Lovely, very well appointed home. It was well stocked with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The feel was that of a luxury, historic home. Beautifully decorated, luxury accessories, towels, soaps, shampoo, etc. The cooking pans were so nice that I ordered a set while I was there. Everything was wonderful. The host communicated perfectly, and even helped us find an item that my daughter had left behind. Probably the best VRBO I have stayed at. And I've stayed at many. Would gleefully stay again!

Charming historic home in a lovely quiet neighborhood. Our kids loved playing games on the porch, walking to the park and eating at the nearby restaurants. We were in town to visit family and this was the perfect relaxing setting for us to connect. We were comfortable and had plenty of space.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

My husband and I used to walk by this area downtown Summerville and both agreed it was our favorite street. One day we saw a for sale sign and the rest is history. We still love this street and neighbors and we think you will too.

What makes this property unique

We moved this over110 year old home from down the street, put it on our lot and remodeled it. It has imperfections but loads of charm.
