Hi Eugenio! Thank you for such a wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting you, please visit with us again!
This property is absolutely stunning . It’s beautifully decorated and well appointed. The location within Wilson Village is perfect for all facilities. A wonderful family vacation and we hope to return to the house one day.
This is our 2nd year visiting Palmetto Bluff in this home and we enjoy being there very much. The location in Wilson Village, interior design of the house, and ease of communication with the property manager are great.
Great house and perfect location. The house is well equipped, great for family and/or friend gatherings. The house manager and everyone associated with the house did a great job to ensure all needs were met and taken care of promptly. Highly recommend.
We had three couples stay for three nights and couldn't have asked for anything more. We felt so at home and had everything we needed. The house was very clean and in such a great location. Everything was walkable. We'll be back!

Wonderful house in Palmetto Bluff!
We took our family, including grandchildren, for a vacation at Palmetto Bluff. This home was perfect in every way. Excellent location in walking distance from main shops, restaurants and activities, ample space, luxuriously furnished rooms. The perfect house! We rented bikes and were able to go everywhere on them.

Great location!
Such a great house and location! Second stay in this house for us and it was great!
However, it is looking a little worn inside from wear and tear. I’m sure it’s get rented a lot. Floors, furniture and bedding could all use some updating.
We had a beautiful stay at this property during the MTYM Festival. The house was just 1 short block away from the heart of the Village where the main events occurred. The house is beautifully designed and decorated - it had everything needed (kitchen, laundry, etc...)

Beautiful and comfortable...we had a wonderful time!
We had a delightful time at Palmetto Bluff. The weather was perfect, our darling house was most comfortable and our time with our children was a sweet memory maker. Our house in addition to the guest house provided plenty of space for 8. The front porch and the screened porch provided great outdoor spaces. We loved the back patio with the fire pit. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed the living room with its sound system. We would stay at this property again without a doubt. Thank you!
Great location, however….
Several things were not working(freezer, a dishwasher) and a porch swing fell during our stay. Notified owner who never called me back prior to departure. Would be embarrassed to have my home present like this to renters.

Honest reviews are critical to potential renters choosing your home. It wasn't until after you checked out that any issues were brought to our attention. To say otherwise is just not true.
I can only surmise that the swing was broken from someone jumping on it, the freezer was left open causing ice to build up preventing the door from closing and yes, the second dishwasher was having trouble draining from something put down the sink drain.
Next time you have nothing better to do, get your facts straight before you write a negative review that may not be totally accurate.
We were in Palmetto Bluff for a wedding and stayed at this beautiful property. The location is ideal near the cute shops and great restaurants that Palmetto Bluff offers. Prior to arrival we were in touch with the management team who were so friendly, responsive, and helpful in booking any extras for our stay. They also checked in throughout our stay to make sure all was going smoothly at the property. We had 4 couples staying at the house and had plenty of space to relax and spread out. The bedrooms were all spacious with all king beds which were super comfortable! We didn’t have time to cook but the kitchen was equipped with high end appliances and stocked with everything you would need to cook and dine at home.
Overall a great property with a great team running it! Will definitely return!
