Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a great stay. The house itself was very comfortable, with large bedrooms and a spacious great room that provided plenty of seating for our entire family. The location was perfect, and the beautiful Lowcountry landscaping added to the charm and relaxing atmosphere of the property.A few drawbacks were the bugs, which were quite prevalent and made it difficult to fully enjoy the pool and outdoor seating areas. We ended up purchasing outdoor bug spray and citronella candles, which helped somewhat. I would recommend having the property professionally treated to improve the outdoor experience. The pool also appears to be in need of some repairs and maintenance. Additionally, the king beds were much firmer than we prefer, and we found it necessary to purchase a mattress topper to make them more comfortable. The air conditioning went out for a few hours one day but the property manager fixed it immediately. Despite these issues, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the home's spacious layout, beautiful setting, and convenient location. We would definitely rent again.

wonderful house

We spent two weeks at # Cartage in early April. House was in great neighbourhood, easy to walk to beach and bike rentals. Beachside getaway was prompt to respond to concerns and were very accommodating. We will definitely be back!!!

Amazing House

This was an amazing house for our large family spring break! It was really big and spacious, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the location was amazing! It was a 12 minute walk to the beach. We also really liked the palmetto dunes resort. It felt secluded and safe. I highly recommend renting bikes! My only complaint is that the pool wasn't heated. It was pretty chilly for our 3 kids, and didn't get used hardly at all. But that's no fault of the management company as they were transparent that it wasn't heated. The management company was really great at communicating with us throughout the trip and gave great suggestions. We would definitely go back...maybe just at a later time in the year when the pool water was warmer!
