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

Great stay in Charleston

This spot suited our itinerary in Charleston very well. It was close enough to the airport to make an early morning flight more bearable but the drive to historic Charleston was easy and short. About 15 min from airport, 15 min from downtown and 15 min from The Magnolia plantation. The small touches in the house made it especially homey and welcoming. We loved our stay!

The Perfect Spot

This was the cutest place so much better than any hotel. It was so close to everything we rented a car so there was a parking spot for it. They have gone to so much work to make it the most enjoyable, relaxing stay. I can’t thank them enough.

Five Stars!

My husband and I stayed here for five nights -- everything about the place was excellent. Great location. Sparkling clean. Plush towels (and lots of them). Wonderful little touches throughout. Good communication with the property manager. Usually I shy away from properties that are professionally managed (I prefer the personal touch of an owner/manager), but this place was perfect. Thanks!
