Our family had an amazing stay. Warren was extremely attentive and even took time to help us take family photos on the property. We definitely will look forward to staying here on our future visits
Loved our stay. The property was so cute. Attention to detail was apparent throughout, coffees, other bathroom essentials if you needed them, plenty of towels, paper towels, huge closets, just everything! Beautiful view, husband and son did some fishing from the dock but so nice to sit and just relax as well. Any issues we had, the owners were easily available and very helpful. Appliances and some furniture appeared to be recently updated. Only would suggest a chair & ottoman maybe in LR for seating. Also loved the seclusion of the property, giant yard and those fabulous old trees! Totally convenient to everything as well. Would absolutely stay again and recommend. Thank you!!
We had such an amazing stay! The photos of the property don't even come close to how beautiful and peaceful the location is. The home was incredibly clean and well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer!
As advertised and then some! Absolutely PERFECT place for me and my family to enjoy beach life in a beautifully secluded place but close to everything else. The owner is next level, and I will definitely stay there again!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The setting is fantastic and it's great that it's dog friendly. Very friendly hosts and the other guests were also nice to chat with.
Very clean, perfect size, pet friendly, BEAUTIFUL views of marsh and huge backyard with beautiful oaks, fire pit and dock to sit on. Pictures on website don’t do it justice.
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed all the great amenities. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Charleston area. You'll feel right at home in this charming location.
Lovely home. Close to everything we wanted. Bed is so nice. Lovely coffee bar. They pay attention to the small details which really stand out. I just booked us another stay in October.
Very calm and peaceful, beautiful sunrise over the water, host was amazing. Super close to downtown. Have already booked for my next trip to Charleston.
We loved the property so much we only spent a few hours in Charleston. Owners were so gracious and the accommodations were too notch! We'll be going back for a longer stay next time.
