Host (staff) were very helpful and patient with information. Rooms/house and pool were as described. Proximity to beach and St Armands amenities were ideal. Of special note: appliances, linens, pool and spacious rooms.

Thanks Mindy! It was a pleasure hosting your family for Thanksgiving! So glad to hear you enjoyed the home and area and we hope to see you again next year.
Great place in all respects for our mini reunion among old college friends. The unique layout was super convenient and the location was perfect for popping into St Armand’s Circle here and there. We loved the hot tub/ pool and many seating areas to congregate. Last but not least, the property manager (Tim) was very responsive and helpful…. Hope to return!
