because we're down here in Iowa palms today we're gonna shoot a
video and we've got storms north and south of us so we're gonna
get through this because I've got a dedication to you to put
out videos
What's up everybody welcome back as always I'm Bill Olson your
favorite YouTubing Charleston realtor straight today we are
hopefully dodging the rain down on aisle of poems. Now, as
usual, let's start with the where and the what Iowa poems is
No, I love poems is located off of Northern Mount Pleasant, and
we're just across breech inlet from Sullivan's Island. But
these islands couldn't be any more different. The Isle of
Palms is about four and a half square miles of high land. And
they do allow short term rentals and that makes it one of the
most popular vacation destinations in the area. And
not just because of that, but it has the biggest commercial
district of all the islands basically when you get onto the
island, you don't need to leave is the only one with a grocery
store. And let's talk a little bit about the real estate here
on the island. There are two different types of homes that
you've got your your primary residences and your vacation
homes and a lot of them you can tell from the outside or just
how many bedrooms they have their son that have eight
bedrooms, most likely going to be a rental. And then the other
section of the island is Wild Dunes. Now that is the northern
about two and a half square miles of the island. Now that is
a gated resort community. So it is a Hyatt resort. So they do
have hotels in there. But you can also buy single family homes
and condos in there, which is very popular for people to do if
they want to rent them out. And one of the drawers for either
vacationing or owning a home in Wild Dunes is there are two Tom
Fazio designed golf courses and a plethora of amenities. And
you've got access to the beach and the intercostal waterway.
And when it comes to the islands with the public beaches, so I'll
upon Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach, you're going to find the
biggest mix of condos to single family homes here on Iowa palms.
Now part of that does have to do with what you can get in Wild
Dunes. But also along the commercial district. There are a
lot of smaller boutique either hotels and inns, or as some
people call them like condo hotels where you can buy a 400
square foot, one bedroom condo right on the beach, and it's
going to run you about $500,000 at the time of this filming, but
it's the only beach that really offers that so down here on
Ocean Boulevard is the main commercial beachy district of
Isle of Palms. And then over there again, you've got your
grocery store and everything else you will need. But there
are some bonuses, some pros and some cons of down here. Now, the
good news is you've got all of this to do. You've got beach
access, there's the Windjammer you can go see concerts with the
ocean as your backdrop, which is super cool. And Ben and Jerry's,
you can get pizza. This is what draws families here, however,
and Andre and I can attest to this two day, parking is
horrible. Down here. Everything in the middle here is pay to
park, you've got to fight to find your parking spots. And
we've got these guys lined up behind me for probably one
parking spot. So if you're coming down here, whether you
move here and you want to visit or you're vacationing here, give
yourself plenty of time to find that parking spot and be
prepared to pay it's not too expensive, but it is something
that you need to consider. We're going to head out before this
rain starts we've started to get a few drops on us. So I am so
glad that we got this video done for you hope you enjoyed it. And
