Fabulous hosts and property!

We spent two nights in the area, beaches, sight seeing and seafood. This beautiful property is close to everything, yet tucked away from the traffic and crowds. It is breathtaking and peaceful, beautiful and comfortable at a price point that’s affordable!

Awesome location

The owner was very accommodating and helpful and the place was beautiful. The main floor had a kitchen and sliders to a deck overlooking the water with an amazing dock where we sat and socialized. The second floor had the living room bedroom and bathroom also with a deck. The pool was awesome. Everything we needed was available. Awesome trip.

So relaxing!

The scenery was much better than we expected! Excellent bird watching and got to see a gentleman put out his crab pots one morning. The pool was lovely on a warm afternoon. Location was close enough to Charleston to be convenient, but far enough to still allow for peace and quiet. The hosts had prepared the extra bed for our son, which was so thoughtful of them. On the whole a delightful visit!

Absolutely amazing. Pictures online don't do justice. Very quiet and peaceful being off of a tidal river. My family and I will definitely come back in the near future.

The picture of the house is lovely but misleading since the actual Vrbo is in a side building. There wasn’t a lockbox as mentioned in the description,the door was unlocked and the key inside on table,We had no idea where we were supposed to enter.The kitchen is on main level but living room,bedroom,and bathroom were all upstairs and steps were quite steep.Again,this wasn’t explained in description-we both are older and have knee problems so wouldn’t have rented because of steps if we had been aware.Having said all that,the host responded promptly to our questions and concerns.There is a lovely dock leading out onto the water with a great seating area. Nice balcony and porch with nice view.Quiet and relaxing area
