The location was excellent with many services available nearby and close to events and visitor attractions downtown.

Over-all was good trip. I would not suggest sleeping 9 people there. It is nice but to small for 9 with 1 bathroom. Could use a little updating.

Nice little place

Me and my 4 other friends stayed here and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is a perfectly fine little house that was so conveniently close to food, grocery stores, and the beach. And as a group of just girls, feeling safe in a vacation home is definitely a major factor!
Everything was clean and had plenty of room for a decent sized group of people!
Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

We left one night early as this place was very disappointing. The property is located on a very busy road. The house is not in good condition. The side door has a 1/4-1/2” gap which allows bugs and is definitely large enough for rodents. Our dog was obsessed with trying to lick in the gap of the kitchen floor and cabinets. When my wife shined her light, she said it was caked with food. The dishes and silverware from the cabinets and drawer were dirty. The beds were noisy and uncomfortable. The primary bedroom has a cheap blind allowing car lights to shine directly into the room. The rugs were grimy and the floors and shower were very soft leading us to believe there is a lot of rot under the floors. We would have left immediately, but we didn’t have choices to change to. I would not recommend.

This is a barebones home as the listing says but it had what we needed to be comfortable. The home was close to the beach and close to historic district. Grocery store and restaurants within walking distance.
4.6
This was the perfect house if you are looking to be close to the beach and downtown Charleston. It was about 15 minutes from each. The house was clean and great for a quick weekend away with girlfriends. This is a basic house but had everything we needed. The only thing I would note is it is right on a main road so there is some road noise. There was a grocery store and food options right across the road as well.
4.6
Had a great stay, the house was everything we needed.

Disappointed that the usual amenities, such as coffee, were not available. I have been spoiled by VRBO hosts in the past, both domestic and international. There were always bottles of water, coffee, etc. available upon checkin.
4.6
Overall I think it was a great deal for the money. IA few things we want to
Point out…Concerned about lighting outside (none), gap under front door that allows bugs in (flies etc). The bed was comfy and we had no trouble sleeping. AC was great. Bathroom- no toiletries , sink is loose and socket doesn’t have a circuit breaker
In bedroom behind kitchen the outlet by bed has no cover. Over head light in kitchen didn’t work -there were no ice cube trays.

The place was very clean. It is in a great spot. We were very close to Folly Beach. We were surprised to find that there were no dressers in any of the bedrooms and 2 of them had a place to hang up your items. If we were just there for a weekend that would be fine but we had to live out of our suitcases for 11 days. That was not fun. Ellen was very nice when I asked her any questions. We had to buy all of our supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags etc. which is fine had we known ahead of time. We could deal with that. We are sorry but we probably will not stay there again. Again I want to point out that Ellen was great to deal with!

This was a very comfortable house. Unsure why it has anything less than 5 star reviews. It was convenient to everything. In fact, I wish we could have stayed longer. If there was a larger group there, there may be an issue because there is only one bathroom, but for the price, you cannot beat this. Its basically across the street from food and grocery stores. Convenient to Charleston, Folly Beach, and anything you need. It is a duplex. Just be aware because people get confused for some reason. Its clean and cute! I'd stay here again if I am in the area. The host was accommodating and wonderful! She was quick to respond as well. We enjoyed this convenient and comfy stay!

We found the home in clean condition and with comfortable furniture and beds. As mentioned in other reviews it sits on a busy highway and 2 of the bedrooms have street lights that shine in a bit. Location is convenient and overall it was a nice affordable stay
4.6
The property was located perfectly for a wedding we were attending in the area. Not super fancy but well worth the price and not a bad drive to Folly Beach.
4.6
We enjoyed our stay! Awesome location.
4.6
Convenient to the beach, stores, and restaurants. The house is located on the street and is a bit noisy, so if you are a light sleeper this place may not work for you. It was clean and the kitchen had the essentials for cooking.
4.6
Property had everything we needed, was exactly as described, easy check in, and stay had no issues.
4.6
The location was good because it was close to the beach but it is on a busy road so it is noisy when trying to sleep.
The listing says it sleeps up to 8 but with one bathroom I would only have 6 max.
Several things need to be improved upon. As an earlier review mentioned the blinds need repaired. Several are broken and light shines in from traffic on road making it difficult to sleep.
The door has a huge gap which needs addressed by replacing the door or adding weather stripping. It was very humid even with the air on because of the gap and it was cold a couple mornings when the temp dropped outside.
The air vents were rusty and either dirty or had mold on them. Those need to be replaced and vents checked for mold. My kids woke up stuffy every day.
It was pretty clean when we got there but the sheet on the pull out was dirty and the replacement sheet we found had a hole in it. Not a huge deal but the dirty sheet made us wonder if the other sheets had been changed.
Again, as others mentioned in previous reviews… several light bulbs were burnt out and needed changed. The porch light was useless and could cause injury if someone tripped in the dark. Also, there was watery soap in the bathroom. Someone added water to stretch it and I’m wondering if that was past renters. There were partially used items in cabinets that I would dispose of if it was my property.
My final thought is to put some info in the home giving out the wifi password etc….

