This property is exactly how the photos represent it. This was our first trip to Charleston and we were unsure of where to stay based upon all the things we wanted to see on our vacation. We split our time betweeen this home and another on isle of palms...and this was by far the better location, as most of what we visited was on this side of downtown Charleston or in downtown proper...which was a very easy drive from the house. There were plenty of amenities close by and we took advantage of James island park, which was very close and very nice...as well as the antique mall, and of course the easy access to groceries and local cuisine. The owner was attentive and easy to work with, responding to texts within a minute and always helpful. I appreciated that there was an instant pot in the kitchen and the pots and pans were not scratched and gouged, as most rentals are. As others have stated, there is a ton of coffee, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen supplies, and toiletries, which is much appreciated when traveling. There were also disposable to go coffee cups, which we used daily, as we always made coffee and took it with us as we were off and running most days.
One thing to note is that two of the bedrooms, the one with the single bed and a crib, and the queen room are attached via bifold doors that are not sealed well which leaves a large gap that noise and light transfers. This was fine for us as we used this for parents and kids, but for others, just make note of it. It would have been ideal to have a queen bed instead of a twin in the room with the crib, as some may want to use this as a couple with a baby...just an idea. If staying with a larger group...there is not a ton of seating in the living room, but we found that the kiddos hung out in the living room and the adults lingered around the dining table, which worked for our group; but you could not seat 8 in the living room to watch tv or congregate without rearranging furniture.
The few quirks aside, I would not hesitate to stay in this home again, we truly felt at home and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Our time in this home was the highlight of our trip and this is due to the owners thoughtfulness in thinking about his renters. Thank you!
