Amazing location with a solid property. The front porch was great. While a little dated, everything worked well. The kitchen was well portion. We had a great time and the host.

The house is decorated very nicely. The housekeeping needs to be improved. Kitchen and bathrooms need to be cleaned. Drawers not clean and shower liner had mold on it.
5 minute walk to beach, 5 minute walk to bars restaurants - couldn't be more convenient. Property is as listed and clean. Great for a fun weekend with friends.

Thank you, Pam! We're so glad you enjoyed the comfort and convenience of the home, as well as the nearby town and beach. It's great to hear the location worked well for you, and we're happy that our team was responsive to your needs. We’d love to have you back anytime!
This house is a perfect base to explore the area. The beach and the restaurants are just steps away. Easy drive to any other area of Charleston. The house is very clean and comfortable, with new furniture on the porch and family room. We spent a ton of time relaxing on the screened porch. The property managers were very responsive and friendly when we had questions. We would stay again!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Nicole! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and the comfort of the home. It sounds like the screened porch was the perfect spot to unwind! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Wonderful location. Nice and clean. Comfortable bed and sheets. Nice to have two sofas and so many Channel options on the TV as well as Netflix and Amazon prime. Nice back porch with view of the river. Very responsive and friendly host. Good kitchen. Also nice to have two bathrooms. Owner plans to make some needed cosmetic updates to the bathroom. But it was perfectly adequate. Would definitely go back again!
The house was exactly as advertised. It was great. One suggestion:
It seems the house is well suited for two small families. As it is today, the two master bathrooms share a bathroom. It would have made more sense for our families (and perhaps for others) if one of the master bedrooms was moved to the other side of the house. That way, two families can share the bathroom with their kids. Hopefully that makes sense.
Otherwise, the house was exactly what we were looking for. The beds/pillows were comfortable. Everything worked in the house. It is well located, just a walk to the beach and to all the retail/various restaurants on Sullivan's.
Many thanks!
