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
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
Great location for easy quick travel to areas to visit. Beautiful quiet place. Mornings on the front porch having coffee just taking in the view was so relaxing. My sister and brother in law joined us. Plenty of room for us all. All the amenities you needed were available. Host was very accommodating. I would definitely refer this property to others.
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.
From the time I booked our stay to after we checked out everything was perfect. Many times before check in I had questions for the Host and my questions were answered quickly and accurately. Once we checked in we had everything we needed and everything was clean. If we are in the Charleston or Folly Beach area again we will definitely stay here.
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.
