Isle of Palms - #5 24th Avenue

The folks rented a house that was constructed in the 1940's. The cottage had been newly renovated. I did not take a photo of our downstairs bedroom. It was painted in the spirit of the south. The color was "haint" blue. Haint blue is derived from the word haint which is a spirit or a ghost, and in Charleston, many people also paint the trim on their houses blue to ward off evil spirits. The following house exhibits the ability of shedding haunted spirits by painting entry points haint blue.

Well, I did not have evil dreams while sleeping in our haint blue bedroom. (This is not a scientific statement since I never have evil dreams!) Sammy loved the house.

His favorite was, of course, the pool.

Thankfully, the pool was heated. It was comfortable even when the air temperature was cool. (Now getting out of the pool was another question.)
