So comfortable and close to EVERYTHING

Beautiful property, very accurate to listing! They even had beach chairs, extra towels, blankets! The outdoor space with the fire place was the perfect way to end the night!! The ice machine produced more than enough ice for the beach each day! Centrally located! 12 minutes to IOP, 20 to Wild Dunes, 18 to Folly, and 8 to downtown Charleston! I will absolutely stay here again if I can!!!

Cockroaches! Look elsewhere for a family getaway!

I stayed at this location because of it’s proximity to my brother’s wedding venue—location is about the only nice thing about this stay! We stayed for a week, but we had some serious issue with the property midway through, which were handled in a disgusting manner by the property manager, Ric. The house has a cockroach problem. We killed multiple LARGE roaches with the roach killer… that we discovered in every bathroom and kitchen cabinet in the house (clearly something management was aware of, if they stocked pesticides so thoroughly). We contacted Ric, and we were appalled at how rude he was. Ric offered to cancel the rest of our stay and refund us, but since it was an event weekend in Charleston and the wedding was occupying all of our time, we were unable to move (very limited VRBO/hotel availability). Ric escalated the situation, threatening all sorts of things and coming up with some really clever insults for our group besides ("Taj-Mahal New Yorkers" sticks in my memory as both a racist and intolerant thing to say). Honestly, we have been so disappointed with VRBO and Ric’s wildly unprofessional response to the situation. I would never recommend this house or its manager.

The pictures are deceiving, the property hasn’t been kept up since taking the pictures. The old hardwoods are very dirty, the home also has a musty smell to it. The location is the best thing about this home.

Very pleasant and comfortable house

The house was exactly as we expected. Clean, well furnished, and in a quiet neighborhood, just a short drive to Sullivan’s Island beach. The beds were particularly comfortable and we loved having multiple hangout places. A bonus was how many great restaurants were within walking distance (less than a mile), as well as two excellent grocery stores. Would definitely stay there again if we wanted to return to Mt Pleasant for a working vacation.

Great location! There was flooding Charleston during our trip but this property was on higher ground and unaffected. Super comfy beds! Perfect amount of space for our family of five - 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Well-stocked kitchen. Check-in was a bit confusing but Ric was super responsive. We would love to stay in the future! Thanks for a great experience.

Great stay, great location

Charleston is very close. Mt Pleasant is truly pleasant. The house was spacious and as pretty as its pictures. Also functional and comfortable. The backyard is ready for a party or just relaxing. The minor items we brought to Ric's attention were immediately handled in a highly satisfactory manner. Next time we're in the area, we will stay here.

Plan to stay here again

We were meeting in Mount Pleasant for a family gathering since our son and family live there; this house was perfect. Our daughter, husband and son flew in from NM and really enjoyed the use of the bicycles. My brother flew in from Missouri and particularly enjoyed the big screen TV for football and baseball games. The kitchen is great and fully stocked with pots, pans and all manner of utensils, as well as a nice assortment of spices. The beds are comfortable, and the ac works well. The manager provided excellent service and responded promptly to our request to extend our departure. This will be the first place we check on future trips to Mount Pleasant.

Complete dissatisfaction, no words to describe

This is without a doubt the worst experience I have had in a rental property, and I have stayed at many. The place was infested with roaches; I informed the owner and he sent out a service to fumigate. I am not talking about a couple of roaches, I mean dozens of live and dead roaches inside the home. It got so bad after fumigation (which is normal) that we had to leave and rent a hotel for a couple of days while the fumigation took effect! I asked for a refund, but was denied based on the contract. so I would advise that you look around before you rent. This place was one of the cheaper for the area, and now I know why.

Great Location and Price

It was wonderful to have a house for extended family (all adults) instead of multiple hotel rooms while we attended a funeral. This house had everything we needed (kitchen, beds, WiFi, gathering space & yard) and was in a great location (convenient to stores & central Mt. Pleasant). As previous people have noted, it is on the older side but the price can't be beat. The manager was quick to respond which was important given the short time frame we had. We'd definitely stay here again for a quick trip.

Hope to stay here again!

This house was perfect for our vacation. It was very clean and well taken care of. There were plenty of towels (bathing and beach)and linens. There were also 4 adult bikes and a youth bike to ride along the shaded streets. The kitchen was very good sized and prefect for cooking family meals. Our visit was in summer, so I was concerned the AC might have issues. BOY WAS I WRONG! It worked like a champ. The whole house is shaded in large trees so it stayed very cool and comfortable. There are also 2 driveways on either side of the house, so if you are traveling by RV you have a place to park with no problems. The house was close to everything so it never took long to go anywhere. I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat!
