About this property

Cozy Home Minutes From Historic Charleston, Sullivan's Island & Isle of Palms

This is a recently renovated 3BR/2BA pond-front home that is literally 6.6 miles from historic Downtown Charleston and all of the world-class restaurants it has to offer, just 3.4 miles from the family-friendly beaches of Sullivan's Island and 5.2 miles from the Isle of Palms! Centrally located within just a 30-minute radius of Charleston's best-emerging craft breweries, beer gardens and bottle shops. Within just 5.1 miles of the most photographed plantation in America, Boone Hall Plantation, and 5.5 from Mt. Pleasant's Palmetto Island County Park, which features its very own waterpark, Splash Island.

This 1,440+ Sq/Ft house is laid out with families in mind. Upon entering you'll find a welcoming family room with ample seating, a family dining table and an open kitchen with plenty of counter space to prepare meals for your family while on vacation.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the TV Room, which is well laid out for your family to bundle together for a family game night or to gather together around the 55" 4K Ultra HD TV to watch a show on cable or Blu-ray. And, if you are in need of an extra bed then the Family Room's sofa features a pullout queen bed.

The First Bedroom features one queen-sized bed, a full-access closet and a full-sized mirror for you to ensure that you are looking good before hitting the town.

The Middle Bedroom includes two twin beds for any and all family members but was laid out with your little ones in mind.

Last but not least is the Master Bedroom which has its own queen bed, full bathroom, a 49" LED TV and a view over the pond.

After your family's nights of good rest, you can all enjoy a hot cup of joe, made in-house, on the patio while basking in the Lowcountry weather and the refreshing sound of the pond fountain.

Looking to bring a dog(s)? If so, we will require an additional $150, non-refundable, deposit for the first, and an additional $165 for the second. Our 100lbs dog limit is restricted to two, per booking.

Family Wedding

Our stay was great in this well kept home. We had everything we needed for 6 adults and was super easy for my 86 year old mom to navigate. We even took advantage of the beach towels and chairs to spend a relaxing day before the wedding at Isle of Palm Beach. Check in was easy, communication was great and enjoyed the outside sitting area as well. Home is 10 -15 minutes from downtown, beach etc. Highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful home-very convenient-would stay again

This house is spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed and more. We had 5 adults and a large dog staying and a couple other family members visiting at times and were never crowded. The hosts respond to questions quickly. It was 5 minutes away from the person we were in town to visit. Grocery stores, shopping, the beach and downtown Charleston are all easy to get to. Our dog loved sunning on the back porch in the morning. Neighborhood is quiet and family oriented. Will definitely stay here again!

The weather was great so we even enjoyed the outdoor seating by the tidal creek. We would definitely stay again! Thanks to the hosts for making it a wonderful stay!!

This is the standard

We were blown away with the house. Very clean, welcoming, felt like home. They have thought of every detail. From a fully stocked kitchen, to labeling every light switch. Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows and beach chairs. They even have a crib ready if you have an infant. The pond out back gave our 14yr old a place to fish for hours and wonderful ambiance during the evenings out on the patio. Quiet neighborhood left us feeling comfortable and safe. Close to Walmart and grocery shopping. Only 15 min from the beach and 20 min to Charleston. When we come back we will look for this home again.

First bad experience through VRBO

We did not stay at property. Got there at 8:30pm. Had message from owner that keypad was not working and key would be under front door mat. Was not there and there was no keypad on the front door. Texted the owners son who had texted me upon booking. No response. Sent message to owner through VRBO and he showed up in a few minutes. He explained the house had not been cleaned and was not available. He said he had no record of our booking and did not know when we were coming. He offered to put us up in hotel for night with cleaners coming next morning. He refunded our money through VRBO and gave us cash too. It all seemed very shady. Made my family very nervous. My wife called 911. Police showed up. Owner apologized profusely. All could have been legit but just seemed very shady and very unprofessional. Disappointed and unsettling to have driven a long way and be ready to rest and not have a place to stay. Do not understand the break down in communication between owner and VRBO and how they did not have record of our booking and did not know when we were coming. Soured us on booking through VRBO. Very disappointed and wish we had just booked a hotel to begin with as we ended up having to go that route to begin with.

