Currently our favorite house rental, from over two decades of renting houses for family gatherings.Pros: The house was nicer than expected, fitted out better than usual, clean and well-kept, and nicely appointed. Cons: _ Multiple very long lists of instructions and rules, with many variations between similar instructions. This made reading-up arduous and time-consuming. We suggest only using one common instruction set for all communications._ Internet went down, though this was easily fixed._ The freezer broke down during our trip. Repairing it took a while, though the timing was understandable given the weekend/holiday time frame. However there was a lot of cleanup, we lost a fair amount of food, and one of us had to stay in the house for about six hours for the repairperson. There were no sympathies offered, nor interest in whether we lost food, nor appreciation for having to deal with this issue.
This is a beautiful house. So big & spacious. Perfect for our family of 8 adults and 6 children.
The house had tons of space and we really appreciated the proximity to the beach and all the beach equipment. The kitchen was well equipped and appliances top notch. An elevator would have been nice, but guess we needed the exercise. Pam, from the rental agency, was available for any questions or issues we might have. We will definitely return.
We enjoyed our stay at Hunley house immensely. We had several families with young children and older relatives. Lots of space to gather and get a moment of peace. Located on a quiet cul de sac it is an easy walk down the boardwalk to a beautiful beach. Everything you need for a beach vacation is at your finger tips. Would definitely go again.
This gorgeous home is the perfect place to stay when visiting Isle of Palms. The home is huge, charming, and clean! It fit 14 adults perfectly. It overlooks the ocean, is a 5 min walk to the beach, and about a 30 min drive to downtown Charleston. The pictures featured donât do this home justice - itâs a beautiful vacation rental that you wonât want to leave!
The house is beautiful and the location is wonderful. The beds were cozy and plentiful and the living space accommodated our large group very well. The house has plenty of chairs for the beach and towels. I would say bring garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, and dishwasher detergent pods but other than that we enjoyed our stay very much!
This group of nine friends has been renting VRBOs for years all over the country for an annual reunion. This home was declared the best yet! Kitchen was beautifully stocked, bath towels were in abundance, and views were spectacular. The manager could not have been more accommodating. We would highly recommend this home.
The pictures do not do this property justice! Very nice leather furniture in great room, well stocked kitchen, and great location. Pam Ryker, property manager, was great to work with and was easy to contact. This property works great for family reunions!
This is a must stay for you and your family to the area. Check-in was a breeze and communication with the property manager was stress free. The location in proximity to the beach could not have been easier for our family including the little one in the group. Highly recommended!
House is clean and comfortable and was perfect for our group of adult family and friends! Pictures do not do it justice!! The kitchen is huge and well stocked. Plenty of beach chairs and beach towels, so no need to bring them. Location is wonderful! A few steps to beach access walk and 25 min to downtown Charleston! Host was excellent!
I cannot say enough about the house, it was beautiful and had plenty of room for our wedding party, our reception got rained out so we did it in the garage and it turned out beautiful.
For many years my wifeâs parents, sisters and brothers, along with numerous nieces and nephews have rented a vacation house to celebration Easter. Then life happened, parents age and sadly they are no longer here. Then folks move out of state and the last 2 years were hard. This was the year! We decided on the Charleston area and everyone loves the beach! When we found the Hunley, we were thrilled. It was perfect for our large clan. The place was large enough for our numerous dinners and game time. Plenty of beds and bathrooms and the porch is wonderful. The beach is just across the street and it is on a road with no public beach parking!
When we go back to Charleston for our next family get together, I would stay here again!
The house was great as well as the location. It was big and had most of what we needed except for laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent and trash bags. The dishwasher also broke and I couldnât get in touch with the property manager in order to get the maintenance guys number. I was able to fix it but it was annoying given that it was my vacation. In the end, I would definitely come back and recommend the stay.
This house was perfect for our trip. We had plenty of room. We gathered in both the living and kitchen area. We had a pretty large group and the kitchen was a good size for us to all help cook and sit around and chat. The front porch was awesome to sit and enjoy the weather. Great location, super close to the beach. We would stay here again.
Itâs prettier than the pictures! So open and easy for a large family/group to hang out, have dinner, watch movies. Such a short walk to the beach, and the porches are amazing.
Ten of us met at the Hunley House for a college reunion and it was perfect! The house is beautiful, spacious, and has everything you need for a great vacation!
This home was perfect for our family get together! It is close to the beach and they provided plenty of beach chairs and towels. The interior is larger than it appeared in the photos and very nicely decorated. Kitchen had everything we needed.
The house was well equipped and comfortable. We especially loved the big porches with ample seating for relaxing and dining.
We enjoyed playing games in the evenings on the porch or at the big dining table. (The Clue game was missing too many parts to be played and the Dominoes seemed to be two sets mixed together. Maybe the games should be inventoried.)
The house is privately owned by 2 business partners from Indianapolis and managed by Pam Ryker. The Hunley House is the owners only vacation rental property.
Charleston and Isle of Palms offer a fabulous beach vacation and historical adventure in one package! The Hunley House is well equipped and appointed to make your visit as comfortable as being at home.
