Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. I had a run-in with a pit bull across the street, one house up, while on a walk, but the neighbor quickly took care of the situation before the dog reached me in the road. That problem is out of the homeowner's control. Just might want to be mindful of an aggressive dog in the area when staying here. Its a clean, well kept home in a very convenient location. I would stay here again.

We had a wonderful week in Charleston! The Billfish Bungalow was perfect for our family, including our fur baby. The rooms were very clean, beds were very comfy and each had a fan, which was nice. The living space was the perfect size, and backyard was super cute and nicely fenced in. The kitchen is still missing a teapot ;) but everything else one needed to cook meals was there! Would definitely stay again!
