We stayed here for New Year's with two families of four. Plenty of space and bedroom to accommodate all of our guests. The home is located right off King Street in a great location with lots of things to do in walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!

The pictures are definitely angled to make you think the house is nicer than it is. It's extremely old and everything is one press or one step away from breaking. Disposal was broken, fridge was in alarm all weekend long, dishwasher was nearly broken, there were small bugs all in the house that kept biting everyone. The bathrooms have nice tile so appear updated in photos but then toilets and sink operations are very old. The location was also shielded and makes you think you are staying in a nicer house and nicer neighborhood. Neighborhood gets better a few blocks down, but we had homeless people asking us for money when we walked out the door and the church next door is very active on the weekends and nights. The backyard area doesn't look as nice as the photos. It's all run down and not somewhere you will want to "hang out".

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry that the home did not meet your expectations. While this is an older Charleston property with historic character, every guest should still find it comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Charleston’s intense summer heat and humidity can cause a noticeable increase in outdoor insect activity throughout the city, and bugs can occasionally make their way inside despite routine preventative treatments. This is seasonal to the Lowcountry and not necessarily an indication of an issue within the home; however, we still take every report seriously and have asked our pest-control team to inspect the property. We are also addressing the appliance and maintenance concerns and reviewing the listing to ensure it accurately represents the home.
Great bedding and pillows! We all slept really well. House was cold when we arrived but heat worked well once we got it on and running.

Don't let the outside fool you. The inside is great!

Thanks so much, Cynthia! We love hearing that the inside was a pleasant surprise. Sometimes it’s what’s on the inside that counts most, right? Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay in this house. Property manager was quick to answer our questions and very helpful. Convenient to walking to King St and other destinations. Beds were very comfortable.

Our original plan was to stay at this property for our family vacation from August 3 through August 8. Unfortunately, due to a leakage issue at the rental, we were moved to another property off Phillips at the last minute. The replacement property was an eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom setup consisting of two units. While it provided plenty of space, it was not the ideal arrangement for our family. Given the short notice, however, we felt it was the best option available under the circumstances.The property management team was responsive throughout the process, was good about communicating with us. We also appreciated that the maintenance staff who came out to address the issues after our arrival were very friendly, professional, and willing to help. Several items needed attention when we checked in, including a door that was not closing or locking properly and an issue with the water pressure. The maintenance team responded and took care of the concerns, which was appreciated.That said, there were several aspects of the replacement property that made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped. Before arriving, we were told that traffic noise would be low. Unfortunately, the property was backed up to a highway, and the traffic noise was noticeable. This was particularly disappointing because we had specifically been given the impression that noise would not be a significant concern.Another issue was the outdoor area. There was construction or work being done

We are truly sorry that your family vacation did not go as planned. We understand how disappointing it must have been to learn at the last minute that a leak made your original rental unavailable, especially when the replacement layout was not ideal for your family.
We also apologize for the additional concerns with the noise, outdoor area, and water pressure. We appreciate your patience and allowing our teams to try to make this right for you, We appreciate your kind recognition of our responsive management and maintenance teams. Your feedback is being taken seriously, and we hope to have another opportunity to provide your family with the comfortable Charleston stay you originally expected.
Nice mature unit, the family enjoyed their stay but a large dining/kitchen table would be nice. Construction going on outside and immediate surrounding location is nothing special.

Thanks for your feedback, Dirk! We're glad to hear your family enjoyed their stay. We appreciate the suggestion about a larger dining table—it’s helpful for future improvements. While the area is currently undergoing some development, many guests find the location convenient for getting around Charleston. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Hosts were very communicative and property wa great. We slept 11 with no problem. Loved all of the attached bathrooms!

Rebecca, happy to hear our place comfortably accommodated your group! Having attached bathrooms for each bedroom must have been incredibly convenient. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
We stayed here Mother’s Day weekend. 12 adults and we had plenty of space. The house is very clean and has nice bathroom and kitchen updates. Beds are comfortable! We had the misfortune of having storms all weekend but still really enjoyed our stay. Keep in mind the house is old so lots of interesting character. Communication with rental company was great!

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Mary! We're glad the home had plenty of space and that you found it clean, comfortable, and updated—our housekeeping team will be happy to hear that! Even with the stormy weather, it’s great to know you still enjoyed your stay. The home's historic charm definitely adds some unique character, and we’re so pleased communication was smooth throughout. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
I wish the kitchen had dish towels. It’s hard to make one towel work for 5 days. Also, the toaster was broken. You had to hold it down to toast. The ceiling fan in the bedroom on 2nd floor on the left didn’t work and several sinks were a bit clogged.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry for the inconveniences you experienced with the toaster, ceiling fan, sinks, and dish towels. Our team is available 24/7 and would have been more than happy to address these issues during your stay, including dropping off extra dish towels. We always encourage our guests to reach out for anything at all so we can make your stay as comfortable as possible. Your notes help us improve for future guests, and we truly appreciate you sharing them.
