Overall we really enjoyed staying here. We did think the lack of basic amenities like a bath mat and extra blankets was interesting, but overall it didn’t affect our stay that much. The location was excellent right on the beach and we enjoyed watching the surfers.

The accommodations were good and the location was great. The only things lacking were a spatula and a can opener. Funny huh? Also the windows in the living area were not covered especially the one next to the stairs going upstairs.

My family and I really fully enjoyed our stay here. It is a great location and an even better that helps to accommodate all of your needs. The only recommendation(s) I have is a retractable roof for the patio. In addition, more room for parking because it can get a little cramped if someone is staying in the upstairs unit during your stay. Besides that everything else was perfect.

Nice weekend spot

Great HQ for a weekend in the Charleston area. Local spots for seafood, even pizza delivery (make sure you know if you’re East or West on the island!) Property was clean, located right on the beach. Comfortable beds.
