We stayed at this property during our daughter's wedding weekend in Charleston. The home was beautiful and fit our family of 8 very comfortably. It was close to all of our activities in downtown Charleston and the host was very easy to work with. The house is stocked with all of the essentials making for a very enjoyable stay. The parking spots behind the home were ideal as we had two vehicles during our stay. I would highly recommend this property for large groups staying in the Charleston area!

We had a cousins weekend together! Everything was fabulous! The host provided snacks and drinks!! We had plenty of room for everyone and every bedroom was comfortable and appealing. This home has everything you need from parking, plentiful towels and toiletries, stocked kitchen, and even corn hole! So convenient to downtown or a quick trip across the bridge to Mt. Pleasant or Isle of Palm. Absolutely would stay here on our next trip! Thank you for your hospitality!

The house was clean, great location and easy access to downtown Charleston. We really appreciated the comfy beds and all of the little extras. The snacks, bottled water and treats were a big hit. The multiple umbrellas to use were invaluable during our rainy stay. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Charleston!

This is an older home in a residential area on a one-way street, which you can easily navigate to points of interest! Away from the immediate bustle of downtown and no view of the Battery, BUT, still quite charming! It’s best to unload from parking spots and enter through the back door to the kitchen. Keypad was user friendly. Be ready for the typical steps of older homes, though! A little steep and lots of them! Our favorite thing was the long dining room table where we could gather to talk, as a family the first night! Comfortable seating for our 10 people. We had to pull up chairs to make that work in the “living room”, but that was fine. The host made it very welcoming with snacks, coffee, complimentary “rainbow row” water bottles and “rainbow row” umbrellas to borrow. There was nicely restored hard wood floors and the unique (actual) penny lacquered foyer floor! Charming bird/floral wallpaper in that same entrance with muted colored (calming) painted walls throughout the rest of this older home. Bedrooms with comfy mattresses, along with upper-end linens and nice fresh towels! The redone lighting was well thought out and sufficient! Closets a little small, but suitcases racks available, as well as dresser drawers. Terry cloth robes was an unexpected perk; especially if you had a bedroom w/o a bathroom attached. (only two didn’t) so no problem!Upper “Eagles’ Nest” bedroom is quite the climb—-but once there, a cool refuge w/ door shut and A/C on!

Great bachelorette weekend

Ted & Erin were great hosts! From accommodating our early check-in request to the cute water bottles & snack gifts left for us, they truly thought of everything. There were an abundance of towels and everyone was talking about how comfortable the beds were. The location was great, just a short walk or uber ride from downtown. Thanks so much for the great time!!
