We don’t typically leave reviews, but since we rely on them when booking, we wanted to share a few observations to help future guests know what to expect.The poolhouse is modern, stylish, and thoughtfully decorated. There are a few practical details worth noting. Both the upstairs loft bedroom and downstairs have many windows with light-filtering shades. While beautiful during the day, the primary bedroom stays quite bright at night due to exterior patio lighting from the main house and nearby streetlights. If you’re sensitive to light while sleeping, this may be something to consider as it was an issue for both my husband I myself. The primary bathroom lighting is very dim, particularly in the late afternoon and evening, which made getting ready challenging. In addition, the separate toilet room door would not stay closed, which limited privacy. The bathrobes were a thoughtful addition; however, one of ours had visible stains that appeared to be blood. In a property positioned at this price point, that was concerning and not acceptable from a cleanliness standpoint. Lastly, there were several reminders and posted notes encouraging guests to tip the cleaning staff. We absolutely value the work that goes into preparing a property, though given that a cleaning fee is already included in the booking, the repeated requests felt unexpected. Guests may simply want to be aware of that. With a few small practical adjustments — it could be an even more comfortable stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar, 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review — we genuinely appreciate guests who help us improve the experience for future visitors. We're so glad you loved the style and décor of the poolhouse! We do want to sincerely apologize for the issues that fell short of expectations. The stained bathrobe is completely unacceptable and has been flagged with our cleaning team immediately — that is not the standard we hold ourselves to, especially at this price point, and we're truly sorry that made it into your room. The toilet door latch has also been added to our maintenance list to address right away. Your feedback on the bedroom lighting and bathroom brightness is really helpful — we'll look into solutions like blackout options and improved vanity lighting to make the space more functional for all guests. We also appreciate your candid note about the tipping reminders. We'll take a look at how that comes across and make sure it feels appropriate rather than pressured. We hope that despite these hiccups, you were still able to enjoy your time in Charleston, and we truly hope to have the chance to make it right if you're ever back in town!

My husband and I stayed here for four nights. What a great getaway to Charleston! This house was perfect for the two of us. It was very quiet at night, and we loved the courtyard. We took a dip in the pool multiple times. The location of this property is close to lots of shopping and restaurants. The property had everything we could need, and it felt as if some thought was put into what went into the property (amenities and toiletries). We loved our stay here!
