It was enough for the 6 of us and an infant. We enjoyed the Beach and Charleston both.The House had enough parking for 3 vehicles.The layout was open and uncluttered.Getting around to the Attractions was simple because of the Location.
Fun and Fellowship with Family At Sullivanâs Island, SC
Very spacious and convenient location to local shopping, bait-store, and restaurants. Enjoyed the private beach access from the backyard. The grill was nice. The surf fishing was exciting! Everyone had a great time! We definitely want to rent this house again.
Many updates throughout the home made our stay even more comfortable- our 3rd visit to the house. Communication was easy with the owner/manager. Favorite part of the day was mornings to watch the dogs and drink coffee.
This house is in a great location. Unfortunately the path behind the house was flooded and had to go down to next path. There was new furnishings, yet most of other appliances were fine. There was a problem with keys initially but was resolved quickly. The house smelled strongly of chemicals when we arrived and took a full day to air out. Overall the house is in a great location , it could use some updating tho. thanks
Clean. Comfortable beds. Path to beach on the property was long and overgrown, so could not use it. Public walkway was nice. Not a great place for older women (like us at age 82). Bathtub needs something on bottom of tub to keep from slipping and falling down. Musty odor to home. Might want to use these suggestions to accommodate seniors.
Great beach and location but old property with allergy
Great old beach out on Sullivanâs right on the beach. Communication couldnât t have been better. Had everything we needed and we had a great vacation with family friends, very kid friendly. However there is a very strong moth-ball/mold like smell that permeated the house and all of our clothes and belongings. Owner insured me that no moth balls are in the home. However, old carpets caused significant allergies for folks allergic to dust mites and mold. I would not recommend staying here if you are sensitive to strong smells or have allergies. Otherwise, great house.
Three couples were comfortable in this house, two of the three showers were downstairs in the basement but still nice. Had all of the amenities we were looking for along with its own path to the beach.
Very peaceful. Not too many places like that on the 4th of July. Accommodations for cooking large meals as well barbecue worked out well. Enjoyed the beach and watching the many parasailers. Great weekend!
This house is a perfect beach house. There is a path to the beach and they had beach chairs. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The owner was quick to help me by phone with the garage door opener. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is private.
home just like it appears in pictures=dated like the 60âs and exactly as shown, However there is an odor pervading house almost like creosote. We got used to it, but owner had several deodorizes around.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time together as adult siblings at the beach where we spent summers as children. The house was the perfect place for our long weekend of sweet memories.
We had a blast here! Plenty of space indoors and outdoors for our family of 5 with young kids. Weâre able to access the beach quickly to find loads of sand dollars then just as quickly retreat when a stray T-storm popped up. The house and location are great we were so happy to have spent our vacation here.
Very nice property; sparkling clean. We weren't able to use the private access to the beach because a near hurricane made it impossible, but that was no big deal. The host was very responsive to the minor issues we had.
House was perfect! Loved everything about the location and amenities. The post does say King, Queen, and double bed, but it is really a king and two double beds. Also it is a charcoal grill which is good to know before you get there. Definitely considering renting again next year!
The house was perfect for our family trip. We loved the walk to the beach down the private path. The house is well equipped for everything you need. More than we expected. Lots of extras like lawn chairs, laundry, fully stocked kitchen equipment. 3 toilets and 3 showers. Love love!!!
Perfect beach vacation! The house and location were perfect for our family! Loved Sullivanâs Island and enjoyed exploring Charleston! Definitely try The Obstinate Daughter and Poeâs Tavern!!
We definitely enjoyed our stay at the beach house. The house is a little bit of an older style but it's comfortable, clean, and great for relaxing in between beach trips. There are showers on the ground floor just off the garage which makes getting cleaned up after the beach very convenient.
Only complaint was that the path from the backyard to the beach was impassible due to flooding (this is why I only put 4 stars for location). But there was a nice path just down the street so getting to the beach didn't take too long.
Would recommend.
The house worked very well for the 5 of us - family of 4 with adult children and 1 married. Master was great, extra bedrooms were full size beds, and sofa bed was in unairconditioned area which is important to know. Yard was wonderful for corn hole which we brought, screened porch with table for 6, and open deck made for fun family time. Fully stocked kitchen was great. We did have an issue with beach access, but management was very responsive which we appreciated! Overall nothing fancy but had everything we were needing for a beach getaway!
While the property is an older house, it met all our needs for 3 couples and did have a beach feel. Sullivans Island rentals are restricted to older properties, so provides a much quieter and less crowded experience. The water at the beach is shallow so great for wading and strolling. There is a 3 minute walk through vegetation to get to the beach, but no issue. The shower rooms off the garage are a plus. Poe's tavern is a must eatery. Moth ball smell from the January review still exists though.
Not fancy or updated, but a perfect place for our trip. We played golf and fished, so not a lot of house time. Beds were comfortable and everything else was as it should be.
Great yard for outside games and quite private.
A couple of small things:
1. the owner is pretty specific about AC settings, which is understandable. Installing a ceiling fan in the family room and dining area would go along way to negating the need to turn the temp down.
2. A working grill should be a given for a beach rental. This one bothered me a bit as we were planning on cooking out. I asked specifically about it and received a less than convincing response about it "should have one but not sure of the condition..." Well, after seeing the "grill", I can't help but think the condition was in fact known. Essentially, there was no usable grill left.
3. The path to the beach is really too overgrown to use. There is pubic access very close by, so not a big deal. But that said, if you have a private path to the beach, why not spend an hour or two and make it usable?
4. While clean, the mothball smell in the house was noticeable every time you walked in. Unpacking back home, it was noticeable again...
