Very nice owner, super responsive and helpful. The yard was perfect for our 2 dogs and we even sat outside in the rain under a patio cover. Flowers, decorations, books, movies, games, kitchen supplies. It really was like being at home. This isn't very close to the beach. But we had a very nice weekend here.

The Charleston rental was located in a less than favorable neighborhood. However it was within 15 - 20 minutes of events, shopping and restaurants. The host, Jim, was super nice, helpful and very hospitable. We did see quite a few roaches in the house and our dog had an allergic reaction to a flea infestation in the yard, which ended up costing us over $300. We had to take her to the emergency vet clinic. I would not stay in this rental again b/c of the team to our fur baby. The host was the bestest.

First of all, we arrived at 330pm. I told our host, Jim, that we may not arrive until after 5 because we were driving over 600 miles and traffic is unpredictable. The listing said check in is after 3pm. Jim said he would send me the check in info when the cleaning service finished. I told him we arrived and he asked if there were any cars there. There weren't so he said I could use the same code to open the door as the previous renter. Once in, we noticed a distinct musty smell. There was a space on the top and bottom of the front Storm door. The furniture and carpet were noticably stained. The popcorn ceiling was pealing and dropped to the floor in the hallway. The master bedroom smelled like urine so we figured there were 2 others so we didn't use it. I think the bedspread was the smell origin but didn't appear to be soiled. The kitchen stove was dirty and rusty on the side and roaches were seen scurrying from underneath. The ice trays and ice bin in the refrigerator smelled strongly like old stagnant water. I washed them with soap but it didn't help So we bought our own ice. The kitchen chairs were stained and the table was dirty and sticky. Jim put out an array of complimentary snacks on the table for us. There were also complimentary bottles of wine. During the 2nd night there, we noticed a roach in our bed. We switched to the 3rd bedroom which only has a single bed so my wife slept on the couch after she covered it with clean sheets and towels. No more space to write

Cute and cozy!!! Loved the back yard set up and how relaxing everything was. Thank you again!

Could not have been better-kind and super-thoughtful host, comfortable home, lovely neighborhood. Totally peaceful except when planes fly overhead, but even that seemed like no big deal in the relaxing atmosphere of the back garden. Exactly the break from stress we needed! Highly recommended!

Place was very clean & nice. Jim responded quickly & was very helpful. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. I know some have been concerned about the area. We did not have any issues & felt safe. Was easy to get to places we wanted to go.

A friend and I came into town for a graduation and stayed at this property and it was absolutely delightful. The host was communicative and prompt, the property was clean and well stocked. I particularly enjoyed the back yard, which had a lovely covered sitting area. The property is also close to everything. It is extremely easy access to I-26 and only 10 minutes into the heart of Charleston. There is also a great brewery just around the corner and many wonderful restaurants only a few minutes away.

Great 👍

Spring is here and its time to do clean up yard work

Home was decorated for the holidays, very clean. Host goes above and beyond to provide supplies guests might need. Was a bit rowdy outside for New Year’s Eve. We enjoyed our stay!

This was a cozy house about 15 minutes away (by car) from the tourist areas. It may seem small from the outside, but it has three bedrooms and comfortably fit our family of two adults and two teen boys. Great amenities, and Jim is a wonderful host! I wish we had been able to enjoy the garden, but maybe we'll come back in the summer for that.

Conveniently located to downtown and all attractions. Well equipped cottage.

The house was very clean and the property manager was very helpful and responded quickly! We need to be close to our wedding venue and this was perfect!

The property owner's communication was unbelivable.

In the hood, but only were there at night so it was fine

This cute house is less than ten minutes from the airport. It has all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay. The owner answered my questions quickly and thoroughly. We read that the neighborhood might be sketchy. We did not find that to be so. The houses are smaller and close together, but everyone we met was super friendly. I’d definitely stay here again!

We were going for vacation. Nice little cottage! Property owner was really great to work with. He keeps a binder with all kinds of information on the area and ideas of places to go. He thought of everything as far as little things to make things easier. We didn't use the backyard but it was set up to accommodate grilling or just enjoying the outside. The community it is in is pretty well quiet. Overall, we would stay again.

