Our only criticism is that for the first 2 days we were under the possible threat of maybe getting towed as we were given only 1 parking pass yet had 3 vehicles. Jamie said we were ok on Friday but might have to move Saturday morning. There were few people there until Saturday afternoon. We never heard back and one of our party left Sunday morning early so we assumed we were ok. Our host hasn't reached out since we left Monday. Security deposit refund?

6 of us enjoyed this property for a bachelorette weekend, it was a perfect spot! Walking distance from great bars and restaurants, and only a half hour walk from waterfront park and the ocean. The porch was a great place to hang out, and the property was well maintained and easy to access.

We had a great time at this property! It was clean and in a great location. The only issue is that the description said it slept 8 people with 3 beds and a pullout couch. Our first night we went to use the pull out couch and there was a piece of paper stating that it was broken since 06/20/24 and that we would have to use the air mattress in the closet. I did not appreciate this as it felt sneaky, and we were expecting to have the pullout as a sleeping option. I feel we paid too much per night for two of us to have to sleep on an air mattress.

This was one of the best VRBO rentals we have ever stayed in. It was spotless, perfectly furnished and stocked and was within walking distance of shopping, and the historic district. Rental agent was superior!

This was a great property for CofC graduation! The location was ideal as we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony. Onsite parking was a major plus as was the very inviting porch with ample seating for 6. This property had spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, very comfortable living room (especially the couch), and a kitchen that was suitable for meal prep. Would definitely stay here again.
