Nice spacious 3 bedroom place for the price. Listed as bare bones, and yes, it was. So, we were not upset. Suited our needs for long weekend- but did make a walmart trip for paper towels, tissues, and a couple other essentials. Doors tended to stick on bed rooms and bathroom, and floors could have been a bit cleaner- socks got dark bottoms rather quickly - so we made sure to leave shoes on while in house. Expect to hear traffic from main road. Again suited our needs we did not spend much time there. Good location to Folly Beach and Charleston.
