Location, location, location! Our daughter’s wedding was at Alhambra Hall. We live about 60 miles away so we knew we wanted to be closer. We also needed somewhere with outdoor space for our dogs. This was perfect for what we needed. After the event, we enjoyed walking to Shem Creek. The house was comfortable and the bed linens were delightful. The bathroom is tiny but to be expected in a house of this time period. The yard was great for the dogs; better lighting would be a great addition. Joe was very responsive with our pre-check in questions. The posting didn’t mention that there is a pet fee and another unit that shares the yard. Overall, great choice for our home base during all the festivities!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Shuford

Host profile image
I am semi retired from the medical business and my wife is a nurse at MUSC. We own several properties next door and are big fans of this area. We have one son and live in the old village in Mt Pleasant. In fact our home is only 4 blocks away from this property. Though we have recently acquired this property it is our goal to provide the best experience possible for your stay. The previous owner has done a fantastic job renovating and setting the tone of happy clients for the last 3 years. We plan to carry on that same level of service in hopes that you return for many more visits to our wonderful city.

Why they chose this property

You cannot get a better location than this one. A private house one block from Shem Creek. The beaches are close, the heart of Charleston is a 12 minute drive and inside of 3 blocks are coffee shops, restaurants, a beverage super store, antique malls and more. All this and a very nice private property with outdoor living space.

What makes this property unique

Clean, modern and Location, Location, Location.
