Great cottage experience

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property! The home beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in and check-out a breeze. We especially appreciated the little touches like the welcome banana bread, welcome basket, water in the refrigerator, k-cups, sugar and creamer and local recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect for a long weekend!

The space was very clean and very quiet! It was perfect for our short trip, and it was great to be able to walk to downtown Summerville. We did spend most of our days in downtown Charleston and the surrounding beaches, and the drive from Summerville wasn't bad at all. Easy check-in and out, and Jo and Rich were so kind!

A Little Gem

Loved everything about it from the convenient location to the tissues with lotion and nice toilet paper ( I am picky and appreciate those touches). It had everything we needed and more! To top it off the host was awesome and very helpful. This was our first rental other then hotels and it exceeded all my expectations.

Jo was a perfect hostess. Anything we needed she responded immediately. The accommodations were exceptional! Needed nothing and some didn’t expect! Snacks, water, banana bread, and I could go on.

Would give 10 stars if I could

Just moved to the area from out of state. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and so respectful. There was a cute little porch for me to sit and enjoy my tea. The area is so close to everything you could want. The house was so clean and smelled so good and welcoming. It honestly was the best vrbo I have ever stayed in. What you would think of a nice southern home and hospitality is. Its right here. thank you so much for making such a pleasant stay!

Southern Hospitality

We have family in the area and having a nice, quiet place to retreat to in the evenings was exactly what we needed. Our hosts made our stay so welcoming. Lovely flowers, banana bread, coffee, breakfast cereal were there in the room for our enjoyment. Our room included a small well stocked kitchenette, comfortable bed, nice sized bathroom. Also great outdoor seating. This rental is in an quiet neighborhood close to the historic downtown. We were very pleased and highly recommend.
