Liked: Location
There were absolutely no spices/condiments or anything to use for seasoning so we had to buy everything. There was one pot with no lid.. Whoever took the pictures online needs an award!! Every time we left the house for extended periods of time we would come back in the house temp would be changed and warm in there.. Neither one of us were informed until the 3/4 of the way through our trip that owner is on the premises. We all felt this should’ve been disclosed several times during check-in.I guess we missed it in the listing.
This was our view, which was not in the pictures

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Apr, 2026
Thank you for your feedback—we appreciate you taking the time to share it. We do our best to keep the kitchen clean and uncluttered, which means we don’t store opened or used condiments between guests, but we understand that can be unexpected and will look at ways to better communicate that. Regarding the home, we do note in the listing that the owner lives on the property in a separate space, which is also a common requirement for this area. We’ll review how clearly that’s presented to make sure it’s easy to catch. We’re glad you enjoyed the home overall and appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to improve.

The perfect stay

This was our first time visiting the Charleston area and found this property perfect for what we needed. There was plenty of room for six guests. The host Jon was super friendly and very accommodating. The house was clean and the all the mattresses were very comfortable. The location is perfect whether you’re going to Folly beach or downtown. The fact that it was pet friendly was a life saver. We would definitely rent again.

Great spot for family trip

Had a great stay at the home, was great location, central to everything, and the host Jonathon was great. He allowed us to drop some things off and change at the house when we had a last minute change of plans and arrived a couple hours early of check in and he was very attentive during the stay and made sure everything was great. Hope to be back in further if available.

Great host

Jonathon was a great and very accommodating host and the location was perfect! We would have given our stay there a 10/10 but due to some uncleanliness issues inside and outside from past guests, an unkept looking backyard, and an old camper in the backyard (the photos of the property showed a small shed, not a camper) caused us to need to lower our review.
