Our Story
Two Friends. Three Properties. Infinite Good Times.
This isn't a corporation. This is two guys who care deeply about every property they own, who stay in these places themselves, and who can't wait to share them with you.
The Story
Eight Arms was born from a friendship. Two high school buddies who grew up together, stayed close, and discovered they shared a passion for owning properties in the most beautiful places on Earth. Not to flip them. Not to maximize yield on a spreadsheet. To live in them, to love them, and to share that love with anyone who wants to experience something truly special.
This isn't a faceless booking engine with 10,000 listings. This is two friends who care deeply about every property they own, who stay in these places themselves, who know which dock has the best sunset view and which trail will show you an alligator on a Tuesday morning.
We built Eight Arms because we believe vacations should be extraordinary. Not “adequate.” Not “as described.” Extraordinary. And the only way to deliver that is to be personally invested in every single property, every single guest experience, every single detail.
Bulls Bay — Private Dock
Isle of Palms — Gourmet Kitchen
Ocean Blvd — Oceanfront Living
Why “Eight Arms”?
Eight arms means we're doing eight things at once to make your stay perfect. Octopuses are incredibly intelligent — and so is our approach to hospitality. They're playful, curious, and adaptable — just like us.
They live in the ocean, and so do our properties (practically). They're unforgettable — and so is a stay with Eight Arms.
- Eight arms = eight things we're doing at once to make your stay incredible

Our Properties
Three handpicked places we love. In our own words.
#4 46th Avenue
Isle of PalmsIsle of Palms is the most beautiful beach in the world. The sand is wide and clean, the waves are perfect, and the sunrises will make you forget every problem you've ever had. This property is steps from that beach. You'll fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to the kind of morning that makes you wonder why you live anywhere else.
1140 Ocean Blvd #102
Isle of PalmsOceanfront. The real deal. Not “ocean view” — you are ON the ocean. Watch dolphins from your balcony. Let the kids run straight from the door to the sand. This is the kind of place that turns a vacation into a core memory.
Bulls Bay
AwendawBulls Bay fishing flats, oysters right off the dock, White Island birds, bike to Ondal Park for a guaranteed alligator sighting, fire pit under the brightest stars you've ever seen. This isn't a rental — this is an experience. The fishing is legendary, the nature is everywhere, and at night the stars are as bright as anything you've ever seen in your life.
