Very nice place to stay - only minor criticism is that it would have been beneficial to know there is no dishwasher and no hair dryer - we could have prepared better.

We are so glad you enjoyed Serenity Now and appreciate the feedback. We do want to note that the absence of a dishwasher is highlighted with asterisks in the property description, and our pre-arrival information includes a suggested packing list to help guests prepare - hair dryers are among the items noted, as they are not standard amenities across our Edisto vacation homes. We will continue to look for ways to make that information as visible as possible so future guests arrive fully prepared. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The highlight of the property was its location to the beach. Walk out the front door, and you're a few hundred feet to one of two public access points to spend the day at the ocean. We were disappointed in overall condition of the property. The interior walls are OSB sheathing, not drywall, and as such, the graining of the product and even the printed material listing is visible through paint in locations like the bathroom. The kitchen cabinets and drawers have been used and abused. It would be good to see this property get an overhaul. The bathrooms themselves also were dated and worn out. Both the front and side poarches are in need of replacement. There were a couple of boards that had been replaced recently, but overall, they were in poor condition.We also found trash in the yard, most likely tossed there by passersby that we picked up. Overall, a good experienece, but I think the cost of the weekend didn't mirror our expectations.

We are so glad the location delivered - steps from two beach access points really is hard to beat!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were clean, as we take great care in preparing the home for each arrival. Regarding the sleeper sofa and sectional, our team did respond promptly and assisted when contacted. The sofa is white and has been professionally steam-cleaned multiple times throughout the season, and we apologize that it did not meet your expectations during this stay.
Serenity Now consistently receives excellent feedback from guests, and we regret that your experience did not reflect the positive stays others have enjoyed. We appreciate you taking the time to share your comments.

Inside was unique....open and spacious. Kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of counter space. 2 BR and 2 BA was very convenient. Very peaceful on the side porch in both mornings and evenings. The patio under the house could be a real sanctuary but is in need of tree, bush and under brush clean up.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We’re so glad you enjoyed the open layout and peaceful atmosphere of the home, especially on the side porch. We appreciate your feedback about the patio area and are happy to share that the homeowners have since arranged for their lawn crew to do a light cleanup of the bushes. Their goal was to maintain shade and privacy while making the space more inviting and usable. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Serenity Now is a beautiful little cottage located a short walk from the beach. We loved the decor and the beautiful beachy artwork throughout the cottage and the ceiling molding! So pretty! The dining table and chairs were our favorite furniture in the cottage. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and dishware. We loved the landscape surrounding the cottage for privacy. The front porch was lovely, and the table of shells was fun as former guests wrote their names and date of stay on the shells. We left a pretty white oyster shell to commemorate our stay.
Everything was just as advertised. Was shocked it was right across the street from Whaley’s famous seafood joint and that was a nice surprise. Also the pizza place next door had amazing garlic knots which came in handy since I left the garlic bread at home I planned to make with spaghetti. Kitchen was well stocked. I couldn’t believe how close this was to the beach. Very nice surprise. I would stay here again and again. Our little family had the best weekend and as always, it ended too soon. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great stay!

Relaxing and comfortable cottage which is close to beach
We enjoyed our stay at Edisto and Serenity Now. It was a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to Whaleys a favored restaurant of locals and visitors. Our check in process was not what we expected since we never got the email about the office being closed on Sat..We did not see the instructions for the wi-fi since it was posted on the refrigerator behind the entrance door. Had to call an emergency number and was given a voice message about 3/12 hrs. later. A welcome folder with info about the TV, stove and local attractions would have been nice and what we had come to expect from our former VRBO stays. Overall, though, it was a very enjoyable visit.
and different attractions would have been nice. Also,
beach chairs in good condition would have been appreciated and had been provided previously.
