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!

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!
