Charleston Weekend

Property was clean and decent location. Pictures make it look much larger and seem as if you have full house. Be clear that "Bedroom 4" is not a bedroom with king bed. Bedroom 4 is a queen pull out couch off the kitchen. Overall it worked out but don't plan for more than 6-7 adults to stay here.

Conveniently located condo with pool—perfect for families!

The property had everything we needed,and the pool was a great bonus! The first night there, we had multiple helicopters flying so low that we thought they were on the roof. We braced for that to be repeated, but it never happened again. The only other negative was that Wi-Fi was very poor! The place seemed convenient to every local destination—8-9 minutes to anywhere. The pool was perfect for family to cool down in the afternoons. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
