Parking was cramped. We had 2 cars, a truck and golf cart. Master shower water pressure was weak. The paper towels and toilet paper were too thin. The deck needed refinishing, had splinters. Could not get the fire place on the deck to work. Did not use the master tub because the stopper would not work. Thought bedrooms should have had trash cans. Beds were comfortable, rooms spacious, kitchens well supplied with cooking utensils and china and silverware. Really enjoyed our stay.

This home fit our family perfectly. We loved the open space where we could be together, but also the large spaces and bedrooms for us to have privacy as individual families. The bathrooms were so spacious! This was definitely one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed in.

Wonderful

The house was very clean, comfortable and close to the beach. The only negative was that Google maps took us to the back of the house where there were no house identification. After walking up trail to the house and discovering we had to walk around to find the front of the house , we discovered the correct road to the house.

Great beach week

Good location with easy one block walk to uncrowded section of beach. House was clean and comfortable. No beach equipment available so you need to rent. Stair was broken on arrival but property manager responded quickly and it was fixed a few days later. Overall a great week at the beach.

Enjoyed the property with grill and deck great place to be! The path to the beach had warning of snakes and I am not a lover of snakes. The bedrooms stack for great privacy. The extra room with television would be great for children or two families. Love the house.

There was plenty of space for everyone and the location/easy access to the beach was great. The management team was responsive when we needed a few things and they took care of it quickly.

Friends Reunion

Our stay overall was great! The beds were comfy and the house was clean. Beach access was easy and super convenient. The only things that were minor issues were the doors. The patio door is really difficult to open and the front door doesn’t stay shut without the dead bolt. Also, none of the doors in the house really latched. It’s also important to note that this house can only sleep 12 and that’s if you have two in each bed and two on the sleeper sofa. When I originally booked it said sleeps 14.

Great base for exploring Charleston and Isle of Palms

Amy's house provided a great base for exploring Charleston and the Isle of Palms during the three nights my wife, daughter, mother-in-law, and I stayed there between Christmas and New Year's. It's an easy 30-minute drive to Charleston and, as advertised, literally a 3-minute walk to a gorgeous, long, clean beach. Directions were clear and check-in was easy. The house was spacious and immaculately clean, with comfortable beds, nice spaces for lounging, and a well-supplied kitchen. It's somewhat close to the street on one side but noise was negligible, and the deck on that side still felt private. We're happy we chose it.
