2026 Beach Update: The City of Isle of Palms is carrying out a beach renourishment project, expected to move along the beach in sections between summer and fall 2026. Because crews work steadily down the shoreline, any impact to a specific area is temporary, and the beach stays open with access outside active work zones. A final schedule hasn't been released yet — we're tracking updates and are happy to provide guidance based on your travel dates. Just reach out, or visit our beach project page on our website for the latest.
 
This is Isle of Palms living at its absolute best.
814 Carolina is Deserving Vacations’ premier private home on the island — a stunning, 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom residence with 4,046 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, a private pool, a hot tub, a rooftop deck with ocean views, and multiple screened-in porches. It’s the kind of property that turns a family vacation into a memory that gets talked about for years.
Located between 8th and 9th Avenue, the home is just a 2-minute walk to the Isle of Palms beach and a 5-minute stroll to Front Beach — putting the island’s best restaurants, shops, live music, and nightlife right at your doorstep. With a private elevator for easy access across all floors, six individual en suite bedrooms, and an expansive common living area, 814 Carolina handles large groups and multigenerational families with effortless grace.
Spend your days rotating between the pool, the beach, and the rooftop deck. Host a dinner on the screened porch. Let the kids run to the shore and back. This is what a real group getaway looks like.
Please note: The fireplace is not available for guest use.

814 Carolina - Private Home! Pool! Roof Top Deck!

Our  five children have gone from "littles" to "bigs" at this house...summer officially starts here for them. The house is perfectly located, well equipped, and can handle a large family with ease. See you again next year!

Home Away From Home

This is a great house. We have been summering in IOP for nearly 15 years- first with 4 school age children and now with 4 adult children and their significant others. This house is perfect for that. There is room for everyone to enjoy some privacy when needed but also come together as a large group. The screened in porch on the main level is wonderful.  We basically rotated from the porch, to the beach, to the pool, repeat.  The management company was quick to respond to any questions- we would definitely stay here again!

June 2024

We were looking for a place to celebrate milestone birthdays - 80, 70, 50, 21 and 18.  Our granddaughter just recently moved to Mt. Pleasant so we decided to celebrate in Isle of Palms.  This house was a dream for the 11 of us that stayed there.  It was so convenient to the beach and the commercial area!  The screened in porches was a plus!  We would stay there again!!!  Thanks to Deserving Vacations for being so helpful along the way!!!

Milestone Birthdays

Our family reunion group included an elder with mobility issues.  The elevator made all the difference.  We appreciated the large common areas as well as the comfortable beds.

All of the above - plus accessibility

We very  much enjoyed our time in this home!  Great location.  Just a few blocks from beach and Isle of Palms restaurants and bars!  Home was beautiful and had everything we needed.   Property Manager was extremely attentive and responsive. Highly recommend!
