The house is charming and in a great location, within easy walking distance of the May River and the shops/restaurants in downtown Bluffton. The host was quick to respond to our concerns and lives next door.Unfortunately, the lack of adequate window coverings really put a damper on our stay. The shutters cover only the lower half of the windows throughout the house, including both bedrooms, creating privacy concerns since you can see in/out from neighboring houses and even the front porch. I can only imagine how bright the bedrooms would be on sunny mornings, though fortunately, it rained both mornings of our stay.On our first night, we were awakened around 3 a.m. by bright headlights shining into our bedroom from a truck parked in the empty lot across the street. The lights stayed on for over an hour, which was frustrating and unsettling. I messaged the host upon arrival and again after this incident, but there wasn’t much she could do. She explained that blinds were scheduled to be installed but that coordinating a time between guest stays had been a challenge. We stayed in early October, and I now see that other reviews had also mentioned the window coverings, so this concern had been raised previously.With proper blinds for privacy and light control, an upgraded coffee maker, a coffee table in the living room, and fewer knickknacks, this property could be a much more comfortable stay. The location is great, but these improvements would make a big difference.
