Your clan. Your posse. Your people. The folks you feel most comfortable with, whether they’re kin by DNA, or chosen family.
There’s nothing quite like picking a place to gather, all meeting there for a weekend or a week, and hanging out together. These are the times when major life memories are made.
And there is hardly any place on earth more fun to do that, than at the beach.
EP has you covered.
Exclusive Properties is blessed to be located near one of the best beaches around, on one of the coolest islands, near one of the world’s greatest cities.
The Isle of Palms has seven miles of sandy beach along the Atlantic Ocean, all of which is open to the public and just waiting to be enjoyed. The beach is one of the few places where all ages can relax and have fun. You’ve got fresh air, plenty of sunshine, pleasant ocean breezes, peaceful waves and abundant sea life, all the makings of a great vacation.
The IOP runs on what we call “island time;” the pace of life moves just a little bit slower here. Folks wear flip flops everywhere. No need to dress up, unless you want to. Cold beverages abound, from the southern staple sweet tea to more adult libations, and there’s no shortage of places to sip and sit a spell. It’s hard not to instantly relax as soon as your feet hit the isle’s sands.
And to top it all off, you’re just a short drive across scenic waterways into the charm capital of the planet, the Holy City. Charleston – where there’s history everywhere, galleries galore, gorgeous gardens, world class cuisine, festivals and events throughout the year.
We have plenty of room for large groups.
Unlike most other vacation rental companies, Exclusive Properties has homes that can accommodate a lot of folks – up to 28 people, not counting children under two. Our Isle of Palms beach rentals are large enough so everyone can have ample elbow room and privacy when they want it. AND they also feature open floor plan living/dining areas and gourmet kitchens, large pools, and expansive decks where everybody can assemble and have fun. It’s the best of both worlds.
They’re perfect for family reunions, bringing together several generations of your extended family… or a reunion of college friends, or just your best couples/friends, with or without the kids. Why not plan a spa or wellness retreat with your best girlfriends; we can hook you up with some terrific local resources. Our luxury Isle of Palms rentals also make the perfect location for corporate meetings.
By choosing one of our Isle of Palms vacation rentals, you’ll have a major advantage over AirBnb, VRBO et.al. - you get a local professional management company taking care of things before, during and after your stay. We’ll help make sure your stay is the best it can be.
And you might as well be oceanfront…
If you’re going to all the trouble of gathering your peeps, you want it to be as special as possible. So why not stay in a luxury home where the views are THE best, and the beach is right outside your door?