Great amenities to this property

PROS: - The family lives nearby and maintain the property with pride. When I needed to call them for support, someone was there in minutes. Well done. - The house was very nice, having two bedrooms with large beds (One En Suite) and a third room with twin beds. The living/dining/kitchens space is spacious and good for activities. There is also a TV/Study/Lounge area off to one side - so... roomy for 1400 foot home. All six guests thought it a great house. Thumbs up on overall design. - Central location to City and destinations around the area. A solid place to stay in the middle of the action Charleston/Mount Prospect/Isle of Palms/SeeWee! - EXTRA AMENITIES great. Three cars worth of parking. House had Beach Chairs and Beach Towels at hand for visitors (Very helpful in an age when travelers travel packed for aircraft overheads only.) There was a first aid kit in the pantry that proved helpful too for minor injury. Washing machine and dryer were right there with soap at hand! Super helpful. CONS: Not really sure - might be VRBO policy of something and not an issue for owners, but was asked for full payment up front. This feels odd since had not even seen the property yet other than web site...and we all know the web is utterly reliable. Worse, I provided credit card on booking - as a result was NOT spending time hovering over VRBO to check it after confirmation. Thought they were simply going to charge to card like a hotel would at end of visit. Instead, by chance checked two days ahead of flight and discovered payment buttons in messages there that required card entry and clicking of buttons to make payments. I am sure this two-step thing is a logical part of a business I do not understand well and would certainly be willing to pay an upfront deposit with a clean conscience - but entire cost up front seems like a lot of trust that the property is going to be excellent. As it was, I had not worked out who was going to pay what between the six folks we had coming to stay. Figured we would sort it out when we got there. The upfront payment meant I personally had to pay it all so glad I had the resources to get it done. Recommend that if the two-payment model it the norm, that the second payment be made on check out to mimic more the way the hotel industry does business. Just a thought!

Great house, well-stocked for a trip

We had a very nice time at Mallard Lakes. The place was well-stocked with everything we needed: nice variety of kitchen supplies, seasonings, toiletries, plenty of towels, and even chairs for the beach. We loved the side patio and enjoyed looking out the water. It was a nice location close to the beach and a 12-15 minute uber to downtown. My one issue is the confusing verbiage around # of guests. The listing says it fits 8 guests and that there is a $50 additional fee for guests. I assumed this meant guests over 8, but the owners let us know that the fee is for any guests over 6. We still had a great stay, but just an FYI to future guests if you're looking for a place in your budget.

Wonderful getaway for my daughter's birthday

Lovely, comfortable, tasteful property. The beds were very comfortable, and the seating area outside was perfect for relaxing before and after shopping and sightseeing in Charleston. We all had a wonderful time, with the additional treat of my husband catching fish in the pond behind the house. I'd love to attach a photo of the 14" bass he caught. His eyes looked like a kid who caught his first fish! The owner was very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. Very fast responses to any questions.

What a gift!

This was the perfect location to reunite my Mom (from Canada) with her best friend (from Mount Pleasant) for the first time in a decade. The house had everything we could have imagined we needed. It was the perfect location and was so wonderfully decorated. We appreciated all of the local books and history and walking guides. The view and the backyard was delightful. The hosts were so supportive and responsive. It was the easiest booking and so greatly appreciated!

The property was great! However the only criticism I would have is that it upon arrival it smelt like cigarette smoke, the smell went away as we were there so no worries.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Having raised our three boys in this family-friendly neighborhood, Mallard Lakes, the location was the icing on the cake. It is close to both islands, Shem Creek's restaurants/Lowcountry water activities, Charleston, shopping, etc. For those reasons and many more, we've stayed in Mallard Lakes. When we were fortunate enough to purchase another home we decided to purchase another home right here in Mallard Lakes.

We are using this home to help our children/family when needed and to save money for retirement. Since this home is in front of the neighborhood it's easy for guests to come and go, as they please. During your stay, you will notice that 1214 Lake Mallard Blvd is nicely decorated and clean as can be as if we live there ourselves. It's on a low trafficked cul-de-sac, a quite stocked pond and perfect for families or small groups of friends.

Sharing our abode and providing a place for people to create memories, no matter the occasion, is important to The Macchio Family. We hope that you and your fellow vacationers have a wonderful stay at The Mallard's Nest!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location...and a humbling, yet well throughout, abode to come home to after exploring the ends and outs of the Lowcountry and everything it has to offer! :)
