The house was clean and the home owner responsive to any questions we had. The neighborhood is quiet and much time was spent at the dock fishing or simply sitting and taking in the outdoors. The location lent itself well to everything we wanted to do in Mount Pleasant and Charleston.

Perfect retreat!!

My now husband and I stayed here for the week of our wedding and it was absolutely perfect for us! The ample space both inside and out was great! The upgraded open kitchen and screened in porch with beautiful views of the water was the perfect retreat!It was just like the pictures and description. Location couldn’t have been better- close to everything we needed. The best part was the owner was super helpful and flexible with us. We are already looking at going back!

Peaceful retreat

This is a very nice property and a great place to relax. Close enough to everything and still quiet area. For the most part, it lived up to our expectations. The water level depends on the tide. When the tide is out, not much water is at the dock. There is not an area at the dock to swim. Adding a TV to the other 2 bedrooms would be nice. AC seemed to struggle during the hottest parts of the day. Overall this is a great rental and we enjoyed our stay.

Great Stay!

The house was very clean and accurately described. Its location was great, in a great neighborhood, and close to many attractions. The only thing I wish it had was portable outdoor furniture so we could move it around to different locations of the yard. We purchased some cheap bag chairs and left them in the garage for future guest use. The owner was very kind and answered all the questions we had very promptly. We would definitely stay again

Great Family Getaway

This property was perfect for my family during our getaway in the the Charleston area and my son's baseball tournament at The Shipyard Baseball Complex. Great location, close to everything but in a nice quiet neighborhood, and peaceful backyard. Definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting this area.

The house was clean and well maintained. It was super comfortable for five adults. We spent every morning on the dock: drinking coffee and watching the wildlife. I actually don’t have anything negative to say about our stay.

Fabulous!

Our family stayed in this home. We picked this location because it was close to Charleston and to the beach. It was fantastic. Such a relaxing and beautiful place to be on the waterway. The outside enclosed deck, the grilling area, the fishing dock…all lovely. It is spacious, clean and very well appointed.

Great location - perfect vacation rental

We have not been on a family vacation in several years, so we were super excited for this trip. Joe's Mt. Pleasant home did not disappoint, and ended up being the perfect relaxation spot for my family. My dad and fiance love to fish and absolutely loved being right on the water! We were lucky enough to spend NYE here and had an incredible view of multiple different locations setting off fireworks. The property was exactly as described and Joe was super available and had great communication. We would highly recommend this property, close to downtown Charleston, Sullivan's beach, and many fun shops and restaurants in Mt. Pleasant. Highly impressed, we had a great stay!

Great location and nice home! Perfect for us.

We meet up with my kids who both live in SC, one was on break and this house was perfect for us. Close to everything (dining, grocery stores, etc..) in MP and an easy ride into Charleston or IOP. Pretty much everything you need for either going out or for staying in and cooking. Smooth and easy check-in and great communication with the owner. We are in the Charleston area 4+ times per year and this place is a great mix of convenience, value and simplicity.

Wedding week

The property was perfect for us. Our daughter got married at Creek Club at ION. 10-15 minutes away depending on traffic. The open floor design allowed for plenty room for bride & bridesmaids to prep for the wedding. The photographer used the dock as back drop for pre ceremony pictures. We could not found a better place & Joe, the owner was very responsive to few questions we had. Highly recommend this property!!

Shem Creek Christmas

Our stay in Mount Pleasant on Shem Creek with our family for Christmas was amazing. We couldn’t of asked for a better home and surroundings to have rented. Joe was very accommodating and helpful to our questions and his home was beautiful as well as the view from his dock on the creek. Thank you for a great experience.
