Much needed retreat weekend.

Could not have asked for a better weekend, weathered worked out perfect and 2 blocks from anything we needed. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Calming decor and cleanliness of the place was icing on the cake!!!

Terrible

The place smelled of rotten fish. Refrigerator was unusable due to the odor. I scrubbed and used air fresheners and purchased baking soda, but nothing helped. My son would not stay and my husband left after two days. The bathroom rugs were filthy- if using white and pink as colors the rungs need to be cleaned after each rental. I washed the rung. The walls are super thin. Screaming babies next door and partying over our head until 2 am. Not the birthday vacation I was hoping for. Very disappointed.

NEED MORE WARNING ABOUT LACK OF ELEVATORS

My wife and I are both over 80 years old with health issues. lack of an elevator is a MAJOR issue for us. We needed help to get our bags up to our room. If this was pointed out in the information on the unit we certainly did see it. Poor sound insulation between us the floor above. Seems the folks above us were getting their steps in for the day.

Great Stay on the Beach

We had a great weekend staying at this property. It’s close enough to walk to all of the restaurants and loved that it’s right next to the pier.

Fall break

We had a great time! The room was great! The only problem is the bed in the master bedroom. It’s broken and could not sleep on it.

Great location and property

We had a great time while staying at this property. The kitchen has everything you could need, the house is very clean, and the view of the ocean is amazing right outside your back door. Any questions were immediately addressed and the property is in a great location. You can walk to local restaurants or drive into downtown Charleston which isn’t to far. We would stay here again.

This condo was beautifully decorated and perfectly located. Some minor inconveniences as you'd expect with a brand new property, but nothing that detracted from our stay. Love love love it -- can't wait to go back.

Wonderful view

This property has an amazing view off the large balcony! The unit is well furnished and very clean. Kitchen is nicely stocked with cooking utensils. My husband and I stayed and it was a nice beach getaway. I was disappointed with how much you could hear the neighbors from inside this unit. They were not being loud but I could hear them having a normal level conversation. I can’t imagine if it was a younger crowd how that would have been disturbing to our peaceful trip. The bed is not very comfortable or supportive. It needs a box spring. There was a misunderstanding as we stayed for 4 days and thought we got the beach chair rental included but I called and they said we didn’t qualify. Looking at the listing on my mobile device it cuts off the length requirement for this amenity on the webpage but can be seen on a computer. There is a nice company you can rent chairs and umbrella right outside the door! Overall, it was a nice place but I wouldn’t see myself coming back.
