A hodge-podge of tripping hazards and rusted cars.

There was plenty of room for everyone in our party to have space to chill and relax. The property is located on an unpaved dirt road, with abandoned and rusted vehicles, and roosters to serenade you all day. The home is not wheelchair accessible and the first levels (there are many weird steps and stairs on the "ground" floor) have tripping hazards. Pay close attention to the transitions between rooms and the ground floor toilet requires a step up to access. The cleaning could have been better. The beds were rather uncomfortable (maybe I'm just old). Also, keep the gate closed... there's bears out in them thar woods.

Farewell trip

I booked the home as a farewell trip for my brother he’s in the navy and going over seas. Neighborhood was a lil off but it wasn’t anything we weren’t used to. The house is at the end of the road fenced in and private. Once we parked and got out we went inside and looked around, everything looked nice and clean, found our beds and took our stuff inside. My mom noticed a book sitting on the table and started reading it and was shocked to read that someone was living with us but we never heard anything or saw anyone not once. They may not have been there or were just extra quiet, either way it didn’t stop us from having a good time. Extra beds came in handy for if we didn’t want to sleep in the beds. The only other thing we didn’t like was the floors upstairs they need to be replace asap the room I was in with my kids the floor sinks in some spots and is to high in other. Other than that the house was perfect, definitely would book again if we ever go back to Charleston.

Absolutely amazing stay! 9 of us (two teens, a four year old, and six adults) had tons of room. The house was cozy, clean, and welcome (Halloween decorations was a plus ). It was a little further from downtown, but that’s something you know when you book. Maybe a 20 minute drive. It rained 100% of the weekend we stayed, so we weren’t able to enjoy the outdoor amenities they had, but it looked like it would’ve been fun. They had some games inside which was cool. I also have to say, Lee, the property manager, was absolutely amazing. He was responsive and attentive! I’m the person that will have questions before I book something, so the fact that he was upfront and quick to respond was super appreciated. Long story short, book it. It took me a few days to actually book, but when/if we visit again we’d just rebook here…first try.

Nice space for everyone to spread out. House had room for everyone but a little difficult for my elderly guests to move freely from room to room due to floors having uneven areas that would be a tripping hazard for them.

I have to say pulling down the road looked a little sketchy, but the house is at the end of the road sits by itself and the inside was lovely. The only complaint I have is that the alarm went off every time the maintenance man that lived on the property left the house in the morning early. It was very loud and woke me up every day, but it is close to the beach which was very convenient and it sleeps several people and we had a large crowd so it was perfect. Definitely would stay there again. Yeah, and I was very friendly when one of the children touched the alarm and we got in touch with him to make sure everything was OK

Sketchy Location

The house is located in a very sketchy location and on a dirt road with mud holes...don't take a clean car. We were a little concerned with our safety. The house is full of tripping hazards. The kitchen is not very well equipped and the range had some issues...be careful with that. The toaster did not work.

Girls weekend

Well needless to say we ended up leaving 3 hours after we got there. I wish I could post pictures. I think only thing that was done after the last stay of people of the 4th of July. They only changed the beds and put out clean towels. When we first got there we went to check the inside out. The place was absolutely disgusting, it had bed bug and roaches. This house should be condemned. Also I would advise when you post picture of the place to post pictures of the surroundings of the property. All the pistures that was posted were fake.

Lived up to description

Location rating is only because of condition of neighborhood, otherwise would be a 5-star House has some minor problems (i.e. upstairs bathroom drain clogged). Communication with owner never happened, no need. Rating requires entry. House has many levels, many of them only 2-3 inches. Proved to be a problem for me due to age (80+) and restricted mobility.

