"The Rhett house takes you to great southern hospitality at its best. The Inn sits on a corner of downtown that is walkable to many restaurants and steps away from the bay. The checkin was easy and offerings of cheese tray followed by deserts was a great bonus to the spacious cottage room we had. The next morning we sat on the veranda for a delightful breakfast. The Rhett House Inn is a must for hospitality and location."

"The condo was in a nice and quiet location with great proximity to the beach. The view was nice from the condo too. The accommodations provided with the condo were also great (kitchen, pool, etc.). The beach was nicer at the State Park beach access right up the street so it was nice that the pass was provided. The primary bed was smaller and a bit too firm. Flooring needs some improvement in some areas as well that were covered with rugs. "
