Peaceful getaway
Virtually everything we needed was available. Beds are extremely comfortable, spacious, well-stocked kitchen, everything was clean and extremely well maintained. The location made it easy to get to our destinations. The wrap around porch was a favorite hangout with plenty of seating and a beautiful back yard view. Clear and concise communication with owners set our expectations and it did not disappoint

Lovely Home, Beautiful Neighborhood and Amazing Water Views!!
We are a group of 8 women who travel to a different destination every year. This year we chose Charleston. Our first thought was to stay in downtown but the accommodations were too small or too expensive for our group. So, we started looking a bit out of town. We feel we made the perfect chose! We were close to town, but also enjoyed the feel of the low-country with all the quiet and beautiful waterways. We've stayed at dozens of places over the years and several in the group said this was their favorite and that it was better than the photos. There was enough space for us to spread out. Beds were all super comfy and the kitchen was fully stocked. We enjoyed having our coffee and breakfast in the morning before going touring. The dining table was ample for our 1 dinner in and a lively card game. We enjoyed the living room and the smaller sitting area off the kitchen where we had a puzzle going throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the outside of the home. The beautiful porch was very inviting and the stroll down the dock, lovely. We also enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the morning. We toured 2 plantations. Ft Sumter, went sailing in the harbor, a walking food tour, and an evening on Sullivan's Island. It was a wonderful trip and the house was the best part! 5-star experience all the way!

Perfect location
We chose this location due to the access to the river and its proximity to all fun things to do around. It did not disappoint! We loved everything about the house and property. Theres great crabbing off the dock! Locals also say when tide is coming in and going out is the best time fo fish that area. George was super helpful with check in and and with any questions and issues we had!

Gather inside and outside for a wonderful stay
Our eight-night stay truly seemed like a vacation for our family. The multiple gathering and eating areas inside and out allowed us to beat the heat, run on the grass, BBQ, sit in porch rocking chairs, wander out to the dock, and sit and watch the marsh and its occasional cargo ships heading in and out of the Wanda terminal. And it was 10 minutes to Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant and about 10-15 minutes to downtown Charleston. The home is beautiful, well equipped, had comfortable beds, and the kitchen had whatever you would need. Thanks, Laurie and George for a wonderful stay!

Gorgeous place with all the amenities
The property is stunning. A beautiful view through the moss covered oaks out over the marsh and creek to the Wando River. We saw dolphin in the river from the porch and deer in the backyard. The house is spacious and perfect for a family gathering like ours. The kitchen was beyond well-stocked with everything you might want to serve meals at the beautiful dining table. The wrap around porch was the perfect place to relax over a cup of coffee in the mornings. As with all Charleston area properties, parking is somewhat limited for a place that accommodates so many people, but you can easily park 3 vehicles. The house is beautifully decorated with nice art.

This is my second stay in this beautiful home. Everything you need is provided...I travel a lot for work and this home is one that I will continue to return to when work brings me to the Charleston area. The perfect place to unwind and relax, but close enough to everything to enjoy all the sights, sounds, and food that the area has to offer!

August, 2023 stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this peaceful and well appointed home. It was so enjoyable to enjoy the tranquil setting with a good book and cup of coffee while watching sunrise each morning; yet the location and proximity to the charming city of Charleston made it super easy to enjoy all that the city has to offer. Beautiful beaches, the historical city and the airport are all a short and easy drive from the house. We could not have chosen a better location. The owners, while onsite, were there for us if we needed them but completely unintrusive. The kitchen and entire home were well stocked with all of the essentials. I can not more highly recommend this home.

Fantastic Family Getaway
What a wonderful week we had here! The house is beautiful, the location is gorgeous, everything is clean, beds were very comfortable (and i have back issues), kitchen was fully stocked. The calm and peace just sitting out on the back porch looking at the river was breathtaking. The kids were able to go kayaking and enjoyed the view. The only con about the house is the wifi was a bit spotty in the downstairs bedroom. We were a 10 minute drive to Patriot's Point, where my nephew toured the aircraft carrier with my husband, and we all went on a harbour tour (highly recommend). My daughter and friend and niece found a nearby movie theater on one of the days it rained. Short drive to downtown Charleston. Short drive to Isle of Palm beach as well. My one nephew said he wanted to buy the house and move the whole family in LOL I would definitely stay there again!

We had a family wedding in Charleston and wanted to extend our stay for a mini vacation. The views are breathtaking and everything was picture perfect! Ample kitchen supplies, towels, extra bedding, and even citronella candles! The kids had a great time using the kayaks and paddle boards and we even had a crab dinner one night after catching at least 15 crabs Using the crab traps. George was very helpful providing all the information we needed and was very responsive when I had a few questions. I definitely recommend The Big Chill as a vacation spot whether you’re touring or just relaxing!

Why they chose this property

We attend to every detail and supervision of cleanliness and styling. We live on the property and so, of course, treat it with extra loving care. We were drawn to this unique waterfront property with the southern feeling and privacy, with location, location, location. Being near the beaches and downtown makes this a perfect spot.

What makes this property unique

Only a short hop into Charleston just over the bridge ! This house is super convenient to Charleston and great restaurants. And the beach of Sullivan's Island is just 6 miles down the road. Truly a "perfect location". Gorgeous surroundings plus the dock. This property is encircled by water and marsh, and has water views of the creeks, the rivers, and the marshes. The water views and the tidal changes really make this property spectacular. It is all about the fabulous waterfront location, the ebb and flow of the tides, the natural wildlife, and the privacy, combined with a comfortable savvy home. What a way to enjoy Historic Charleston, the Beaches and the marshes! The location can't be beat, as is evidenced by all the new mega million dollar homes in the area.
