The property is in a lovely historic home and area. The inside is charming and thoughtfully decorated. There are extra amenities that go above and beyond. The host communication was great and the sweet bread waiting was a an extra special touch.

This cozy spot was perfectly appointed and a short walk to downtown Summerville. The hosts thought of everything and the space was quiet and private. Super comfy bed, lots of hot water and great water pressure made for a great experience.
What an excellent find this was! Perfect for our short stay. Didnât get to meet our host until just before checking out, but she was absolutely lovely! And of myâŚthe apple cake was Devine! What a great welcome treat for our grumbling bellies!
Great place in perfect location. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Clean and stocked with essentials and had us some delicious banana bread waiting for us.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property! The home beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfectâclose to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in and check-out a breeze. We especially appreciated the little touches like the welcome banana bread, welcome basket, water in the refrigerator, k-cups, sugar and creamer and local recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again!
From initial contact with JoDee to check out, she was amazing to work with! The location and room are perfect for walkability into downtown Summerville to farmers market, boutique shopping, coffee shops, restaurants and bars! Room was perfect for 2 of us, included a nice selection of Keurig coffee and tea, microwave and toaster oven. The bathroom was perfect size for adding your toiletries to the vanity top etc. Thanks again for a great stay at the Pink Dolphin, weâll be back!
