5 Stars – Great Location and a Comfortable Stay! We had a great time during our visit and really enjoyed our stay at this property! The space was clean, cozy, and nicely put together—perfect for a relaxing trip. The location couldn’t have been better: we loved being able to walk around historic Summerville, and Charleston was just a short drive away, which made day trips for sightseeing and dining super convenient. The kitchenette was a nice bonus for light meals, with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. One small thing to note: there wasn’t a dining table or tray, so food ended up being enjoyed on the couch. Also, a luggage rack or small bench would’ve been helpful, as we found ourselves lifting bags on and off the bed when we needed something. Even with those small quirks, the overall experience was very positive, and we’d absolutely recommend this place to others. A charming spot in a perfect location!
