So comfortable and close to EVERYTHING
Beautiful property, very accurate to listing! They even had beach chairs, extra towels, blankets! The outdoor space with the fire place was the perfect way to end the night!! The ice machine produced more than enough ice for the beach each day! Centrally located! 12 minutes to IOP, 20 to Wild Dunes, 18 to Folly, and 8 to downtown Charleston! I will absolutely stay here again if I can!!!

Cockroaches! Look elsewhere for a family getaway!
I stayed at this location because of it’s proximity to my brother’s wedding venue—location is about the only nice thing about this stay! We stayed for a week, but we had some serious issue with the property midway through, which were handled in a disgusting manner by the property manager, Ric. The house has a cockroach problem. We killed multiple LARGE roaches with the roach killer… that we discovered in every bathroom and kitchen cabinet in the house (clearly something management was aware of, if they stocked pesticides so thoroughly). We contacted Ric, and we were appalled at how rude he was. Ric offered to cancel the rest of our stay and refund us, but since it was an event weekend in Charleston and the wedding was occupying all of our time, we were unable to move (very limited VRBO/hotel availability). Ric escalated the situation, threatening all sorts of things and coming up with some really clever insults for our group besides ("Taj-Mahal New Yorkers" sticks in my memory as both a racist and intolerant thing to say). Honestly, we have been so disappointed with VRBO and Ric’s wildly unprofessional response to the situation. I would never recommend this house or its manager.

The pictures are deceiving, the property hasn’t been kept up since taking the pictures. The old hardwoods are very dirty, the home also has a musty smell to it. The location is the best thing about this home.

Very pleasant and comfortable house
The house was exactly as we expected. Clean, well furnished, and in a quiet neighborhood, just a short drive to Sullivan’s Island beach. The beds were particularly comfortable and we loved having multiple hangout places. A bonus was how many great restaurants were within walking distance (less than a mile), as well as two excellent grocery stores. Would definitely stay there again if we wanted to return to Mt Pleasant for a working vacation.

The house is in a lovely neighborhood, great for walking, parks, grocery, and restaurants. We were 10 minutes in either direction to Sullivan’s Island, Charleston, and family. The house is fully stocked with everything a family needs.

Beautiful property, conveniently located, responsive host
Great location! There was flooding Charleston during our trip but this property was on higher ground and unaffected. Super comfy beds! Perfect amount of space for our family of five - 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Well-stocked kitchen. Check-in was a bit confusing but Ric was super responsive. We would love to stay in the future! Thanks for a great experience.

Great stay, great location
Charleston is very close. Mt Pleasant is truly pleasant. The house was spacious and as pretty as its pictures. Also functional and comfortable. The backyard is ready for a party or just relaxing. The minor items we brought to Ric's attention were immediately handled in a highly satisfactory manner. Next time we're in the area, we will stay here.
