As others have mentioned in reviews that we saw, the pictures don’t do it justice. It has a beautiful view! All kitchen supplies were there to use and the bed was super comfortable! We were here to tour Charleston. It was so nice to come back to a beautiful home after a long day in the city.

Beautiful River view! We enjoyed hanging on the dock and soaking up the views. There are many good restaurants to choose from in the area. The Angel Oak Tree is spectacular! Spent a day at Folly Beach and visited the Charleston tea farm, which is very interesting.

Beautiful property with outdoor spaceson 2 levels overlooking the river. Lots of shorebirds on the water and the flowers are around the yard added extra majesty. Kitchenhas Kurig and sufficient pans and utensils. There is no toaster or regular coffee maker which should not be an issue for most short term rentals. The salt water pool wasalso beautiful and the crown of the property. Host lives adjacent and was extremely helpful and friendly.

Awesome location

The owner was very accommodating and helpful and the place was beautiful. The main floor had a kitchen and sliders to a deck overlooking the water with an amazing dock where we sat and socialized. The second floor had the living room bedroom and bathroom also with a deck. The pool was awesome. Everything we needed was available. Awesome trip.

So relaxing!

The scenery was much better than we expected! Excellent bird watching and got to see a gentleman put out his crab pots one morning. The pool was lovely on a warm afternoon. Location was close enough to Charleston to be convenient, but far enough to still allow for peace and quiet. The hosts had prepared the extra bed for our son, which was so thoughtful of them. On the whole a delightful visit!

Weekend trip

Everything was very smooth and easy once we arrived. The guest house is a perfect size for a couples getaway. The dock is perfect and kayaking early in the morning was spectacular. It was raining a lot so we didn’t get to use the pool, but it was very clean and nice. The pictures don’t do this property justice. It was very quiet and secluded and beautiful. I highly recommend it.
