This property fit our family perfectly! It was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Clean, updated, comfortable beds, shiplap and bead board everywhere, a beachy decor, fire pit (wood provided) kayak and paddle board...the list goes on and on. Even Ellis Creek Fish Camp was a pleasant surprise. Great food, drinks, friendly staff and just a short walk from the house. I was apprehensive about staying so close to a restaurant/bar, but surprisingly we never noticed it or the patrons, even on busy nights. It was still calm, quiet and we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. It actually added to the location, we didn’t have to drive anywhere to find good food or drinks! Kit was a great owner to deal with! She is a very busy lady, so if it takes a minute to get a response to a text or email no worries...she will get in touch with you and you will have a great stay!
Easy to get to various destinations; Charleston, Sullivan’s Island, etc.