My mother and I stayed here for a week so we could visit my daughter who is in grad school at Musc. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The location was convenient with the proximity to both Charleston and folly beach, but it does face the busy Folly Road and the street noise is loud if you are sitting in the cute little outdoor area. The kitchen had all the basic necessities for simple cooking. I would have liked to have an information binder with the WiFi code and tv instructions, but did get a quick response when I texted for the wifi code. We would definitely stay again.
4.6
Big space for our family, easy check in/out. Location was perfect for between the beach and the city. Busy road, so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
4.6
The WIFI did not work half of the time, other than that it's like advetised.
4.6
Decent,clean place close to the beach
4.6
I would definitely stay here again with a small group (only one bathroom). While it was advertised as 'no frills' a few minor adjustments could make the stay much better!
- add a small coffee pot versus the Keurig as sometimes folks like to make a pot of coffee
- advertise there is no water or ice at all in fridge so they may want to bring their own water (a few cheap ice trays could simply be provided in freezer too)
-the blinds in room near carport could be enhanced/fixed so less light comes through
-should be advertised as duplex with clear instructions over which side is theirs (A or B)
4.6
Great place to stay if you are interested in visiting Charleston

The house was great for what it is. It’s a clean 3 bedroom house. It slept 6 people easily. For my family the location was great.
4.6
It was very clean and cozy! We had a wonderful stay!
4.6
Nice property.
4.6
The location is ideal if you want to spend time in downtown as well as at Folly Beach. It was about 12 minutes to either. The house is comfortable and clean but not fancy. The listing needs to be updated a bit—there is NO hot tub. There IS a full size fridge and oven/stove. The beds were not the most comfortable (and one squeaked pretty bad) but were sufficient for a few nights. We had to buy our own hand soap for the bathroom, and there were no oven mitts. The coffee maker was a Keurig but there were no pods provided so we had to buy a reusable one in order to use the coffee we brought. Small gap under the door which felt somewhat insecure. Overall a good place to stay; proximity to everything was just what we needed.
4.6
A great place to stay. Owner, is exceptional about quick response. Clean older home. For price you cant beat it. Location was perfect. Minutes from beach and our cruise port. Beds are nice. I would definitely recommend. Check in and out is a breeze. 3 bedrooms, dining/boardgame room, spacious open kitchen living room. Would definitely stay again and longer next time.
4.6
We love staying here!!! Always pleasant!!!
4.6
Property was clean and spacious enough for about three people. It is a work in progress, but decent for the price. Very close to the beach and downtown Charleston.
4.6
Had a handful of girls from a church group stay here for a Charleston weekend. Easy access to Folley Beach and Downtown. My only feedback is that if you can host up to 9 people, you may want to provide additional trash bags. There were also no instructions on check out for trash and dirty towels. But overall decent "crash pad".
4.6
This was a convenient crash pad for us to use between exploring the beach and downtown Charleston.
4.6
good for an affordable stay if you’re on a budget!
4.6
We had a great stay. The home is decorated nicely. No dishwasher or laundry room. Beds are comfy! The home is close to tons of grocery stores, food and more. About a 10min drive to folly beach and super close to James Island County Park. Our little family enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to get back to Folly!
4.6
What is the holidays and a grocery store. That’s exactly what we needed.
4.6
The location was central to Folly beach and Charleston allowing for many activity options. The unit was clean, organized, and comfortable. It is close to a busy road, but the traffic did not cause any noise disturbances.
4.6
This was accurately listed and close to everything.. Walmart literally 30 seconds away. Being only 2 miles from the beach was convenient. My family and I felt at home.. highly recommend.
4.6
I (M23) and my fiancé (F24) stayed here for four nights and we loved it. It’s not the the most fabulous resort you’ll ever stay in, but it’s perfect for the price point. If you’re the type of person that heads out to the beach early and doesn’t come back until dark, look no further. Since you don’t have to worry about parking on Folly Island, you can make a quick 20 minute trip over even when bridge traffic is at its worst, enjoy the whole day at Folly and then come back to crash. Barebones crash pad honestly undersells this place. A full family who intends to stay in the house a lot might find it wanting, but if you just need a place to sleep while you spend most of your time on Folly, this is the spot for you.
4.6
Me and my gf come down about twice a year and love James island and folly beach . The location was perfect . Very close to everything . The property was better than advertised . The shop next door was no bother but there is a tenant that lives next door I wasn’t aware of. There were also no issues with that just thought I’d mention it. All in all this place was exactly what I was looking for and i will be visiting again
