Bayview's Secret

AllanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Rich was great! He made the stay easy and enjoyable. He even provided a couple of bikes to get around with. We could ride around the neighborhood, to Shem Creek, and we even went downtown for a day. Whatever our day included, there was a great place to come back to and relax.

Great house with plenty of space, a screened in porch that we used often. Nice kitchen allowed for meals at home.

I wished I could have stayed longer. I did not want to leave. Beautiful home in a peaceful location. Spent a lot of time upstairs outside on the screened porch enjoying the view of the salt marsh. The home was immaculate, tastefully decorated., and well maintained.

Charleston Waterfront Retreat w/ Deep Water Dock

JudyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Beautiful home and surroundings. 3 couples with personal spaces and large communal spaces to gather. Very comfortable and clean. Recommend Kiss Cafe for breakfast. We also went through Savor Charleston and had Chef Morgan and her assistant prepare and serve a dinner at the house- fabulous food and was relaxing to just enjoy the views and the wonderful home. Highly recommend! It's no wonder their home receives the 5 star reviews!

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.

Renovated luxury home - 10 minutes Folly/downtown

ErinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We traveled to Charleston to commemorate a 70th birthday party. The house was beautiful, clean and well supplied. Location was central to all the places that we wanted to visit. The outdoor patio was fantastic, just be aware that you must be indoor by nine pm, which was a bit of a bummer, as we would have loved to enjoy the space and hot tub at night.

On the Beach-End Unit! Enjoy Dolphins & Sunsets!

CaitlinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Amazing is the best word to describe John’s condo. Check-in was a breeze with clear instructions. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a beach vacation. There were tons of pots and pans in the kitchen and lots of beach supplies on the deck. Th location and access to the beach cannot be beat! Communication with John was excellent. I am already planning a return trip to the condo.

Oceanfront Villa-pool/pier, fishing, stunning view

HannahRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Stayed for a few days with our small family. Grateful for the easy walks to the beach and the pool. There was plenty of play gear available for the beach. The kitchen was well stocked for a good cup of coffee and to accommodate some simple meals for our picky children. Great views in the morning, too!
