What a beautiful place to stay! Our entire family stayed for a week! We had an amazing stay with all the comforts of home!! The home was very clean and clearly well taken care of! The backyard was also very nice and fenced in! Though we didn't bring our dog, we easily could have and I would've felt comfortable with her in the backyard while we ran about town!

Excellent place!

I stayed for a business trip in Charleston, but I brought my dog so didn't want to be in downtown. This is a great location in James Island and not far from Folly beach. The place was very pet friendly with a great fenced in yard! The house had everything I needed and the master bathroom shower was pretty deluxe. Also nice sized kitchen if you did want to cook. Neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, felt like I had privacy. Definitely would book again!

Bach Trip Getaway

Overall our stay was good! The location was nice, home was clean, and host was responsive. Our only complaints were that they was not enough towels provided (9 girls with only enough towel sets for 6 of us), we ran out of paper towels/dishrags/no cleaning supplies (no biggie, we ran to the store), and sleeping arrangements were tough (two girls had to sleep on the sectional, when we were expecting a double pull-out bed).
