We had a great several days stay with extended families. Everything was just as described and very clean. David is gracious and helpful. Check out was easy and location was close to the beach and the Charleston. The perfect spot for larger groups with space for group activities as well as alone time!

The property was perfect for our 14 person bachelor party as it provided a place for everyone to crash at the end of each night. It’s right in between Folly Beach and Downtown Charleston so you never have to go far when out exploring. Would definitely rent this place again in the future!

The best set up!
The best set up!
We chose this location for my best friend’s bachelorette trip in Charleston! The location was perfectly located between the beach and downtown. We loved that we were all together but at the end of the night could go our separate ways to sleep. We had plenty of space and privacy!

Unique place that is terrific!
Unique place that is terrific!
We typically rent one large house for our family gatherings but this arrangement with the three separate living spaces worked amazingly well for our family including my very picky mother-in-law. Thanks so much Dave for using your ingenuity on creating such a unique environment. I’m sure we will be back when we come to visit family in Charleston.

We booked for a friends trip to Charleston. Place was great! Really chill outdoor spaces, grilled, watched football on the outdoor TV, had a fire in the fire pit. David was very responsive and a great host. Location was great. 15 min to Charleston or folly breach.
