Home was clean, plenty of beds as advertised. Kitchen was well stocked. Only about 15-20 minutes from downtown Charleston and a short drive to Folly beach. Awesome location. Would stay again.

Girls weekend

Well needless to say we ended up leaving 3 hours after we got there. I wish I could post pictures. I think only thing that was done after the last stay of people of the 4th of July. They only changed the beds and put out clean towels. When we first got there we went to check the inside out. The place was absolutely disgusting, it had bed bug and roaches. This house should be condemned. Also I would advise when you post picture of the place to post pictures of the surroundings of the property. All the pistures that was posted were fake.

Lived up to description

Location rating is only because of condition of neighborhood, otherwise would be a 5-star House has some minor problems (i.e. upstairs bathroom drain clogged). Communication with owner never happened, no need. Rating requires entry. House has many levels, many of them only 2-3 inches. Proved to be a problem for me due to age (80+) and restricted mobility.

A hodge-podge of tripping hazards and rusted cars.

There was plenty of room for everyone in our party to have space to chill and relax. The property is located on an unpaved dirt road, with abandoned and rusted vehicles, and roosters to serenade you all day. The home is not wheelchair accessible and the first levels (there are many weird steps and stairs on the "ground" floor) have tripping hazards. Pay close attention to the transitions between rooms and the ground floor toilet requires a step up to access. The cleaning could have been better. The beds were rather uncomfortable (maybe I'm just old). Also, keep the gate closed... there's bears out in them thar woods.

Iffy neighborhood and mold like smell

Our stay at this house was fair. There were plenty of rooms and the property manager was easy to get in touch with. However the neighboor hood was iffy. Also we all left with a sneeze and cough along with sinus issues due to the mold like smell.

Good for a big group, with some quirks

Great place for gathering up extended family without breaking the bank. Plenty of bedroom and common area space. But with this location you have to drive to the beach or nearby attractions. But it is an old house with quirks -- steps up and down from one addition to another -- and the upstairs bedrooms get hot in the heat of the day due to insufficient AC airflow. Earlier comments about cleanliness must have been addressed. Place was spotless and linens well prepared for our arrival. Have these in mind when you come here and you will be satisfied with your stay.

Nice house, not nice area

Very comfortable home with plenty of bathrooms and beds. Fully stocked with kitchen appliances and bath towels. The only complaint I have is the pictures do not show a good idea of the neighborhood. It was very very run down and down a dirt road with chickens all around.

Location was good. Showed up and the property was musty and still dirty from the previous stay.

Average, to below average. Sleeping 14 in this house is a stretch to say the least. Also there was legitimately a dead, flattened frog in the down stairs bathroom near the vending machine. (barely under the carpet in front of the shower). Location is great, 10 minute drive down to Folly which was great. Definitely needs a more thorough cleaning before guests arrive, this would make this stay slightly above average. Also, I don't think this place sleeps 14 comfortably, had to buy an air mattress to sleep 14. Backyard: glass all in the grass and the umbrella's were left up and are broken. Overall it was an average stay.

SEWE Weekend

House was very, very clean. Entering the driveway was a little questionable, but once at the house it was very enjoyable. Lovely spacious back yard with a great privacy fence. Enough room for all of us to not be on top of each other. Although is was a short weekend enough memories were made for a lifetime. Wonderful Property Management team as well.

Not What Expected

Review #24818569 “NEW-Charleston Home Close to Beach & Boat Landing!” ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ I hate to write a poor review; however, this home disappointed in many levels. We read the first review and understood that previous guests had some complaints. We also traveled with seniors and young children. Curbside: The home was run down and seemed to be next to a sewer. Inside: The railing was not fixed. The home was not clean; it was questionable if the sheets were washed, there was dirty underwear under a bed, a pill under another. Everything had a fine layer of dust making one of our members have allergy related issues. While looking for a broom we opened up the supply room which was a huge mess. Items were piled from floor to ceiling making it impossible to even get the vacuum cleaner without items falling. An exacto blade was on a window railing that my four-year old niece picked up and accidentally cut herself with. She needed to be taken to get stitches...all the above, made us nervous and always on cautionary mode. The kitchen: greasy countertop, bottom cupboards had pots, pans, and cookware shoved in and unorganized causing confusion and a waste of time when cooking for large groups. Shower (in the back)- not draining, however the CEO/property manager came out and fixed the shower. AC- cold downstairs and hot upstairs. We were not able to reach the property manager that night. The following day the property manager resolved this issue. Washing Machines: Confusing. It looked like it was pay to use, but we concluded the owners must have purchased them at a laundromat. We were able to use the change in the machine after we figured out how to reuse the quarters. The policy stated we needed to wash and dry the towels before we left. We found this inconvenient for us as we still needed to use the towels in the morning but also clean up and leave by a certain time. There was some confusion on leaving time as the email stated one time and a printout at the house stated another. One of the greatest disappointments was the UNCLEAR cancellation policy. We booked the home and after reflection decided it wasn’t a good fit for us. As we booked, there were options for receiving payment back if a cancellation was made at least two weeks before. When I called to cancel with Evolve/VRBO, the property manager informed me that there there is a NO REFUND policy, at all, except in extreme cases. We still request a retribution.
