Welcome to your dream beach escape at 30 Beachside Drive on the beautiful Isle of Palms! Imagine this: you're just a minute's stroll from the sand, and when you get back, you're greeted by a stunning, newly renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom haven. Step inside and feel the immediate sense of space and light, thanks to gorgeous new floors that gleam throughout. This isn't just a house; it's your ticket to one of the most convenient and charming spots on the island. You're literally minutes from the IOP Connector bridge, making trips to local restaurants and the grocery store a breeze. Plus, a quick golf cart ride lands you on the shores of Sullivan's Island!
This community is the real deal when it comes to laid-back living. You've got private beach access, a sparkling community pool, and even tennis/pickleball courts to keep you active. And the best part? No through traffic means you can truly escape the summer crowds and enjoy your slice of paradise in peace. This is a place where the whole family, furry friends included, can make unforgettable memories.
Inside, the primary suite is your personal oasis, complete with a plush king bed, a private bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower, and French doors that open onto a relaxing screened porch. Your guests will be just as comfortable, with a second bedroom boasting another king bed and glimpses of the ocean, and a third bedroom ready for slumber parties with two twin beds and trundle options. The second bathroom is conveniently located between these rooms, right next to the laundry area.
Evenings are for unwinding. Gather in the large, open-plan living and dining area, perfect for catching up or enjoying a movie on the big TV by the beautiful fireplace. The kitchen is a chef's delight, fully equipped with high-end appliances, ready for you to whip up delicious meals. And for the ultimate family hangout, head downstairs to the fantastic screened area – it's the perfect spot for games, grilling, or simply kicking back with a good book. This is coastal living at its finest!
Outside, you'll find a spacious sundeck with a Gas Grill, where you can cook up meals in the ocean breeze or sit back and enjoy the sunshine with your favorite book. Up above off the open-air deck and living room, there is a screened-in porch furnished with a bistro set, and also a beach shower down below in the garage area for an easy rinse-off — everything you could want for a beach vacation! As an additional bonus, when you stay at 30 Beachside Dr, you get access to community amenities, such as the pool and tennis court. The community pool is not heated and is open yearly from April 1 to October 1 depending on the weather.

Very good

We had a wonderful stay! House was pleasantly better than we read in reviews. Yes it’s older but it’s clean and nice! Great location, short walk to beach. We injoyed playing ping pong and corn hole in the back yard
30 beachside
What’s great about about this property is the easy access to the beach and shopping/restaurants. We walked almost everywhere. There’s lots of parking and the response to a maintenance issue with wi-if was addressed quickly if not fixed. We did receive a discount as a result. We were thrilled to be able to bring our husky on the trip, and appreciate that pets were allowed. What’s not so great is the overall shabbiness of the property. Everything is old and in need of an upgrade. That said, we loved the ease of staying so close to everything! If you’re not expecting perfection, it will serve you well!
Very comfortable, and just a short, safe walk to the beach. The grocery store is also very close and we walked to it. The little community of Beachside is sweet and was very quiet over the holiday.

Needs a lot of TLC
The location was good, the neighborhood is very quiet, plenty of parking, and the grill was nice to have, plus it had a spare propane tank. But the house needs lots of repairs and updating. The kitchen was very poorly stocked. And there were NO linens for the pull out sofa bed. If you had a dog that liked to jump, it would have taken out the backyard fence in a skinny minute. I would not have actually called that a fenced in backyard.
To summarize our stay in a single word it would be "comfortable". When you walked in it felt like someplace you wanted to stay. Not luxurious. Not rundown. Comfortable. Easy access to the beach which is a short walk away, 3 or 4 minutes. Sitting out on the deck one can hear the surf. Fenced in back yard that was great for our 2 dogs. Will definitely be coming back.

