We stayed in Wild Dunes (this is gated), but we also drove into Isle of Palms for groceries and a seafood (little local store across from grocery). There are a number of restaurants in town as well: Acme is a must, others you can look up on TripAdvisor to decide. There is also a little park in IoP and a little town that you can walk around and shop in (has sidewalks). You can also drive into Sullivan's Island directly across the bridge. Downtown Charleston is only about a 25-minute drive as well and is a great place to go on days you don't want to go to the beach. We enjoy the people; they are very friendly and helpful. Be patient if you are driving. There is one road in and one road out in IoP, so open your windows and breathe in the ocean air, driving can be slow, but it is generally moving. This is not a healthy food area; make veggys and salads in your rentals, enjoy the grits+ at the restaurants, then walk that off on the beach.