This property was just as promised. The house was just right for the four of us. The house is well maintained and provided plenty of space. Renting and check in was super easy and our VRBO host was most gracious. The only concern we had was the neighborhood when we first drove up. There are several run down properties near the house, but this was not a problem. The neighbors were all very nice and we had no incidents while visiting. The location to a main interstate took us into and out of Charleston quickly. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Jim went out of his way to make us comfortable with great accommodations and some extra treats. The cleaniness was exceptional for a vacation home! Had we been able to stay longer it would have been nice to enjoy the lovely yard which needed some over-due tlc. Thanks again, Jim for a memorable week-end.

Jim thought of everything!

This little house has a great location and has a more homey, non-tourist feel. The house manual has great recommendations on where to eat as well as things to do. This was our dog's first vacation and he loved the backyard and neighborhood. The house itself was clean and cozy. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. Easy to get to downtown Charleston and Folly Beach.

The house was in a convenient location for all the places we wanted to visit. Jim was a super host. He communicated with us all along the way.

Most important: Would I stay here again? Absolutely! Since it was just me and my dog, I closed off two of the bedrooms and still had plenty of space. The fenced in yard was perfect and safe for the dog, plus an inviting area to simply hang out. Everything needed was present, including a thoughtful assortment of snacks. Also, the location was good for visiting plantations, Battery/waterfront area and taking the water taxi, and Charles Towne Landing. No where I went, including Costco, was more than a 20 minute drive. This is a residential area and with it came occasional daytime noise…children arriving home from school or other dogs barking, but never was there a problem with noise at night and I’m a light sleeper. I would definitely stay here again if a vacation brings me back to Charleston.

We had a wonderful experience at Jim's property. The house was very clean, cute, well-stocked, and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Our kids loved playing in the back yard, and there were beautiful flowering shrubs in the front yard. We also loved the various board games and books in the living room--those provided hours of entertainment for our screens-free kids. We really appreciated being able to stay in a home with 3 distinct bedrooms. We kept our budget small by cooking most of our meals at the house and then eating out sparingly, and the full kitchen, cooking supplies, and utensils all helped with that goal (the only thing we didn't think to bring was a coffee grinder: we'll pack one of those next time. There is a coffee maker). One of the neighbors was a bit loud late at night (it may actually have been someone visiting the person next door rather than the next-door inhabitant), but our sound machines enabled our kids to keep sleeping throughout. Overall, we had an excellent experience and we'd jump at the chance to stay at Jim's house again!

Nice

It was like staying in a cozy cottage.The yard is amazing. I would love to see it in the summer.

Comfortable accommodations, great living space, well equipped and very clean. From the beginning, all of my interactions with the host were very prompt, gracious and informative. The house is cozy and very well-stocked. The neighborhood surrounding was pretty quiet and has excellent access to the interstate. The location is a super simple trip to downtown Charleston. Jim offered plenty of suggestions for things to do in and around town, which I greatly appreciated. We had a most enjoyable weekend here!

This property is small but was perfect for our short stay. It was clean and a great place for us to spend the night, as we were really busy and didn’t spend a lot of time in. Jim is an amazing host who left plenty of ideas of how to enjoy the beautiful city of Charleston as well as snacks and wine for us if we wanted to indulge. His thoughtfulness and communication were really above and beyond and we truly appreciated him sharing his home with us! The back yard is an oasis perfect for relaxing! We will definitely stay here again if we need a place to stay while in the area!

This house was perfect for our stay. We came in to see our youngest son and celebrate his birthday, this house was just a short 15 min drive from his place. Great location convenient to everything we could need. The host was amazing to work with, very clear details and great communication. Will keep this in mind for future visits.

SO There is no detail that is missed here! Upon first glance when arriving we were a bit concerned about the neighborhood, until we read the blurb Jim had so thoughtfully written out in the manual. The house was immaculate, from the linens to the very cute toilet paper flower. Jim keeps a lovely assortment of kitchen items, and snacks which were greatly appreciated. The Vino he left for us was super!

Host was very friendly and communicated well. House is well stocked, so if you forget something I’m sure they have it there. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you
