  My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Susan's rental property. The home was quite spacious, much more than we needed for just the two of us! It was convenient to both the beach and downtown. There were some nice restaurants in Mt. Pleasant that were great. But we trekked into Charleston to eat most nights. While the home is well appointed with comfy furniture and all the odds and ends you might need, it could use a bit of an update to the furnishings and fixtures. We could have given it a 5 star excellent rating if it weren't so dated. A flat screen could probably increase the value of the rental. Also, I'm a self-confessed germ-a-phobe and the condition of the futon in the living room had me running to cover it with a clean sheet before I could relax on it. This could just be my own issue but a nice new futon mattress would go miles for us germ-weary people. We used the grill and it worked well, although the place lacked grill utensils. Working with Susan was simple and done completely over email. No issues there, she was quick to respond. Otherwise, the place was great. Dated but clean and functional.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you for review. I plan to get some grill utensils (we used to have them, so they went missing recently I guess). I will also change out that futon cover right away. The townhouse is definitley dated, ands 80's-ish. We regularly think about spending the $20,000 to update, or keeping the rental rates lower than all our comparisons. Hope you will return : ) Susan V

  The townhouse turned out to be a great rental. It is located in a convenient spot - there is one really close restaurant and several within walking distance (1/4 mile). Very close to Sullivan's Island/Beach. The rental is much larger than the pictures show. The two bedrooms are very large as is the living space. It is very nice having the linens/towels provided! The place was very clean and had a lot of pots/pans/games/tv/wifi. The location/neighborhood was quiet, and we had an overall great time. We will stay here again in future visits to the area.

  Owner response: Thank you! Please come back again. It's pretty great here year-round : )

  I have a family of five (three teenagers) and we had more than enough room in this townhouse. Kitchen had everything we need to cook. It was in the perfect location to get everywhere we wanted to go within 20 mins or so. We will stay with you again. Also, we found a great place to eat and the prices were good - Page's Okra Grill.

  My family of four stayed at this house for 3 nights before our cruise. This house was very clean with comfortable beds and living space. Great location whether it is exploring the beach at Sullivans Island or seeing Charleston. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends visiting the area.

  Really enjoyed this property, it was everything we hoped it would be. Great location, 5 mins to beach and 10 to downtown. We were able to take our dog Buddy which was one reason we picked this property and would do so again, very clean, very well maintained and we were able to walk to restaurants, and shopping. Would recommend this location to everyone.

  By Phyllis P (Knoxville, TN) Absolutely wonderful!, July 2, 2011 Extremely convenient to everywhere we wanted to go! We walked in and were so pleased with the townhouse, the little touches that made it so welcoming and homey and the roominess the notebook with all the information was a great idea, we used it the first night! You must add POE's on Sullivan Island that was great and the best fish tacos! Susan you were great to work with and it was a pleasure doing the business end of it with you! Thank you for letting us bring our little Dooley with us, he enjoyed his visit also. Would LOVE to plan a trip next year with the grandkids! Thank you for your helpfulness and we had a great vacation, your area is lovely and we loved it. Thanks for the hospitality that you showed and we look forward to another visit!

  I think this is the perfect place for vacation! The beach is minutes away. There are really great restaurants in the area. The Red Ice House is a must if you love crab legs. Susan, the owner had recommended a place called Pitt Bridge Road..that has to be seen to behold the beauty of a sunset. I went there several times and never got tired of it. Whenever I get to go back to Charleston this is where I want to stay...great location and such a nice place! I want to thank Susan...so very much for everything..You are the best! JEM

  We enjoyed a couple of nights in this fantastic townhouse. We were a party of five adults and there was plenty of room to spread out so that everyone could have their own privacy.The listing was accurately described. We especially enjoyed the neighborhood and the easy commute to downtown Charleston. Everyone in our party was very pleased with how comfortable the townhouse felt, and also with all the amenities offered. The owner was so pleasant to deal with and eager to answer any questions about the area. I will definitely try to rent from Susan again! We only had two days here but some of our activities that we would recommend include: 1. Dinner at Locklears in Mt. Pleasant 2. A walk on the waterfront pier located under the Ravanel bridge. We visited after dinner and the sunset and city lights were so beautiful here. We also got to watch some awesome fireworks while we were there. And the view from underneath the bridge is incredible. We were originally going to walk across the bridge , but the waterfront park was a much better choice due to the heat. 3.We took the Dungeon Ghost tour in Charleston. I can't really say it was scary, but it was definitely entertaining. 4. "Cupcakes" on King St. Yum!!!! 5.Magnolia Cemetery- beautiful!! 6. I am going to hunt for Palmetto Pig on 17North tomorrow. It is supposed to be owned or related to "Dukes". We used to plan our vacations around Duke locations, so we will be on a sharp lookout for the Palmetto Pig tomorrow. Hopefully it will be just as Dukes used to be. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful townhouse with us!

  This was our first VRBO experience. While we found the place quiet and convenient, we were disappointed with the mustiness (when owner was called, it was blamed on recent rainfall). Allergy sufferers should beware. Pots/pans were in bad shape. Had to make several trips to the nearby stores for air freshener, pans, toilet paper, tissue, paper towels, etc. The nearest sandy beach, on Sullivan’s Island, is over two miles away – not one as advertised. The hair dryer and the grill (dirty) did not work. Little attention was given to our complaints – made via phone and email. The location is very convenient to stores and restaurants.

  Owner response: The issue of mustiness - if there is non-stop rain for days before visit, expect this if you are 1 block from the marsh. As stated on our site: "It was built in 1978, remodeled in 1989. The Village is the nicest area, but all the brand new places are miles up the HWY" (with tons of traffic) AND "We provide a lmited amount of start-up paper goods, soaps, etc.", This is a spacious yet 33yr old townhouse, hence the fabulous location with a bargain price. Guests who usually rent VRBO or any "by owner" understand that we are not a HOTEL and plan to make store trips. Having space and a kitchen is why they rent this way. I would have to charge all guests a higher rate to provide unlimited tissue, pp towels, tp, air freshener, and a new set of pans regularly. Guests receive a sheet of procedures that identifies the grill and outdoors being the responsibility of guests. I replaced the broken hairdryer which they brought to my attention. My husband went over and checked the grill, which worked (you had to use a lighter) and was not spotless but better than our home grill. He also insisted on checking the drive between the townhouse straight to Sullivan's Island, which is 1.4 mile. The beach does turn out to be 2.2 miles. (I am ignoring his wishes for me to include foul language in this response : ) Charleston Place is $375-545 per night + tax and 9.5 miles from beach (I checked online), Or, Days Inn with 275 sq ft instead of 1500, and $35 per night more instead of the $104 + tax which they paid, INCLUDING cleaning and all other fees, may have been preferrable . I am truly sorry that they had a bad experience. Renting by owner is not for everyone.

  We stayed at this condo on 4/27-5/1/2011. There was 7 of us and the place sleeps great along with the close location from charleston. It was only maybe a 10 min. ride to charleston if that. Condo is clean well kepted. We had a great time. This was my first trip to charleston and I would stay at this location again since its so close and its in beautiful mt. pleasant.
