Our family had a great time at this home! The home has everything you need. The beds, bedding, and pillows were the best I've ever slept on at a VRBO. The house is also steps away from the rookery and we were able to hear the birds and walk to see them every morning and evening. We also really appreciated the state park pass and were able to go to Hunting Island and Hilton Head. Our family will definitely be looking to rent this home again for future trips!

Everything!! Location was perfect, a short 10 minute drive to Parris Island and walking distance to local restaurants and shops! Being from Louisiana where alligators are common to us, we enjoyed watching others, watch the alligators behind the property! Could not have found any other location to accommodate us any better. Highly recommended for those attending ceremonies at US. Marine Corps Parris Island SC

Amazing communication from our host and a great location for our visit to watch our son graduate boot camp. Only 5 minutes away from the checkpoint on Parris Island and had everything that would could possibly need already stocked! Beautiful, cozy home in a nice neighborhood with trails and a very nice park within walking distance for the kids to get the zoomies out! Overall great experience. If you’re looking to find a place close to the Marine Corps Depot, or just visiting the area, highly recommended!
