Shawn’s apartment is spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated. It has everything you need on the kitchen and a washer and dryer if you have an extended stay. The bed in the master bedroom was really comfortable and both bedrooms were spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This was not my clean at all. It definitely needed a deep cleaning. A lot of dust and dirt on walls, food in the chair cushions, dirty fans and food splatters on the kitchen cabinets. It served its purpose for us. The owner was easy to work with and the property was older but nice area. We did enjoy watching the alligators in the water. The screened in porch was nice in the mornings and evenings. Overall, it could use some tlc -

Great Place to Stay!

We spent 8 nights at this property. It was very clean and well, appointed. Everything we needed was there. Including an air-fryer. Beds are comfortable and the screen balcony was a real treat. I watched all the wildlife around the pond. Nicely, but simply decorated. Should be called the Orchid Retreat for the orchid theme throughout.

First day there, a police officer knocked on the door and said I was staying at an illegal VRBO and now that I am aware, I could be fined. Security gate personnel also were very sketchy and skeptical each time we drove through the gate, so we felt unsafe the whole time. Owner did not confirm he had the correct paperwork.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Feb 2026
Thank you for sharing your concerns. I’m truly sorry that your arrival experience caused you to feel uncomfortable. I want to clarify that the community is actually one of the safest neighborhoods in the area. The security guards are very thorough and require identification from everyone entering the community. While this can sometimes feel inconvenient, their diligence is intended to ensure the safety of all residents and guests. The property management has also recently implemented an improved system to make reentry smoother. Regarding the visit from the code enforcement officer, there was a misunderstanding. The officer had the wrong unit number—this property is a properly permitted short-term rental (STR) and is fully compliant. I sincerely apologize again that the situation affected your level of comfort during your stay. As shared previously, I extended a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill. Your peace of mind is important to me, and I appreciate you bringing your concerns forward.

Well-priced and comfortable condo

Quiet property in a condo neighborhood in North Charleston. We appreciated that it was affordable for a four-night stay to see things in and around the Charleston area. Grocery store was close by. Other than a too-soft-for-me mattress, we were very pleased. Communication with owner/host was very good.

Beds were comfortable and screened in porch was very nice place to relax. This condo definitely needs an overhaul. Sliding door didn't lock and dishwasher didn't work. Communication with host was excellent.
