This property was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it and book again next time I'm in Charleston. The host was super responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. The spacious house and grounds allowed my family to relax both indoors and out. The beautifully decorated house was clean and had all that we needed.
Excellent location for all Charleston has to offer. Neighborhood was quiet, safe. Loved outdoor spaces for grilling, games, smores. Host was incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. Kitchen was well equipped, and all the beds were very comfortable. Home does need some cosmetic repairs.
Lovely, clean, and well-furnished home on a nice size piece of property. Very comfortable there! Location was great, anywhere we wanted to go (we were on vacation) to downtown, to the beach, to Mt. Pleasant was not more than 15 minutes away. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!
We were excited to find a place large enough to accompany our family. We chose it based off photos that matched the description however we found quickly that was somewhat incorrect. We arrived and the door was unlocked and that was concerning as we werenât sure if we should enter. We then found out quickly that the owner lived nearby and by that I mean in the backyard. That is OK however the host/owner was mowing and doing lawn care during our first day. On the second day we awoke and found more lawn care and a tent in the direct lawn being put up. We have younger kids who wanted to be outdoors and play and enjoy the good weather however they could not do so as this felt very intrusive in multiple ways. When you get away with your family for a vacation, you hope for a place of relaxation and privacy. Our boys felt as if they were being watched by the gentleman who resides in the neighboring home as did we. It was difficult to understand if we were invading the hosts privacy, or if he was invading our we would not choose to stay here again, however weâre grateful for the opportunity to be in South Carolina.
Two friends and I stayed at the house, it was perfect for a small group with 3 similar bedrooms. The outdoor kitchen and overall layout were great along with the pool table. Lots of space and an easy 10 minute Uber to downtown Charleston.
I really liked this property. Weâve stayed at so many around Charleston and this one really checked all my boxes. Location was great, property had everything we needed and the host was fantastic. So friendly! I would book here again for sure.
This is a great house with a great host. You are 10-15 minutes from almost everything. My boys loved the pool table. If you are thinking of going to Charleston this is the place you want to stay.
This property is definitely accurate as listed and pictured. We really enjoyed this charming home and spacious outdoor/backyard area. The home is lovely. It is a quick trip to downtown Charleston and Folly Beach. It suited our family well, and we had a great time!
Lovely property and home that was perfect for our family of four. Very conveniently located for both the city and Folly Beach. So much to do within a 30 min drive.
Our teens enjoyed the pool table. The living space was very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Ample outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather. Would highly recommend!
The house was ideal for our group. The beds very comfortable!
The outdoor spaces were fantastic, especially the deck.
The owner was flexible and compassionate when we needed to extend our stay due to a medical situation. Thank you.
I will definitely stay here again next time Iâm in CH!
Air conditioning had a hard time keeping the upstairs cool. It was very hot outside so I can understand the unit having trouble keeping up. There were several light bulbs that needed to be replaced and would have liked to have had waste baskets in bedrooms . House had most everything we needed, but might consider a microwave. Kids loved the pool table. It was all about the location for us.
We recently stayed at the property and had a fantastic time. The outdoor fireplace area is great. We grilled out several times and enjoyed talking and watching TV by the fire. The house is very neatly decorated and the pool table was a hit with our adult children. They didn't have a few channels on the TV that we wanted so we called Joe and he brought over an HDMI cable so we could stream the channels on the TV. The beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed great nights of sleep. The location of the house is so great. Easy to get to Kiawah, to Folly Beach, or to downtown Charleston. Overall an amazingly great place to stay!
If there are any suggestions we would give for future guests it would be:
1. Have more shared condiments. Things like shampoo, soap, ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, salad dressings, etc.
2. Be a bit more clear on what is shared for guests vs. what is the homeowners private property not to be shared. For example, we weren't sure if we could use the firewood on the side of the house. But I asked and Joe did quickly clarify that we could indeed use it.
Wow! Stop looking and book this home. It's exactly what we needed. We explored the surrounding areas which were only 15 minutes or less away so the location is perfect no matter if you're wanting to spend time at the beach, plantations, museums, shopping orjust relaxing.
Great Property, Great Location, Great Property Manager
Everything was just as expected and the weekend stay was flawless. The property is excellently maintained, and access is very simple. I would definitely book this property again.
Well appointed property; plenty of towels, dishes and cookware. Exceptional outdoor eating and entertainment space. We thoroughly enjoyed the property, we had friends and family over and the outdoor space was a godsend. The pool table came in handy for entertainment as well. Overall we enjoyed the property and I would definitely recommend it for a family gathering.
Place, location, Owner Joe all really great. This was a first time for us doing this type of stay. Owner was helpful and welcoming, this place and experience did not disappoint, we'd stay exactly at this location again.
Thank You
We came down to Charleston for a bachelor party weekend and stayed here. The house was very nice. Decorated with tasteful furniture and art on the wall. The outdoor space was a very nice addition we used to grill out and enjoyed spending time lounging around the deck. The property was large and off the road enough to where you couldnât really hear any traffic and had good privacy. We actually met the owner by circumstance and he was an extremely nice man. I could tell he cares for the comfort and privacy of the renters. If you are looking for a nice relaxed, quiet place with everything you need, this is the place to go.

I enjoy sports, the arts and relationship with people of various cultures. I'm a proud father of 5 and grandfather to 4 beautiful children. The house is a collection of memorabilia of grand experiences.
