Amazing communication with host and beautiful house! We were there for concert at the Refinery and it was 11 minutes away. Short drive to the beach as well. 10/10

Todd, we love the photo!! Thank you so much for the kind review! We are glad y'all enjoyed our home :)
Absolutely lovely home in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. Home is well-appointed with bright, cheerful decor. Many places to sit and relax in the open concept Great Room. My son loved reading by the electric "fireplace" media console. Bedrooms and bathrooms have lots of storage to keep your spaces clutter-free (which makes for a more relaxing vacation to me!) Kitchen had everything we needed; new major appliances; countertop appliances including coffee/Keurig with K-cup pods, toaster, blender, and air fryer; tea kettle with asst of tea bags; plenty of hand/dish towels (thank you!); a full set of utensils and complete knife block. Laundry has hampers and hanging rod, which was a plus. We enjoyed the beautiful, serene marsh view in the back. Near coffee shops and restaurants, and easy access to Charleston and airport. Host was very friendly & communicative. Check-out was one of the easiest we've had. We highly recommend staying here!
