Great Experience

I stayed in this comfortable house in May with 9 graduate students and a dog. We all had a great experience. The house was clean and as described in these reviews. The backyard pool was a nice feature - small but comfortable and deeper than it looks! We had trouble getting the waterfall to work, but this didn't matter too much.The screened porch was awesome and the pool table was a great feature for us as well. We also enjoyed using the golf cart and other things provided in the house including beach chairs, grill, beach towels, toys etc. The fenced yard was great for the dog and made everything easier. After you get used to the fact that there are only two private rooms, the house comfortably slept 10. The house was close to the beach (2 blocks) and within walking distance of the downtown bars and restaurants (Windjammer). We had a great trip. The one minor thing was that the house only had zoning for four parked cars (even though there was space for more) which cased a little trouble for us, but we ended up parking the two extras at a nearby friends' house. Close to Charleston too. Overall the owner was easy to work with and we were billed as described. It was nice to have a code to enter the house and not have to deal with a key situation.

Perfect Island Escape

We spent 6 days in this fantastic home on the Isle of Palms. The house was perfect for our family which included two adults, two small children, one teenager, and our family dog. Our teen loved the pool table and he stayed in the bedroom on the third floor of the house. The children really enjoyed all of toys, floats, and playground equipment. My husband and I loved the spacious master bedroom with a king-sized bed, whirlpool tub, and private balcony with ocean views. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard. All of us were able to enjoy the pool and we had a great time tossing beach balls with each other and relaxing. We were able to walk to the beach and the restaurants are just a few blocks away. Unfortunately, we were unable to start the golf cart, however when we called the owners they came out right away to look at it. They even called out a golf cart repair person the next day. It was nice that the owners were so responsive and they were local as well which was comforting. The house included lots of nice dishes, glasses, a wet bar, and appliances were nice as well. There were plenty of plastic dishes/cups for the kids too. We would definitely rent this home again and it was such a fantastic escape for all of us.

We had 8 adults and 2 small children stay at this house for a week. The house had everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to toys. My 2 1/2 yr old had a great time wih all the toys and the pool was the perfct size for her. The house was close to the beach but we would take advantage of the golf cart to help load everything up. The location was awesome...about 4 blocks away a couple shops and bars that overlooked the ocean. The owner was great to work and was available to answer all my questions. We look forward to another trip here next summer!

Pro's: Location (only 5-12 miles from everything Charlestons has to offer Owners were really easy to work with House: close to the beach golf cart really helped for hauling the stuff back and forth lots of games, kitchen supplies, and beach toys Price (stayed in Off season) Plenty of room for 6 adults and 1 infant Cons: Alot of bikes at house, however only 1 had air in tires. Owner sent a compressor out, but only got 1 more to air up. Freezer in-house would not keep items frozen such as Ice Cream (outside freezer worked fine) The 3rd bedroom is not private to the loft (stairs come down into that bedroom) Not well described on site or in pics Out by 10A, but can't enter until nearly 4P is a little rough (shouldn't take 6 hours to clean). 11A would be nice. All and all pleased with the house and our stay. House has many amentitites that are not available in other homes, however needs a little TLC and would be a perfect vacation get-a-way with a little sweat equity.

This house and location was perfect! The owners were extremely friendly and they even had a boat dock available on the island. Weve stayed in a few homes along the SC coast and this was by far the best. The yard and pool were gorgeous and everything the kids needed and much more was on site. Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Parker for a wonderful vacation! We will be seeing you next year!

We just stayed at this house. We had 5 boys ranging in ages from 11 - 18mths. This house was perfect for us. The pool was only about 3ft deep - perfect for our little people and the waterfall was a huge hit. The playground was a great for the youngest who was afraid of the pool. The house had everything we needed and the walk to the beach was easy and quick. We were delightfully surprised to find an entire armoir full of toys for the kids and there was plenty of seating for the adults. The only complaints I had was 1) we couldn't find the slats for the pool table to make it a full dining table and 2) we also couldn't locate a skimmer for the pool. Both of these 'negatives' in no way hampered our good time - just would've been an extra plus.

There were 6 adults and 5 kids, and the kids loved the house and all it included, especially the pool. Kind of surprised that one of the bedrooms was at the bottom of the staircase to the loft, but it ended up working out fine. It was nice that there was a crib, given that we were traveling with a 1 year old. House was clean. Carpets were a little dingy, and the walls could use some painting, but none of that took away from the vacation. Kitchen table only sat 4, and the other tables were out on the screened-in porch. Would have been nice to have a bigger table indoors, but did have a high chair which was very convenient. Very close to the beach. Owner easy to communicate with. Would recommend.

I loved my stay at this house. Beautiful home and a fabulous backyard! This was my little girl's first vacation and she loved the pool! Convenient to shops and only a one block walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. The only bad thing I can find to pick on is some of the walls could use a coat of paint and there were some spots on the carpet that could be cleaned. But these cosmetics are not bad enough that I will not stay here again. I plan on staying here again in the future!

My wife & I stayed here for our honeymooon. Great place to vacation. We brought our kayak and had a terrific time on the back creeks and Intercoastal Waterway. Watch out for the mosquitoes in the marsh areas. Overall, we would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your AWESOME beach house! It has everything anyone could ask for for a beach home. The layout is perfect for fellowship with a large group, and it's very comfortable. Nothing is missing, the golf cart is an added bonus, as is the pool and grill. We loved our weekend here and hope to visit again soon!

We really enjoyed staying in this lovely and very clean beach house. We have 3 children and we found it to be perfect for our needs, Plus I didn't have to pack my pack-n-play, beach toys, etc. It was an easy walk to the beach and downtown area. We can't wait to visit again. We love Charleston. The Childer's Family

We came for a visit for a long weekend. The house is a perfect beach house. Lots of space. The beach is very short walk & you can walk to a few bars & some shopping. Perfect for the group whow would like a simple beach house for an affordable price. Has everything you need!
