Convenient to everything

We enjoyed our stay. Room was perfect size for us. It was a little dated but that’s ok too. Older places always bring back the nostalgia of beach trips of the past. Kathy with the rental company was always responsive and helped us with any questions we had.

Quick golf trip

Decided last minute to take a golf trip. Room was booked quickly and property manager was quick to respond. Space was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. It is small but very quaint and perfect for our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

The property manager was very good at her responses to us, especially on the day of arrival when the major sink was cloaked. I do believe more transparency is order for the following reasons:1. Our ocean view was blocked by over sized palm trees.2. To use pools: 59; to go to restaurants 59;3 Service fee another 59. 4. The room advertisement says 4 can stay; but really not more than 2 as the space is very small.I don’t believe we will return. Ty.

Edisto Weekend Stay

The description was inaccurate, led me to believe it was a 1 bedroom but it was literally 1 room with pull down Murphy bed. Left batteries in bowl on counter leaking acid, NO cleaning & paper supplies, not many towels. Agent I called to ask for more tp was extremely rude.

Unsatisfactory

We were unable to stay at this property due to the poor conditions that we found when we arrived. There was an unpleasant odor, there were strange packets stuffed along the mattress of the bunk bed (which in my research I have learned that they could be used to deter bed bugs), we found a cockroach and another bug in the bathroom. We are very grateful that we did not bring any of our bags up to the room before inspecting. I immediately contacted the host through messaging on the VRBO account and included photos. She did not respond. I then called and left a message. She did not respond until the next morning. We had to scramble to find a hotel for the night, as we had a 13 hour drive to Fripp Island. In our communication she said that the packets along the mattress were not placed by her. She told me to cancel the reservation on VRBO and then she would push through a refund. At this point all communication from her has stopped, I have not received any updates and no refund has been issued. VRBO customer service has reached out to her several times and to this point they are reporting that she is not responding. I am very disappointed and will not be doing business with Kathy Folds or this property management company again. I will continue to work with VRBO to resolve this matter.

Relaxing

We had a relaxing stay great location once we found it. Gate guard needs to explain location instead of just handing out a map GPS was no help either finally found it after returning to the gate for clarification. The location and accommodations were great for a short getaway.

Exceeded our expectations

This place was perfect for us and our two little ones. Great price and a lot of amenities! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others! Great location for the beach, restaurants, & activities! Many things in walking distance from this lovely condo complex, yet it still feels quiet and cozy. Our condo was decorated beautifully and was clean from top to bottom at check in. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

Wonderful weekend getaway

I have visited the island multiple times and stayed in a couple different places. The sunsuites are a great option. This particular one is on the ocean side, just steps to the beach and pool. Great location, super clean, and had everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was wonderful and very responsive. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed our Tripp to Tripp

The place was a bit tight for four people, but overall we had a comfortable stay. The bathroom sink does have a slow drain issue. Other than that place was clean and enjoyable. It was centrally located in the island which made it easy access to all areas of the island. Parking is difficult, limited, and very tight. Had to park a distance from the room which at times was inconvenient for loading and unloading. Overall a great expirecne!

Great location! Perfect size for us!

Overall the stay was good! My only concern was the top bunk didn't have a rail so I was waking up to every sound making sure my son wasn't about to fall off the bed lol. Would consider staying again if I could find a solution to this.
