Best Beach Getaway

This was one of the best beach houses we have stayed in. The house had everything we needed and more. It was so clean and very comfortable. Even the front porch furniture was clean and relaxing. The walk to the beach was very easy and the location was close to everything. We would definitely stay here again.

Beach House

I was extremely pleased with this property. It was clean and roomy and had all the amenities needed for our stay. We liked the close proximity to the beach and the public beach access was a short walk. Would stay in the beach house again if we are in the Charleston area.

Nice getaway

We loved our stay at the property! The house is just as pictured. The backyard needs some work due to storm issues, but still has a table for dining on the patio. We liked th short walk to the beach and the house having the beach necessities was great! We would stay here again!

Cute, Cozy & Clean

this cottage was very well stocked with all the your kitchen needs. The bathrooms were also well stocked with plenty of nice towels and toilet paper. The beds and linens were all comfortable and clean. We were all very happy and comfortable in this clean and bright cottage. It was an easy walk to the beach and there were beach chairs, towels and even a wagon for the beach. They have thought of everything and we are looking forward to visiting again.

Perfect fit for us

3 female senior citizen cousins stayed 4 nights here. Totally fit our requirements as we each had our own room and bathroom, a wonderful space to cook/eat/hangout and a great enclosed porch to sit on and watch people go by. Only four easy blocks to the beach which is HUGE! We loved the peace and quiet of our house. Super close to grocery store and places to eat. I have stayed at numerous VRBO’s and this owner was the fastest to respond to any questions we had…we’re talking a minute or two. Julie truly wants to make your stay perfect in every way. Don’t hesitate to book this property!
