The house was a beautiful decorated but there were a couple of concerns. There are no spots to hang towels in the bathrooms, which wasn’t a huge deal but noting that. Outdoor patio furniture needs to be cleaned & outdoor table unusable because it’s warped. The stamped concrete down to the dock is very nice, but it did rain a few days and essentially turns into an ice-skating rink. The landscaping was overgrown and covering the entire walkway down to the dock (about a 10-12 inch section for you to squeeze by to walk on the decking). Trex decking is spaced incorrectly (22”-24”), and one of our guests foot went through the decking. This was addressed and fixed, but was a few days after we let them know.

Great vacation. Actually able to relax. The kids loved swimming off of the dock.

The home is beautiful and in a great location. It has a quiet cove which allowed for full days of floating and canoeing. The outdoor space is awesome as is the game room for kids. The only negatives were: 1. The listing states there is a queen bedroom with 2 twin bunk beds. This isnt really a bedroom, its a loft area right above the kitchen and living room, so without a door, the noise really carried. 2. The kitchen was well stocked except for large pans. 3. The middle floor bathroom has a huge window without a cover or blinds offering no privacy. We wound up having to share 3 showers amongst 13 people. Outside of those few things, we would definitely rent the home again and had a wonderful stay.

This home is beautiful & comfortable. We had 12 from 16 months to 71 years old. The host was very responsive & the home is clean and well maintained on the inside. The kitchen & great room layout perfect for large groups. Nice decking, fire-pit, walkways to dock except lower steps a challenge. Outdoor space tired, needs landscaping trimmed, new cushions, & dock cleaned. We lived on SML for 28 years & hosted hundreds of guests. We loved this house! Things I wish I had known: *there are no towel bars (they no longer provide beach towels) in any bathroom which precipitates towels hanging over banisters and chairs following showers; *two kitchen towels, a small sponge, 4 dishwasher pods & a small bottle of dish soap is provided for the kitchen; with 12 people eating three meals a day we had to purchase all of the above to get through the week. *plenty of pots and pans but no large skillet, instant pot, crock pot or large toaster. *Sleeps 10 adults and 8 kids (all bunks are child-sized). *Too many accessories for children (we had to move a few with a 16 month old) *Need a second refrigerator for 18 (we had 12) people; we kept food in coolers for a few days. There’s ice across the road; great for coolers & drinks. *Plenty of plates, flatware & glasses/coffee cups *Plenty of trays & large bowls. *No food storage containers. *No extension cord for drink cooler at the dock (we did not contact the host to help resolve this situation so that’s on us).

We loved the house with its delightful coastal decor, creative tile bathrooms, comfortable furniture, deck with stunning lake view and long dining table that could fit all 12 of us. Some enjoyed kayaking in the lake. We had some concerns and suggestions: 1) First and most serious, there is a sharp cement drop-off on one of the driveways that actually damaged the under-carriage of one of our cars. 2) Second and most annoying (set an unfortunate tone as soon as we arrived), the beds were not made when we arrived. 3) The house needs luggage racks for suitcases, hooks for hanging towels, dishwashing and laundry pods, large and small garbage bags (we had to buy both pods and bags), 6-10 tea towels for drying dishes. Both kitchen and laundry, however, were very well appointed. 4) Considering the high rental, cleaning and "service" fees, I thought the final cleaning responsibilities were excessive (cleaning inside of fridge, carrying laundry and even rugs down two flights to laundry machines, lugging garbage uphill to bins when bags were not supplied. We would expect this at a campsite cabin but not a luxury rental. Overall we enjoyed our time at Southern Charm and felt the hosts were gracious and helpful.

Overall good location on the water in a quiet cove. Missed on several un-communicated expectations. Outdoor furniture needs updating- metal chairs are rusted and couches are moldy. We had rust on clothes from the chairs. All of the beds in the house were not made on arrival. There are 8 “twin” beds in the house however all are very uncomfortable and not made for anyone over 5’ tall. Super short. It was actually more comfortable to sleep on the floor. We did not have propane gas in the house for the last two days of the trip which meant we were unable to use the cooktop, outdoor fireplace, and gas grill. Host said we could leave early but not possible to find another place at the last minute. We weren’t even offered a credit for the inconvenience. Very frustrating. Overall more effort should have been made to provide more comfortable accommodations without expecting us to make beds, sleep on uncomfortable and undersized beds, and be without gas for two days.

The property is beautiful and accommodated our large group very well. We enjoyed having a bunk room for our kids! Meredith was kind to let us check in 2 hours early. The hot tub was cold and the chemicals had not dissolved for two days but her husband kept in communication and came to refill and clean it. Meredith offered some refund since we couldn’t use the hot tub for two days, which was nice. The only eating and drinking in designated areas rule was in the listing but seemed a little excessive especially if you rent to kids and the stools provided are rather uncomfortable. I also did not love that we had to make our own beds upon arrival. We loved hanging out by the long fire pit overlooking the water and our kids loved all The grassy areas to throw the football. Overall it was a good stay, thank you Meredith.

Was wonderful for a large group. Plenty of space for 16 adults. The location could not be beat for us as it was close to stores and the marina.
