The house was so cozy and stocked with anything you would need for your stay. The close proximity to the small town was a huge bonus for my family. We enjoyed being able to walk to lunch and breakfast. Being ablento walk the trails of the wetlands practically in the backyard was out favorite part.

Amazing communication from our host and a great location for our visit to watch our son graduate boot camp. Only 5 minutes away from the checkpoint on Parris Island and had everything that would could possibly need already stocked! Beautiful, cozy home in a nice neighborhood with trails and a very nice park within walking distance for the kids to get the zoomies out! Overall great experience. If you’re looking to find a place close to the Marine Corps Depot, or just visiting the area, highly recommended!

Marine Graduation

We came down for graduation at Parris Island for our son. We were 10 minutes from the main gate on base. It was so easy to get there from the house. Lots of places to eat and the neighborhood was super quiet. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to stay.

Beautiful Home Away from Home

The condo was exactly as advertised and more. It was beautiful, comfortable and accommodating in every way. We fully utilized every aspect inside and out. The home is very close to Parris Island for graduations and restaurants for enjoyment. It’s walking distance to quaint town for food or shopping. We enjoyed our stay immensely.
