2min to Beach + Shared Pool + Screened Porch + Ping Pong | Minutes to Charleston - Vacation rental home in Isle of Palms, SC

Tucked into a peaceful pocket of Isle of Palms, 55 Pelican Bay is the kind of beach home that makes you forget what day it is. Step out back and the Pelican Bay community pool is right there — an simple splash before or after beach hours. From there, a private community path leads to the sand in under two mins. — and not just any stretch of beach. This is where the island bends, forming a wide, sweeping point with surf on two sides. It's the kind of spot locals know about and guests rarely forget.

The home itself strikes a rare balance: the footprint of a proper beach home with the soul of a Lowcountry bungalow. A long, deep front porch — a nod to the historic homes of Charleston, just 15 miles up the road — sets the tone before you even walk in. Inside, shiplap walls, soft coastal colors, and thoughtfully chosen furnishings channel the classic Sullivan's Island cottages of the 1800s, refreshed with every modern comfort you'd actually want on vacation.

The kitchen is constructed for real cooking — granite counters, stainless appliances, a Keurig for slow mornings, and room to spread out when it's time to pull together a Lowcountry boil. Dining for six flows into two counter stools, and the screened porch adds another six seats plus a bistro table for two, so meals can move wherever the breeze is best. Fire up the gas grille on the back deck, pour something cold, and settle in.

When the day winds down, four bedrooms are ready with new memory foam beds. The main-floor primary suite has a king bed, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bath with both a walk-in shower and a jetted soaking tub. Upstairs, three bedrooms share the second floor — two with queen beds, one bright and window-wrapped, one overlooking the pool, and the third bedroom with two twin beds tucked at the end of the hall. The two queen bedrooms have their own TVs, and a shared bath sits conveniently between all three.

Beyond the home, Isle of Palms delivers. Charleston's historic district is a 20-min. drive for a day of carriage tours and She Crab soup. Sullivan's Island is a few mins. the other direction for Poe's Tavern and a quieter stretch of sand. Shem Creek's waterfront eateries are close enough for a sunset dinner, and the IOP Marina has everything from dolphin tours to paddleboard units. At the end of Lagoon Road, a public fishing dock offers a low-key way to spend a morning.

A few more reasons to adore it here:

- Shared community pool just behind the home
- Screened porch with lounge and dining seating
- Private covered lounge area
- New ping pong table
- Outdoor shower for post-beach rinses
- High-speed Wi-Fi throughout
- In-unit washer and dryer with direct deck access
