From this oceanfront property, six miles of white, sandy beaches beckon just steps outside the The Layne House, which is located on one of the biggest and most private waterfront tons on Isle of Palms. Majestic palmetto trees tower over lush beach vegetation, all swaying to and fro in the breeze.

The kitchen is appointed with high end appliances, gas cooktop, center island that seats four guests and separate breakfast nook, plus seating for eight at the close by dining table. Sliding doors lead to expansive rear decks and the ocean beyond.

The main floor includes three of the home's four bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathrooms. At one end, you'll find a bedroom appointed with a KING bed, TV and private bathroom with walk-in shower. Down a hallway on the opposite side of the main floor living space, you'll find another bedroom appointed with KING bed, also with a TV and private bathroom - shower/tub combo. At the end of this hallway is a bright, coastal-inspired bedroom with 2 QUEEN beds with TV & private bathroom - walk-in shower.

Upstairs you'll find the ultra-private primary suite. Taking up the entire second floor of The Layne House, the roomy and luxe primary suite offers beautiful ocean vistas framed in floor to ceiling windows. With a KING bed, separate sitting area, plus doors that step out to the oceanside deck, and a spa-like bath with extravagant soaking tub and walk-in shower, this is sure to feel like your own private getaway.

You'll appreciate days spent soaking up the sun, surf, and calming tranquility, but The Layne House also offers an idyllic island town experience that the Isle of Palm locals appreciate. Perfectly positioned, this home provides simple access to the best of the lowcountry. Explore the historic appeal of Charleston, the laid-back vibe of Sullivan's Island, and the vibrant shopping and dining of Mount Pleasant—all just a short drive away.

Isle of Palms features some of the most fashionable eateries and cafes east of the Cooper River, and the island offers a wide variety of delicious seafood and other local specialties, including Coda del Pesce, Coconut Joes Beach Grille, Acme Lowcountry Kitchen and the locally appreciated Sea Biscuit Cafe, that serves up only breakfast, but is well worth the wait. You'll find fresh dining options dotted throughout the island, including Long Island Cafe which is located right beside Harris Teeter, The Boathouse, located on the water overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and Islander 71. Located on the point where Morgan Creek meets the Intracoastal Waterway, Islander 71 overlooks the water and has spectacular vistas. When the sun sets and the nighttime is heating up, head to the ever trendy The Windjammer beachfront bar.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Isle of Palms vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Isle of Palms restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Isle of Palms area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best rental in Isle of Palms:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront, Private Pool, Steps to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Isle of Palms rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or might be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
