  We stayed here with two of our kids for a family wedding @ Boone Hall. Perfect for a family versus a hotel as more than one bath !!! Nice backyard, very residential area, easy access to Sullivans, IOP, downtown, etc... AC works good, which you need in Charleston in summer....

  Our family stayed at this home and it could not have been more perfect. The home was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood was quiet. The location was perfect, allowing a quick trip to downtown Charleston or the beaches of Sullivan Island and Isle of Palms. Shopping was also close by. We also enjoyed the porch swing. The owner was very pleasant to deal with and the travel arrangements were very easily made. Thank you for allowing us to stay in such a wonderful home for our family vacation.

  A nice expanded beach house in a quiet neighborhood. It was great to be 15 minutes from Downtown Charleston, 10 minutes to Sullivan Island in the opposite direction and minutes to local seafood cafe's. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area for the first time. We expect to be back.

  Four ladies visited this property in January 2012. The property description was true and very comfortable. The owner was helpful with costs, checkin info, and prompt w/ email responses. We loved the quiet neighborhood and the location was only 10-15 minutes from downtown Charleston. We would definitely stay there again.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing.

  This was a great place to stay for the trip we made to Charleston for a family wedding. The pictures were exactly like the house. We had eight adults and it worked out just fine. It was nice just to relax when we weren't busy with wedding things and to sit on the porch and visit with family. We would definitly stay here again. We had everything we needed. The location was great and close to everything.

  Home was clean and as-described. It was exactly what we needed for a weekend golf outing. Close to the golf courses in Isle of Palms and nightlife in downtown Charleston. The owner was very helpful through the process. Had a great experience with this home through VRBO.

  We rented this house for a week in June 2011. We absolutely loved this home! Location was perfect. Quiet neighborhood w/ barely any traffic, & only a 5 minute drive to Charleston! Plenty of room for our family of 5 ! Very clean inside & out, and the owner really overstocked kitchen with pretty much anything one would need ( inc. a few recipe books that had awesome local seafood recipes in them ) My children are 6yrs, 4 yrs & 5 months old, they had a blast playing in the fenced in bk yard and I loved relaxing on the porch swing. We really could not ask for more! There were games for the kids, dvds, it really didnt lack a thing....Very well stocked, so many pillows, towels, blankets. During our stay, temps were over 100 outside, house stayed cold inside, the air conditioning system works GREAT ! We will be back here as much as possible....Loved vacationing in this house!!!!

  We just recently stayed in this home while in Mount Pleasant for a family wedding. We enjoyed this home so much. The weather was perfect for sitting outside with the family on the big front porch. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The house was comfortable, very clean, and big enough to accommodate all 9 of us (including 2 teenagers and 2 kids under 5)! Any time I needed to contact the owner with questions, she was more than helpful. Should we vacation in the Charleston/Mount Pleasant location again, we will definitely be staying here. If you are looking for a comfortable, relaxing place to stay, I recommend this home. It was PERFECT for us!

  House could be very nice but needs some updating. The washing machine would flood the porch when we tried to use it. We ended up going to a coin laundry. Our expectation was that we could wash so we simply did not bring enough clothes for the entire week. A sliding shower door fell off when my grandson tried to close it. Roto Rooter had to come out and pump due to plumbing issues. The AC unit did not cool sufficiently in certain parts of the home. The kitchen and adjoining family room were very uncomfortable while the bedrooms did stay cool enough. Perhaps a backup window unit in that area would be helpful. The house is located in a quiet residential area so it definitey could be a great retreat. None of our party remained for our entire week due to all the things that were wrong. The owner is a very nice person and tried to be accomadating but because so many things were wrong it made for a disappointing trip altogether. I guess no one expects to have to be one the phone almost everyday while on vacation with a property owner dealing with repair issues. All issues mentioned need to be non issues when one is on vacation. Even though the price seemed great prior to the stay it ended up not being a good value at all for us.

  Owner response: Thank you for the feedback. You are a visitor I remember because of how badly I felt for the plumbing issue happening during your stay. It’s difficult when things out of my control take place. However, the plumbing in the front part of the home was found to be backed due to a tree blocking the line. Thus the washer located outside and front bath became backed up. Thankfully, the back bath and shower are connected to the city and were usable while repairs were being done. I had the plumbers link the entire home to the city which elimiates another septic problem. At the time of the repairs, the plumber also knocked down and crushed the main piece of duct work to the front of the home. I can see how it was warmer in the that part of the house ; as a result of this. I had this fixed once noticed. The washer was replaced, because the water that backed up had damaged the electrical board. As the owner, I did do all that I could to inform the professionals to please get in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible I also tried to keep you informed of what was happening and why. I would like to indicate that the home was in fact updated in 09. These upgrades include but are not limited to: New hardwood floors, refrigerator, paint, roof, windows, siding, ceiling fans, kitchen and bath fixtures, microwave, TV, DVD/VCR, front bathroom- tile floor, tub, toilet, and sink, wired for cable and wireless internet, covered back porch with lights, ceiling fan and painted. Most recently I’ve added another queen bed, plumbing, and washer in 2010, and HVAC in 2011 (not related to this review). I have owned, rented and maintained many rental properties over my 14 yrs. as a landlord. With this property being my grandmothers and hopefully my future home, it will not be neglected by me if humanly possible. I was quite surprised to get this note nine months after a stay but I take all suggestions sincerely and I’m grateful that there is nothing that I did not either address during your stay or have since addressed due to noticing it by default. I sincerely hope your next visit to Charleston will be a much better experience. I welcome a call to allow me the opportunity to make it up to you if you so desire. Many thanks again for the note and I hope you will take me up on that offer. Regards, Lisa Raye P.S. Bath door has a cracked bottom runner and is being taken down and replaced with a curtain

  My family booked this property spring of 2010. The house itself is in a GREAT location to both the beaches and to downtown Charleston. The neighborhood is in a quiet and very family friendly neighborhood. There are grocery stores such as Whole Foods very close by and a Starbuck's just a few blocks away....:) There are incredible restaurants , plantation tours and shopping minutes away !The house is quite large both inside and out. The kitchen is fully stocked with any kind of pot or pan you may need ! We enjoyed so many breakfasts and dinners outside in the yard on the patio and on the deck. The porch out front made a great spot to have a cup of coffee and read a book in the mornings. People who walked by would wave and say hello. What a friendly neighborhood ! The bedrooms are quite large and the beds are incredibly comfortable. Having a large washer and dryer on the property was great. What was an added bonus for me was a large clothesline in back to line dry all our clothes. The owner is wonderful to talk to and book vacations with ! We loved staying here so much that we booked a winter vacation for later this year and a 2 week stay for next summer. I HIGHLY recommend this property ! The only thing you need to bring is yourself....This house has everything else.
