This place was a great place to stay! We really appreciated the little touches of extra phone chargers, beach towels and stuff like that. We do wish the water would have been warmer or stayed warmer for longer but other than that we absolutely loved this place and would definitely stay again!

Very nice, clean, cute decor. Keurig coffee maker, microwave, fridge and freezer very convenient. Location was perfect, very private in a nice neighborhood but also very close to a main road with multiple restaurants, stores, gas stations. Downtown Charleston about 5 miles away. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if in Charleston area.

Great place to stay

We had a great time. The accomodations were perfect for a couple. And the snacks and coffe available were really appreciated and a nice touch. Some instructions on how to work the various lighting would have been helpful but we fisured it out. I would stay again..here
