Great stay

We had a great stay at this unit. The kitchen/living area was spacious and clean, the outdoor area was lovely and private, and the bbq joint next door was a huge bonus. We were traveling with our baby and needed a crib, which was mentioned in the listing but not in the unit when we arrived, but Kit was able to provide one very quickly.

Amazing stay!

This was our first time using VRBO and we had a great experience. The owner is kind and responds quick. The place was very clean and modern, the pictures don’t do it justice! This place looks even better in person! Great spot between downtown and Folly Beach. Having beach chairs on the property for us to use was very nice. Thank you for having us and we will for sure be back!

Made our Vacation!

The property was absolutely amazing. It had a little bit of everything. The outdoor are was phenomenal in the afternoon as it gave the family time to play outside after our day at the beach. The house itself felt like a home. The family and I have put this on our list of favorites and will plan to come back again!
