Such a wonderful stay on John’s Island for my daughter’s wedding. The pictures did not disappoint, the property is incredible. The views of the low country water and marsh were just like a postcard. The house had a well stocked kitchen, and so much prep space, and the decks are huge. There are so many sleeping areas, and even a crib in the master if needed. This is a great entertaining house, and I would stay over and over again. The host is accommodating and easy to reach, with quick responses. Thanks for such a great week.

First South Carolina Vacay
The property was exceptional!
The sleeping accommodations suited a family of 4 and a family of 6, and everything we needed was provided!
Close to restaurants, beaches, shopping, etc.
The only thing I wish we had been aware of was the boating situation - the family we were with hauled a "freshwater" boat down, and didn't realize the waterway we were on was saltwater. The tide rose and lowered every day to the point that they would not have been able to park a boat at the dock b/c by late morning, the tide was down to the water bottom.
Highly recommend!!

Great Place to Get Away
Lovely home and perfect for our stay. Had plenty of space for our large group and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Great open kitchen, grill on the back patio, and space for laundry too. It was close enough to major attractions in Charleston as well as the beach without the crowds or traffic. Great communication from the host. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Amazing Girls Trip
We had an amazing stay at this house. It was spacious and beautiful. We couldn’t get over the beautiful tile in the bathrooms. It had all the amenities we needed and was a quick drive to the beach and town.
I thought you could swim off the dock, but I was wrong. However you can crab and it’s beautiful to just sit on the dock! Amazing property. 10/10

Spectacular!
What an incredibly special retreat. The property is appointed perfectly - feels warm like home, but also like you're being spoiled at a 5-star resort! It's wonderfully peaceful, yet close to all the activities your heart desires. The owner is kind and thoughtfully responsive. We can't wait to go back!

Great spot for a girls weekend!
Visited Charleston for a Bachelorette Girls weekend & this was the perfect spot! We had a rainier weekend than we hoped for, but time to enjoy relaxing and gabbing on the gorgeous porch was a silver lining.
We loved walking to the end of the dock to enjoy sunset view & a peaceful moment. The outdoor space is truly top notch!
The River Girl is well located for those looking for a little space, while still having easy access for all the area has to offer. Easy drive downtown and to the beach, although we recommend planning ahead for a ride into town for night life, as catching an Uber wasn’t always an option.
The home itself is well stocked, clean and comfortable. Our group of 6 had more than enough room to spread out & have some privacy. The extra full size fridge and wine fridge were an added plus & surprise - always a great thing for a big group.
The hosts are easy to work with, kind and accommodating. Everything from booking to checkout was easy as can be.
We hope to have the chance to stay at the River Girl again.

Relaxing getaway
We had a great stay, close enough to the sites in Charleston but a relaxing world away. The dock was so serene with gorgeous views. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, porch seating galore. We will be back!!
