As others have mentioned in reviews that we saw, the pictures don’t do it justice. It has a beautiful view! All kitchen supplies were there to use and the bed was super comfortable! We were here to tour Charleston. It was so nice to come back to a beautiful home after a long day in the city.

Fabulous hosts and property!

We spent two nights in the area, beaches, sight seeing and seafood. This beautiful property is close to everything, yet tucked away from the traffic and crowds. It is breathtaking and peaceful, beautiful and comfortable at a price point that’s affordable!

Beautiful River view! We enjoyed hanging on the dock and soaking up the views. There are many good restaurants to choose from in the area. The Angel Oak Tree is spectacular! Spent a day at Folly Beach and visited the Charleston tea farm, which is very interesting.

Awesome location

The owner was very accommodating and helpful and the place was beautiful. The main floor had a kitchen and sliders to a deck overlooking the water with an amazing dock where we sat and socialized. The second floor had the living room bedroom and bathroom also with a deck. The pool was awesome. Everything we needed was available. Awesome trip.
