Hello,  I am a Realtor on the beautiful Isle of Palms, SC and I am here to help anyone interested in finding a foreclosure sale of a vacation home. There are many fantastic deals right now of bank-owned properties and many will generate enough rental income to cash-flow. If you have ever wanted to purchase a second home in one of the best beaches and towns on the east coast, now is the time to act! The Isle of Palms is just 15 minutes from downtown historic Charleston. There is so much to see and do here. The average temperature is around 72 degrees. The beaches are most popular Memorial Day through Labor Day, but the best season to come in my opinion is March-May and Oct-Dec. The temperature is milder and the crowds are thinner. You can't beat the scenery of Shem Creek or the Charlesto... 01/28/2009

  The maxim that we always take for granted what we have is appropriate here.  Too often as locals we never take the time to benefit and enjoy the tourist sites that attract thousands each year to our historic city.  When the City of Isle of Palms was informed that it had been certified for the 2007-2008 Blue Wave Season and as such will again be flying the Blue Wave Flag, I was absolutely delighted.  For the sixth year running, this certification has been awarded to the City of Isle of Palms, a testament to the dedication of its residents, public officials and island business owners for the welfare of its pristine beaches.  For those of you living in the Charleston area, take heart.  When I asked around, not one person knew what this meant.  The “Blue Wave Beach” certification is give... 10/23/2007
