SamanthaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The townhome was exactly what we needed for our weeklong trip! Getting inside was easy with the keypad. It’s a cute place and had the right amount of space for our family of 5 to live like at home. All bedrooms are upstairs with comfortable, firm mattresses. The 3 bathrooms, and kitchen were clean. Great bonus—we enjoyed the full size washer/dryer being upstairs. We used the tv downstairs, and it was easy to add our streaming account (harder to remove if you’ve never done it) I was worried, but we never heard any neighbors. We had them at least 2 nights we were there. When the cloud cover was just right, it could be noisy with the flight path to the airport nearby. We enjoyed watching the planes, and the sound didn’t bother us at night at all. There’s a lot to do in 5-20 minutes in any direction. If you have children, the Park Circle playground and Danny Jones sports complex are wonderful. We went to the Coliseum for an event—it was the perfect location!

3 BR Non-Smoker House w/Marsh & Sunset views

WhitneyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Beautiful location. Close to Folly beach and charleston but so quiet and serene. We used this as our home base for a 40th birthday trip and had a lovely time. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms spacious and luxurious, outside spaces beautiful. Google maps didn’t have good directions to the house but the host sent them to us ahead of time. It’s next to two houses but it’s still quiet with a great view of the marsh. It was the perfect retreat for the area.

A spacious living area features a television mounted on the wall, complemented by a comfortable brown couch and decorative shelving. A cowhide rug is laid on polished wooden floors, while soft lighting is provided by a ceiling fan and a nearby pendant lamp.

Dolphins, Wildlife amazing location to see it all!

RachelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Catrina's townhouse was perfect for our family of 6 adults, one toddler and a baby. We especially liked the location as you could walk to the beach and restaurants and yet get to Charleston fairly quickly for sightseeing and doing things in the city. Catrina supplied beach toys/chairs/towels and a wagon for loading up to take to the beach which we really appreciated. There were also bikes we could use and two kayaks(although we didn't use the kayaks). She instructed us what to expect upon arrival and what supplies were provided before we arrived so we could pack or pick them up before arriving which was nice as it seemed a little different than some things on the west coast. We had a great time and would highly recommend this for a family get away!

Beautiful peaceful place in nature. The house and bedroom had huge windows looking onto the marsh with so many bird singing. Kayaking was great, exploring the marsh. Some sand gnats when there wasn’t a breeze so we had to wear bug spray at times. My husband, dogs and I loved it.