One Big Plus, One Big Negative
We really liked the location for the price. We did not have to cross any busy streets to get to the beach.
One big negative is that the listing stated that there is a king bed in bedroom #1 - it's a queen. Bedroom #2 is a queen. #3 is two twins.
There are three different coffee makers (we like our coffee.) One is a pod type. One is a "5" cup (really more like 2 cup.) the third was a large Mr. Coffee but with no carafe - useless.
Cobwebs in the bathrooms and ground-in dirt on the floors.
We had a couple of cool evenings and would have loved to use the gas fireplace - gas turned off, so it's not the feature the pictures represent.
Kitchen cabs appear to be original and run down.
Still, overall, we enjoyed the stay. It's a nice, quiet development with no throuh-traffic.

housekeeping and state of repairs
This was the most dissapointing rental for our family in 30 years. the house was NOT clean. the kitchen floor was filthy and the cookware was just awful. You cannot expect a repeat visit when the dishes and pots look like they were not cleaned. A kitchen cabinet door fell apart and the repairman who came just took it away and did not return. The amount of dirt under the rugs could be swept up with a trowel. I will under no circumstances recommend the rental or Rental agency to anyone. Horrible!!!!

Great beach house, family friendly.
Location was great with easy beach access. Charming and comfortable, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. However the house needs some owner attention to the details - locks and lights that don’t work, bathrooms need a deep clean, outlet faceplate missing, no way to open large blind and AC in one of the bedrooms didn’t cool well. Master toilet didn’t flush well. Last, there were extra bed pillows but no pillow cases.

Warm and cozy home
We have stayed at 6 houses in Beachside over the years. This home is by far our favorite.
Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, and overall cozy feel to home, not to mention it is dog friendly. We will stay here again.

Great location! Disappointed with customer service.
This house was really nice and a superb location. Just a couple minutes walk from the beach or pool, and close to lots of local restaurants. (Many of them walkable by the beach). It's only a 25 minute drive to Charleston as well and we enjoyed exploring that city as well.
What was disappointing, is that on Monday morning we woke up to water all over the kitchen floor and everything was melted in the freezer. It appeared that the refrigerator was broken as well. We had lost all our groceries and had to go buy another round of food. We called the property management company and did not receive a callback until Tuesday. At that point they said they would send someone out to fix it. Fortunately, the fridge started working again on its own so we put our groceries back in, but then broke again the next morning! On Wednesday we had not heard back about getting it fixed so we called again. They said someone would be there on FRIDAY! We told them we had lost 2 loads of groceries due to the issue and they advised us to buy ice and use the cooler in the garage. Meanwhile it would be 4 days since we called that they were able to attempt to fix the issue.
It truly was a wonderful vacation and the house/neighborhood/location was perfect for our family, but this was a poor experience on the service side of things.

Great location and priced perfectly!
We booked this house very last minute for an end of summer get away and loved that we were able to stay from Tuesday-Sunday rather than booking an entire week. The three bedrooms were perfect for our family and we loved the location with pool and beach access. If I had to come up with one complaint - I would say that the master bed wasn't all that comfortable - but I guess that's just a personal preference. We definitely recommend this location!

Great location and neighborhood!
I was immediately impressed with the Beachside neighborhood. All homes are well maintained, and the residents were friendly. It was an easy walk to the beach, pool, and tennis courts. I was especially relieved that the property was on the beach side of Palm Blvd. (no crossing of heavy traffic) and had its own private beach access. The inside of the house, however, had minor disappointments. The bedrooms and baths were very nice and comfortable, but the kitchen is so overloaded with dishes and other wares that there was no room to store or prepare food. There is no need for that many items for a house that only sleeps 6-8 people. Living/dining room is also cluttered with tables, magazines, and outdated/dirty
furniture. I was pleased to see a fenced in yard for dogs and a wagon with beach chairs.

Loved our 1st SC visit!!
Great location and easy access to beach. Nice to have open and covered porch. Enjoyed having beginning sundries to get us started, and to have linens and towels provided-we drove 12 hours so it was nice not to have to lug that with us!!
Beautiful house with open floor plan-would definitely return to the area.