Sketchy location and outdated home

We stayed at this house over the 4th of July weekend. When we arrived, the area right outside of the house had tall grass and several pieces of trash outside. Assessing more of the outside, the grill was mostly rusted, some of the outdoor patio furniture was torn and unsteady, and there were areas in the yard with several pieces of animal feces.Upon entry into the house, the first thing we noticed was the storm door handle was broken. To our surprise, the furniture in the sun room mirrored the outdoor furniture with rips and holes rendering them unsafe to sit. Exploring further, the bathrooms were filthy. There were dead bugs in the window seal, a few embedded in the rugs with stains, and tubs and showers were not clean. Unfortunately, we had to clean them ourselves with bleach and other cleaning products to sanitize them. Additionally, the downstairs bathroom leaked water which extended into the hallway outside.Furthermore, we were unable to control the thermostat ourselves. We had to contact the owner and ask him to reduce the temperature from his end. Another concern to address was the occupancy. It was listed that the home accommodated up to 15 people to which we had 12 in our reservation. We did not have enough towels for everyone so the owner suggested that we wash and reuse amongst ourselves. However, the laundry facilities in the home required money to even access. We understood it was an older home, but it was not at all well-kept. This was far from the guest experience we hoped for especially given the rate to reserve.

Did it’s job, but wouldn’t book again.

The house did its job. Our entire family stayed here for a Navy event. We all fit & no one was on top of each other. The yard was nice & allowed the kids a good space to run around and play. The patio tables & outdoor grilling area were great & we took advantage of both since the weather was nice. As far as cleanliness, it’s rough. The house definitely needs more attention paid to it, not to mention we’re pretty sure there’s no way it would pass on electrical code with the cords/wires running everywhere. So all in all, it did it’s job. We were all able to stay under one roof together. But we wouldn’t book again.

Underwhelming

We usually book a stay for less than 10 people but this year we brought along our grandparents and needed more room. From the photos it appeared to be plenty of space. But the photos were slightly misleading and that could be chalked up to my own interpretation of where the rooms and bathrooms were located. When we first approached the address it seemed kind of sketchy, but we pressed on. My first issue with the property was that there isn’t as much space as we thought. At most I would say the home is fit for 12 to 14 people or less. The pull out beds were very dirty and there was no bedding for them. The upstairs pull out left pieces of patent leather bits everywhere and was very dirty (stains possibly from urine and other liquid spills on the slither of foam mattress top) It’s really a small couch with a foam mattress top both upstairs and downstairs in the den. Would not be suitable for anyone over 5’ tall and desperately needs cleaning. Although, there is a $395 cleaning fee included in the price, within 5 minutes the bottoms of all the children’s socks were completely black. The shower in the bathroom with the washer and dryer doesn’t have much water pressure. There was also an odd smell coming from the kitchen sink, I’m assuming the garbage disposal. Most hosts will keep an extra supply of toiletries such as toilet paper, etc, of which there was none and we had to purchase more during our 4 day stay. The beds are covered with sheets and a very very thin blanket, I would suggest packing your own bedding when planning to stay here, the vents are on the ceiling and blow towards the beds but adjusting the temperature would cause the house to be too hot during the day so we closed the vents and froze throughout the night (this is the downstairs bedroom that’s located by the den off of the kitchen) in other rooms it wasn’t as cold. The pots and pans were plenty but not suitable for cooking for a big group of people. We ended up purchasing pots and foil pans to feed the group and then packing them up to bring back home with the rest of our luggage. There were a lot of steps which isn’t a huge problem but can be kind of dangerous for small kids. We actually enjoyed our time together and just overlooked some of the problems we had with the stay but would not book here again. We actually didn’t end up reaching out to the property manager at all but gave 5 stars because their info was posted several places in case it was needed.

Good for a big group, with some quirks

Great place for gathering up extended family without breaking the bank. Plenty of bedroom and common area space. But with this location you have to drive to the beach or nearby attractions. But it is an old house with quirks -- steps up and down from one addition to another -- and the upstairs bedrooms get hot in the heat of the day due to insufficient AC airflow. Earlier comments about cleanliness must have been addressed. Place was spotless and linens well prepared for our arrival. Have these in mind when you come here and you will be satisfied with your stay.
