Great Stay!

The house was very clean and accurately described. Its location was great, in a great neighborhood, and close to many attractions. The only thing I wish it had was portable outdoor furniture so we could move it around to different locations of the yard. We purchased some cheap bag chairs and left them in the garage for future guest use. The owner was very kind and answered all the questions we had very promptly. We would definitely stay again

Great location - perfect vacation rental

We have not been on a family vacation in several years, so we were super excited for this trip. Joe's Mt. Pleasant home did not disappoint, and ended up being the perfect relaxation spot for my family. My dad and fiance love to fish and absolutely loved being right on the water! We were lucky enough to spend NYE here and had an incredible view of multiple different locations setting off fireworks. The property was exactly as described and Joe was super available and had great communication. We would highly recommend this property, close to downtown Charleston, Sullivan's beach, and many fun shops and restaurants in Mt. Pleasant. Highly impressed, we had a great stay!

Wedding week

The property was perfect for us. Our daughter got married at Creek Club at ION. 10-15 minutes away depending on traffic. The open floor design allowed for plenty room for bride & bridesmaids to prep for the wedding. The photographer used the dock as back drop for pre ceremony pictures. We could not found a better place & Joe, the owner was very responsive to few questions we had. Highly recommend this property!!

Great stay

The house was clean and well maintained. It was super comfortable for five adults. We spent every morning on the dock: drinking coffee and watching the wildlife. I actually don’t have anything negative to say about our stay.

Fabulous!

Our family stayed in this home. We picked this location because it was close to Charleston and to the beach. It was fantastic. Such a relaxing and beautiful place to be on the waterway. The outside enclosed deck, the grilling area, the fishing dock…all lovely. It is spacious, clean and very well appointed.

Wonderful property

We stayed here for 5 days while our son played at the Shipyard. We were very impressed with the responsiveness and kindness of the owner. The property was exactly as advertised and very clean. Not only was the property well maintained, but it was nicely updated. The neighborhood was very cute and all neighbors were very welcoming. The dock and back yard were a very nice plus as our kids had so much fun fishing and playing. I highly recommend this property and will gladly stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Great location, beautiful home

Loved this home and Shem Creek. The house was roomy and open, great for entertaining. We appreciate the low fees on this property but also felt like it was not super well maintained as a rental. There were several things that needed small repairs or extra attention (shower door wouldn’t slide, not enough toilet paper, outlet coming out of bedroom wall, broken outdoor table etc) that needed attention of a local owner or management co. It was a pain to have to wash towels the night before leaving, at least give a later than 10am check out with that expectation. We brought kayaks and fishing stuff to take full advantage of the dock, doing this allowed us to fully make use of and enjoy the property. We would consider staying again for sure.

Perfect house for a family getaway

Spacious bedrooms. Able to fit multiple bags of luggage. Also have a 1-year-old whose pack-n-play fit well. Open concept in common area allowed us to feel together whether we were in the kitchen, dining area, living room, or rec room. The men made great use out of the pool table each night. Enjoyed the peaceful mornings out on the dock. Perfect location; easy drive to beach and downtown.

Family Vacation

The property was great. Stocked with everything we needed. All necessary information was communicated well. We came down for a wedding and are so glad we chose to stay a little longer and get this house. Location was convenient. House had room for some of our group to work during the day. Dock was a beautiful peaceful spot to hang out and game room was great for the evenings.

GREAT LOCATION ON SHEM CREEK

The house is located in a nice neighborhood on Shem Creek close to shopping, restaurants, and the bridge to Charleston. The cleaning of the property could be better. The cleaning of towels before you check out at 10 am is a bit much. If you are charging a cleaning fee, why am I cleaning your house? The communication with the owner was always delayed. I asked to check in earlier, if possible, as we were travelling down from Pawleys Island. I requested it on VRBO, by text, and by voicemail. I was never answered. Check-in time of 5 PM is also odd.

Needs Some TLC

Unfortunately my initial impression of the house was not great. I had to clean both bathrooms before I could even use them. Overall I felt that the house was in need of some serious deep cleaning. I could see the house being rough after a busy summer season, but that’s not the case; it’s spring. The walls are marked up. Most of the closet doors are broken. The walls could use some fresh paint. Cupboards have old food and coffee left over from previous visitors (some being expired by over a year!). All the windows were dirty, to the point that it distracted from the view outside. The guest bathroom has black all around the grout. Mold was growing in between the fridge doors (I also cleaned the fridge) The back screen door is in terrible shape. The screened in porch wasn’t even attempted to be cleaned, had a good covering of dirt and pollen. The neighbors were all pleasant. The dock was enjoyable. It’s a good location.

Great location and nice home! Perfect for us.

We meet up with my kids who both live in SC, one was on break and this house was perfect for us. Close to everything (dining, grocery stores, etc..) in MP and an easy ride into Charleston or IOP. Pretty much everything you need for either going out or for staying in and cooking. Smooth and easy check-in and great communication with the owner. We are in the Charleston area 4+ times per year and this place is a great mix of convenience, value and simplicity.
