The Turning Point: March 2020 |

Just as the world was changing, so was the future of IOP Escapes. In March 2020, Amy joined the team, bringing her expertise in marketing and business administration from the University of Florida, along with over 25 years of experience in the Charleston area. Her focus on managing bookings and creating a strong web presence would prove instrumental in the company's growth. |
Official Launch: 2021 |

In 2021, IOP Escapes was officially founded with 16 properties under management. The timing couldn't have been better, as travelers were seeking safe, private vacation experiences in beautiful coastal destinations. The team's commitment to personalized service, local knowledge, and exceptional guest experiences quickly set them apart in the competitive vacation rental market. | ||
Rapid Growth and Expansion |
The growth has been nothing short of remarkable. From those initial 16 properties in 2021, IOP Escapes has expanded to manage 60 properties by 2025. This growth reflects not just the increasing demand for Isle of Palms vacation rentals, but also the trust that property owners place in the IOP Escapes team. The company now employs 10 dedicated team members, each bringing their unique expertise and passion for hospitality to ensure every guest experience exceeds expectations. From Sean's local knowledge and passion for the area, to Amy's marketing expertise, to Jeremy's operational excellence, the team has built something truly special. |
