Great location, perfect family property

My family of 5 enjoyed a fantastic stay at this property in Mount Pleasant. The location is ideal--a quiet, beautiful neighborhood close to everything we wanted. The host was very good about checking on us but not overly communicative--just right. The property was well maintained and had everything we needed including great family games and a well equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.

Home is close to everything. Nice and quiet. Very clean. We loved the fenced-in yard and the patio outside. The bingo game was super fun as well.
