Perfect location for group of girls!

We stayed here for 3 nights for my sister’s bachelorette weekend in Charleston. The home is perfect for a group stay with multiple bathrooms, kitchen, and outdoor dining area. There were great spots outside for taking photos too. Check in process was easy, property manager was. Wry communicative and it’s very close to a corner store for food and beverages, a coffee shop around the corner, and 2 blocks from King Street for great shopping and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again!

Charleston Celebration

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your Charleston home. The house was beautifully decorated, very clean, and fully stocked with everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious. The area is very close to some great restaurants and shops...but also to the college campus. Guests need to be mindful that there is a lot of activity in the area at all hours. If there was any negative negative comment we would make, it would be about the house on the left as you come in the drive. There were lots of college kids staying or perhaps living there which resulted in increased car & foot traffic in this small area. They partied hard until 4 am Saturday night which made it difficult to sleep, but we realize that to no fault of yours.

Real estate retreat

We were in Charleston for a real estate convention and originally considered hotel rooms and wondered if it would be possible to find a home close to everything that we could all be together. This was a perfect set up and great location and turned out to be the perfect solution for five coworkers to stay in the same place

Family Vacation

The property was very cute and a nice location where we could walk to one end of King St very easily as well as a longer walk to city market and everything on that end. The host was very accommodating with early check in and a later check out, which we really appreciated. The house was decorated very cute. The only thing was the cleanliness. We did notice a lot of bugs, including a cockroach. The coach was pretty noticeably stained and one of the pillows on the bed had a large stain on it as well. Other than the cleanliness of some things it was a great place to stay.

The property was lovely, but Charleston parking is less than convenient. A few minor things needed to be addressed in the property, but overall we had a good experience. Unfortunately we were without WiFi / Internet for the entire stay, supposedly due to weather.

Could Have Been Better…

Our stay in Charleston could have been better. The property was nice and clean upon our arrival. Check-in was also easy. Parking was convenient. Our main purpose was sightseeing and rest. However, due to the presence of roaches AKA “palmetto bugs” we had to secure all of our food in the refrigerator. This included roaches in the kitchen area, i.e. oven, silverware drawers, backsplash, island, counter tops and cabinets. We were appreciative of maintenance responding in a quick manner after our call. Unfortunately, the treatment was not an effective deterrent. We spent the week eating out and keeping our clothes packed away in our suitcases. Our past experiences with VRBO listings/properties have been exceptional, this one could have been better.

Fantasy!

I booked this for a girl’s trip (4 of us) and it absolutely perfect. It was clean and convenient to everything we did. If we decide to visit Charleston again we will definitely book this. If you visit Charleston and need a place to stay you will not be disappointed in this residence.

Perfect Charleston stay

We were in town for a big family wedding. This location was perfect. Walking distance to so much on King st and surrounding area. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Those are about the softest bed linens I’ve ever slept in! (Some of our party wanted more substantial pillows) Everything was easy and the accommodation of our request for a much later check out was so appreciated.

Overall good, but some issues.

Property was pretty much as described. The primary issue was with communications once we arrived. They gave us a text number to use, but that didn’t seem to work. We were contacted from another text number which wasn’t provided to us beforehand. One of the upstairs showers was unusable as the drain was severely clogged. Additionally there were roaches in the kitchen island. Coffee maker tank was dirty/moldy/scaly, so we used the Kuerig instead. A lot of little details that could be easily addressed would make this a 5 star review.
