Pillows
Only issue we had was w/lack of pillow choice, the fill in the pillows moves during sleep causing really bad sleep for me whileci was there. Option of firm foam for side sleepers would put it over the top otherwise a experience

Great Spot
Great location. Check in was very easy. Loved the bungalow and the spring house. Only downside was that I could not get access to the spring house facility the morning of the last day but that was a Sunday. All in all I would definitely stay again.

30th anniversary trip
This is a hidden gem of a community. I enjoyed the views as well as walking the neighborhood admiring all the beautiful properties. This is the perfect place for a couple. It’s small in size but the openness makes it feel larger. I hope to make this annual anniversary trip.

25th anniversary trip
Beautiful property! Didn’t want to leave. We flew into Charleston from Seattle. This was our first stop then on to Savannah, StAugustean and finally Miami. First time in the southeast. This was the best stop out of all. Next time the whole vacation will be here at John’s Island South Carolina.
