We were a party of 4 and the property fit our needs very well. The kitchen was great and well appointed. Living room was large enough and we loved the large outdoor porch which we always used in early morning and evening. I loved the area but it is a good 25 - 40 minute walk downtown . Would definitely stay there again.

Adorable, clean home walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the hosts even had bonus amenities like bug spray, sunblock and even earplugs for light sleepers. They were very responsive and accommodating. We would certainly stay again.

Overall, Sand Swept worked out really well for us. Our one complaint is that maintenance came twice during our stay to fix the leaky air conditioning pump in the downstairs bedroom when we weren’t expecting them. Advance notice would have been preferred, but our stay was great outside of that, and we enjoyed the location! Easy walk to king street. We loved the bagel shop right down the road.

Great location we were able to easily walk and enjoy Charleston. A couple great restaurants on the same block and the home was beautiful, very nicely furnished, beds were extremely comfortable. Only one bad item - we spent too much shopping because it was so convenient! Looking forward to our next visit. We would highly recommend this one.

Lovely house- newly renovated, comfortable, well appointed, clean and as described. We had a full house (2 parents and 7 teenage girls) - 2 girls slept on the pull out couch that they said was comfortable. 3 bathrooms worked for our group. They aren’t generous on the towels but we used washer/dryer. Was very happy that with so many people showering the pressure was great and we didn’t run out of hot water! 5 min walk to Upper King St was very convenient. Property manager very responsive. Overall great weekend.

Greta location and very new, clean house

Walking distance to most of what the old town area of Charleston has to offer. Quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Very nice to have ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom. Parking situation is tight but luckily we were the only car at the time. Would stay again
