Is this the best family condo in Forest Beach for you?
It's a strong fit if your priorities are no stairs inside, separate suites for the adults, and walking to the park and the beach without a car. Forest Beach is the walkable, non-gated part of the island's south end, close to Coligny Beach Park.
If you want to be right on the sand, choose an oceanfront complex instead. 13 Beach Stop is about a 9 to 10 minute walk from Coligny Beach Park, not beachfront. In exchange you get a single-story, ground-floor home next to the island's big new park, with a community pool and lagoons on site and tennis across the street.
Walking distance to Coligny Beach Park and Celebration Park
- To Coligny Beach Park: about a 9 to 10 minute walk.
- To Lowcountry Celebration Park (94 Pope Ave): about a 2-minute walk. The listing describes direct access to the park.
- To the Van Der Meer Tennis Center: across the street.
- Free driveway parking for 2 vehicles. Once you've parked, most days don't need the car.
Ground floor, no stairs inside: good for young kids, grandparents and strollers
13 Beach Stop is a single-story, ground-floor end unit with no stairs inside: no upstairs bedrooms and no elevator to wait for. From the parking lot there is one small curb-height step, about 2 inches, up to the building's perimeter walkway. From there the path to the door is level. That makes it easy with toddlers, a stroller, a pack-and-play or grandparents.
- Crib available.
- Bathtubs for little ones: Primary Suite 2 and the guest bathroom both have a tub/shower combo.
- Room-darkening shades for naps.
- Self check-in with a smart lock, so there's no key handoff after a long drive.

Forest Beach vs Sea Pines vs Palmetto Dunes for families
- Forest Beach (where 13 Beach Stop is): not gated, walkable and close to Coligny's beach, shops and restaurants. Lowcountry Celebration Park is right next to 13 Beach Stop. Best if you want to walk to the beach, the playground and dinner without loading the car. The trade-off is busier crowds around Coligny in peak summer.
- Sea Pines: a gated resort community at the south end. Best for biking and nature outings. It's large, so check how far a rental is from the beach.
- Palmetto Dunes: a gated resort community mid-island, built around recreation. Best if the trip centers on resort sports and activities.
For families with young kids who want short walks to the beach and park and a stair-free home base, 13 Beach Stop in Forest Beach is our answer.
