I wouldn't be sharing a family secret in saying my wife and I have reached an age where the elevator to get our bags to the bedroom level is what kept this gathering of the Clan the celebration of a wedding as it was intended...

Connie and John thought of everything! This condo was beautiful, clean, well stocked , and close to everything we needed and wanted to do. The wine and chocolates were a nice touch! The views are amazing. We will be back!

We were fortunate to spend 2 wonderful weeks in Paradise! The location was perfect, it was close to the beach and restaurants but out of the traffic! It was definitely perfect for our Easter holiday. So much space!! Loved sitting out on the deck in the morning. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need!! This was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. The garage was awesome. One day it rained so we played soccer with our grandson in the garage! The master bedroom was so comfortable. The beach chairs came in handy and the county pass was so convenient!! Everything was so well thought out, including the box of chocolates they left for us. The cutest was the black make up towels!!! What wonderful southern hospitality!! We would love to come back again!!! Thank you for 2 great weeks!!!

Beautiful home. My family had a wonderful time. Quiet neighborhood and everything you could need in the house. The pool was fantastic, close to beach and Charleston. The Godiva chocolates and the wine trade was an added bonus.

We really appreciate John and Connie opening their home to our family. The home was fantastic. We really appreciated the cleanliness and all the amenities, including the welcome chocolates :-). This year was a bit tough for us, so the opportunity to just rest, relax and enjoy the lowcountry was a welcome retreat for all of us. The home is wonderful and the attention to detail is evident. We hope to return next year :-)

The home was wonderful!! The kitchen had absolutely everything needed to prepare meals. It was clean, location was great, furniture was comfortable. The owner was quick to respond when there was an issue with the garage door. The elevator was an added bonus. Highly recommended!!

Owners welcoming and attentive without being at all intrusive. Some family visited briefly during our stay. It was so much fun to share with them this magnificent property and the Folly Beach/Charleston Low Country area we’re so fond of. I’m on oxygen when moving around, making the elevator a real plus. Highly recommend this property.

We absolutely LOVE Palmetto Paradise! It's location is ideal, as you are close to the beach and downtown Charleston as well.
You couldn't ask for a better spot when it comes to hopping around Charleston's neighborhoods.
In addition, Connie and John are wonderful hosts who have thought of absolutely everything to make sure you want for nothing during your stay. The condo is beautifully decorated and is always sparkling clean. The furniture is SO comfortable. There's nothing worse than a vacation home with uncomfortable beds or living room furniture that makes it impossible to relax. This condo really feels like home! We've stayed in so many different vacation homes, and this is the only one we keep returning to because it really is just fantastic. Thank you, Connie and John, for sharing your beautiful home with us yet again. We can't wait to visit again soon!

Best pre-checkin email ever received, I travel often, own E. Thompson Roofing Company. Connie and John actually care that you are satisfied, views yes amazing but more amazing too me was how home was furnished and decorated, like they live in full time!! Beautiful and CLEAN
5.0
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Connie and John's place this past week. Everything about it was fantastic!
The unit was exactly as described, very clean, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with any kitchen utensils you would need. The supplied linens, beach towels and beach accessories, and all of the necessities were very nice and clean.
When you stay here, you are only 5 minutes away from Folly Beach, and 20 minutes from downtown Charleston. It is located in an area that is very quiet and peaceful for your time at the unit. An added and unexpected benefit was of the hosts supplying an access pass to Folly Beach - this includes free parking at the beach and access to restrooms and changing rooms.
Both John and Connie were easy to communicate with, and always quickly replied to any questions or concerns we had.
We highly recommend this unit.

This townhome is beautiful. The location is great, 15 minutes to downtown Charleston. All the amenities were so appreciated. The pool is very nice. Most of the time we had it to ourselves.
The owner contacted us the second night and sent us a list of suggested places in Charleston since it was our first time there. We had a great time.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Palmetto Paradise! The location was perfectly situated between Folly Beach and downtown Charleston. We were near lots of wonderful restaurants and blocks away from the grocery store. The property owners were so very kind, and the property was exceptional!

Beautiful property, great property managers.
The property was gorgeous and in a great location. It is just about a mile from Folly Beach and about 15 minutes to downtown Charleston. Connie and John are amazing property managers. They are so helpful and willing to share information about Charleston and the beach areas.
The townhouse was so beautiful and beautifully decorated. It was very neat and clean. The kitchen was spacious and beautiful with great views of Carolina marsh lands. The deck was roomy with nice furniture for lounging and also had a nice grill. We were pleasantly surprised the townhouse seems roomier in person than it does in pictures. The pool was very nice and had an adjacent outside sitting area with picnic tables and restrooms. There is also a nice garage to park up to two cars in. The master bedroom and bathroom are very roomy and spacious. The elevator came in handy for loading and unloading luggage.
It was are first time to the Charleston area and we absolutely adored the city. We found so many things to do and really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back snd we would love to stay at this location again.

This property was exactly as advertised. Beautiful, well-appointed and centrally located. The beach was 5 minutes away, downtown Charleston was 15 minutes away, grocery store was around the corner.

Condo was very clean and well stocked. Location is a short ride to the beach. Our grandchildren (9 and 5) loved the bunk bed room (their own little oasis). Drive into Charleston was quick. Owners were very responsive to our questions. Lovely place to stay.

This reminded me of staying at Seabrook, WA - except the weather at the beach (a very short drive away) was sunny & warm vs. the usual Pacific NW rainy and cold!!! The home has a lovely view of the marsh, comfortable furnishings, and absolutely lovely decorations. We were treated as welcomed guests, which was a wonderful feeling to have over the holidays. Thank you!

A Thanksgiving holiday was made extra memorable with this stay! Such a beautiful space to spread out in with such a convenient location. Kitchen was a joy to prep, gather and roll out a great meal from! Open concept kept us all connected. The additional benefits include towels and toiletries that made me feel like I was on a week long spa appt! Connie and John touched base and offered any assistance necessary but because of such good instructions and forethought did not need to reach out to them. By far the best VRBO I’ve stayed at!

Gorgeous Views and Everything You Could Ask for in a Vacation Home
This was our third trip to Palmetto Paradise in the past 12 months. We just can't stay away! John and Connie have worked so hard to make everything perfect so that you never find yourself saying, "If only we had . . . " Everything you could possibly want or need while staying in their gorgeous condo has been thought of and provided. What an absolute gift it is to just be able to go on vacation and relax! We have stayed in vacation rental properties across the states and around the world, and this one is our favorite by far

Great location with a nice view. Our family enjoyed the accommodations and attention to detail. The owners even called to make sure we were all settled in and to ask if we had any questions. The elevator made loading and unloading the luggage much easier!

Great view like in the photos, elevator is convenient for hauling luggage to the upper bedrooms. It's nice to have a garage door opener that lets you park in a private garage. Minutes from Folly beach. Perhaps the best decorated property we've stayed at!
