We had a lovely stay with our dogs at this home. Location to the beach was great, super short walk! The beds were very comfortable and everything in the home was clean. Kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. We would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
House worked great for a reunion of work friends. Location is super-1 block from the beach. Very quiet surroundings. All modern appliances, including an ice machine. House was clean and had plenty of towels. Screened in porch was super for breakfast and dinner. Would definitely rent again!

Wedding weekend
We were there for one of our boy's that was getting married and the house was perfect. Very clean and comfortable for the entire family. Large bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space when it was time to get ready. Just a short walk to the beach in a quite area.

Rainbow Reef
Great rental home for a family vacation! The decor is cheerful and very comfortable. The location is an easy walk to the beach and right next door to Wild Dunes - where we had additional family staying. Pet friendly too- our standard poodle loved it! Main floor screened in porch is great for remote work. 2nd floor porch off primary bedroom is a wonderful perch for reading a book. We also cooked half our dinners at the house in the well equipped kitchen.

Thank you, Mary, for leaving such a wonderful review about your stay at Rainbow Reef! We’re delighted that the cheerful decor and comfortable environment were perfect for your family vacation. It’s great to hear that the location worked well for you and your visiting family next door at Wild Dunes, and that your standard poodle enjoyed the pet-friendly space too. We’re glad you found the main floor porch suitable for remote work and the porch off the primary bedroom a cozy reading spot. It's wonderful to know you had everything you needed in the well-equipped kitchen. We hope to welcome you back soon! Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches
We had the best time! The house was perfect for my family of 6 adults and a 1 year old plus our fur babies. The beach was just steps away which was fantastic. I would recommend this house to anyone and I look forward to renting their house again!

Wonderful Week
Our whole family including our golden retrievers enjoyed our week at Rainbow Reef! The house was in a great location and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We loved all the trees in the neighborhood, the walking paths and the house's two porches --we made great use of them even on some chilly days! It was convenient to have house supplies included and the beach chairs and wagon were great to have use of. The beach and the entrance to Wild Dunes are both so close and the area was so dog friendly. We enjoyed the access to the trails, shops, golf courses and restaurants within Wild Dunes. Our golfers were very happy! Coastal Crust pizza the first night was really good and we had a fantastic meal at Acme LowCountry Kitchen! We recommend visits to Tavern and Table and Gala Cafe and Bakery in Mt. Pleasant. Also got great fresh shrimp from Tarvin Seafood that we brought back to the house to cook up and enjoy. Thanks for a great stay and we hope to be back next year!

Thank you, David, for the kind review of Rainbow Reef! So glad the whole family — golden retrievers included — enjoyed the week. Hope to welcome you back. Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches
We needed a relaxing get away and we got one. Very nice home. Clean. We had everything. The beach was beautiful and we practically had it to ourselves. We had four deer to walk through the yard. Thank you for sharing your home

The home was in great condition. Clean. Furniture was comfortable and ample enough for our family of seven. Kitchen utensils were better than most rentals. Good wine glasses. We used the bikes and ping pong. There were also beach supplies available. A cart, chairs. If there were table games, we didn’t see them so bring your own Scrabble.

Your kind review made our day! We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic stay at our home Thank you for being such wonderful guests, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches
We had a good stay, two small children five adults. In Charleston for a family wedding. Everything was good. We did have a problem that the cable was cut on Thursday afternoon. I texted and had a hard time trying to convey to the mgt what was going on. I asked that they call me several times and they never did. We were without Internet for two days. That was a little tough when you have two small children cause sometimes you need the TV to keep them occupied while you’re trying to get ready.
We had a fabulous experience with the rental! Steven and Sarah were great at communicating via text and email, and they even left us a welcome note with some wine and cookies upon our arrival. How thoughtful! I was pleasantly surprised by this home! There were no reviews, as it was a new rental, so I was hoping the photos and description were accurate. We arrived to find the home even better than expected! It was easy to relax here because the home was SO CLEAN and thoroughly comfortable, from the open floor plan, to the extra large sofa, to the roomy bedrooms and comfy beds. It was beautifully decorated, spacious, and made for a fabulous gathering place for our family of 8 (four generations, ages 4 to 80!). The second floor suite was perfect for “great grandma” to have peace and quiet when she wanted. (But most of the time, she wanted us to join her on her private porch for coffee, wine, and solving life’s problems. ) The stroll to the beach was pleasant (tree covered) and shorter than I anticipated. For families with very young children, there is a wagon under the house for convenience (which we did not need to use…really, the stroll was short.) And speaking of “under the house”, what a nice surprise to find a large shower, ping pong table, fooseball table, many beach chairs, and sand toys for our use. The space under the house is great for fun time,especially on rainy days. I highly recommend this gem!
