Beach House

I was extremely pleased with this property. It was clean and roomy and had all the amenities needed for our stay. We liked the close proximity to the beach and the public beach access was a short walk. Would stay in the beach house again if we are in the Charleston area.

Nice getaway

We loved our stay at the property! The house is just as pictured. The backyard needs some work due to storm issues, but still has a table for dining on the patio. We liked th short walk to the beach and the house having the beach necessities was great! We would stay here again!

Perfect fit for us

3 female senior citizen cousins stayed 4 nights here. Totally fit our requirements as we each had our own room and bathroom, a wonderful space to cook/eat/hangout and a great enclosed porch to sit on and watch people go by. Only four easy blocks to the beach which is HUGE! We loved the peace and quiet of our house. Super close to grocery store and places to eat. I have stayed at numerous VRBO’s and this owner was the fastest to respond to any questions we had…we’re talking a minute or two. Julie truly wants to make your stay perfect in every way. Don’t hesitate to book this property!
