This was a wonderful property in an awesome location. A hidden gem steps from Shem Creek, with close access to all the restaurants and bars. The host was super nice and even mailed me items that I left behind.

Great house and great location. Only issue is that back yard is a shared space with a separate studio rental. Would have not been an issue with me personally if it were properly outlined and communicated in the listing. This is not outlined in the listing description and was not communicated until we received the keys and check in info just days before the listing. Everything else with the house was great.

Great location, easy check in, and parking right by the front door! Unit is a workin in progress, needs attention in the bathroom such as towel bars and maybe safety grab bar in the shower, shower fixtures need updating with maybe the addition of a hand held shower head.Both bedrooms were great and well supplied with great linens. The kitchen was well appointed, however, could use updated set of complete flatware.Any of the deficiencies are out-weighed by the location!

We came in town for a little league baseball tournament at Shipyard Park. This location was perfect, not too far from the park and many great restaurant choices nearby and in walking distance. The house itself is super cute, not too fancy, but everything you need with a great little backyard. Communication with the owner was perfect and we had no issues at all. I would recommend this rental. We had 2 adults and 2 small dogs.

Great place!

Great place. Exactly as described. Great location too. Many activities were easily walkable and easy quick drive to the beach and downtown. Great communication with host. We would definitely stay here again.One suggestion would be to have beach towels/chairs for guest use. I think this would be a nice perk and added bonus, but would stay here again regardless.

Charleston Area

This was a perfect stay for my husband and me. Is as quaint and lovely as the pictures show. So conveniently located to Shem Creek and lots of fantastic nearby restaurants there in Mount Pleasant. You can easily get to Charleston, although Mount Pleasant was wonderful in itself and this little cottage was even lovelier. Highly recommend!
