Luxury Home for Large Groups

Nice home just not well kept up. Hot water was only hot for a short period of time so everyone couldn’t shower. There were several leaks in the home. Property was not cleaned very well. There was an extra fridge in the garage that we were told that we could use but it was already full of food from previous guest so we couldn’t use it.

We couldn’t watch any of the TVs except for the one in the main living area because they wouldn’t stay connected to internet we had to use our personal hotspots all week long. The dumpster outside stunk so bad we couldn’t really go out on the front. Just wasn’t what we expected.

The house is gorgeous and well furnished. Every single room is immacautley put together and professional. You can tell the owners really care about your experience by how they arrange everything. From the small dumpster convienetly located in a tucked away corner to the clear instructions and guest book in the kitchen, the house is great. Charcoal grill and the outdoor fountain make the house hard to leave. Truly great experience.

This house really filled the bill for us. Our son got married Jun 9, from the start this looked like a great place to stay. We have done a few family weddings over the past few years, and each time have used VRBOs. Each one had certain nice things about them, but this house really was the best of all.

Here are the things that made it great:

Excellent service- Michael, the manager, and Heather, the owner, kept in close touch with us almost from the moment we arrived, via email, phone calls, and text messaging. At one point a little problem required that a person be on site, and even though it was Saturday, someone was there in no time to fix the problem so we could focus on the wedding events.

The house itself is spacious, the kitchen is comfortable and easy to negotiate, and the outdoor space was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the wildlife out the back, and the whole setting was very calming and pleasant.

The bedrooms and baths are wonderful! Quiet, comfortable and roomy. And the AC was great, no struggling to keep it cool or warm it up. We had 12 people staying at the house, and never felt crowded. But even more than that, at one point another 10 joined us for Sunday morning, and it still never felt crowded. It was comfortable, both in the rain and in the hot sun.

Internet was so-so, but good news is they report that they are replacing the system. A new internet system will definitely make it more reliable when there are lots of people connected.

Simply put, this is a great place. We will recommend your house to anyone needing a big house in Charleston. It really made the weekend easier. Thank you Heather and Michael!

We loved our stay at Reese Retreat. We rented this lovely, spacious home for our church leadership retreat. There was plenty of space to accommodate our party of 13 people, while being nice and cozy at the same time. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was large enough for 5-6 people to comfortably be cooking. There were a few lightbulbs that weren't working but it didn't inconvenience us any so I didn't notify the concierge although there is no doubt that they would have changed the bulbs should I have called. The owner, Heather, was extremely accommodating to our check in schedule which we greatly appreciated. The weather was perfect for us to sit out front on the porch and for those to sit out back on the patio. Heather was a pleasure to work with, she answered all of our questions and we would recommend her Reese Retreat for future rentters.

My husband and I got married in Charleston on April 7 , 2018. Instead of having our family stay in a bunch of separate hotel rooms, we wanted to rent a house where everyone could stay together and enjoy family time. We were very happy with this home!

1. The house itself is HUGE and beautiful. It was nicely furnished and extremely well stocked. There were even two grills and even charcoal there so we could cookout. On the second room there is a large bonus room that was the perfect play spot for our children. All of the rooms were comfy and nicely furnished. They even had fresh flowers in vases around the house!

2. The location is great! The neighborhood is a small quiet one so you have the peaceful feel of the country but you’re only 5 minutes from a grocery store and a short drive from Isle of Palms beach and from Charleston.

3. Heather, the owner, is super nice! She is very communicative, quick to respond to questions, and went out of her way to make our stay great. In fact, she even told us we could check in early our first day there!

4. Drawbacks? There really weren’t any... if I had to list one I’d say it was the smell of the water. (It has that sulfur smell common in that area.) Heather addressed it in the welcome notes so we were prepared... other than that, I can’t think of a single drawback.

We would definitely recommend this home. Our family loved having a warm, homey place to spend time together while still having plenty of individual space. We would definitely stay again.
