock.
Overall the property was awesome with a lot of character. location was excellent and walkable to the beach. our host was great and we enjoyed our stay.
This is our 2nd time staying here! Great location, clean and exactly what is described. Will definitely be back again!!

I liked the location and parking was perfect. It was truly a pet friendly home. Beach access was very convenient, a short walk away. Looking forward to staying here again in the near future. Enjoyed using the outdoor shower to keep the sand outside.
This is a quintessential beach cottage. The proximity to the beach is great - about a 5 minute walk. The decor is fun - so many things to look at and discover the owner’s travels and family. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fenced back yard was great for our dogs. Checking in and out was a breeze.
Very clean accommodations.owner supplied many more things than I thought! Location was perfect. A short walk to the beach.
The screened in porch was heavenly.
Enjoyed this stay Very much!
Owner was very friendly & the house was perfect for our getaway for my mother’s 80th birthday. Short walk to the beach & away from the massive crowds further down the beach. House was bery clean & had everything we needed.
Well appointed with all the cooking and dining accessories you’d ever need for a memorable stay. Close walk to the beach; the porch hammock is a must to use when chilling or for overall relaxing!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to vacationing here again in the near future!
Adorable cottage, very comfortable for 3 adults and a dog. Perfect location, just a short walk to the beach. Close to groceries and restaurants. The host was very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.
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.
We had a great time here. It’s a block off the beach in a quiet area. Screened porch was our favorite. Beds were comfortable. Owner was very responsive and great to work with. Location on Isle of Palm was fantastic—about 25 minutes to downtown Charleston and only 10 minutes to Mount Pleasant. We look forward to coming back!
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.
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.
As advertised! Hidden gem amongst highly priced properties. If not expecting the most luxury updated property than this is it. They have made nice touches with hot tub and pool and outdoor shower. Also the screened porch was nice!
We really enjoyed our stay, Marilyn made us feel at home and checked to make sure everything was fine upon arrival. My wife and I stayed with our two dogs and the neighborhood and surrounding area is dog friendly. The house has a swimming pool and two screened in porches which we enjoyed and the location is great. Th e neighborhood is quiet and everyone friendly. The house is less than 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to Sullivans Island and Charlestown. We would definitely stay there again.
Fun time! Back for a 3rd stay. Marilyn is a great host! Friendly and responsive. Cottage is clean, comfortable and close to all the best shops and restaurants. Easy beach access too. Perfect size for 2-4. Thx again. 😎
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.
