Will’s Review
It is a Beautiful little duplex house. With 3 bedrooms and Everything you need! It has its own Kitchen and Living room, even a little Dining room. Great Location right near the beach. It is right on Folly Road so there’s a lot of traffic going by. And then it looks like it was recently painted maybe a little too thick so some of the bedroom doors are hard to close and open, but these were minor things. For the most part, we had a great stay. I would recommend it and consider staying there again on my next visit to Charleston!

Great house for the value!
Our family came to Charleston for a wedding. There were six of us and a hotel was just too expensive and not an option. We found this cute little three bedroom house. The price was right and we really enjoyed staying there. It’s on a busy street which concerned us, but we never heard any of the noise, even at night while sleeping. Ellen was a great host and even let us check in a little early due to trying to get to the rehearsal dinner in time. I love how accommodating she was and kind.

Great (close to)beach stay!
Me and my 4 other friends stayed here and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is a perfectly fine little house that was so conveniently close to food, grocery stores, and the beach. And as a group of just girls, feeling safe in a vacation home is definitely a major factor!
Everything was clean and had plenty of room for a decent sized group of people!
Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

Left Early
We left one night early as this place was very disappointing. The property is located on a very busy road. The house is not in good condition. The side door has a 1/4-1/2” gap which allows bugs and is definitely large enough for rodents. Our dog was obsessed with trying to lick in the gap of the kitchen floor and cabinets. When my wife shined her light, she said it was caked with food. The dishes and silverware from the cabinets and drawer were dirty. The beds were noisy and uncomfortable. The primary bedroom has a cheap blind allowing car lights to shine directly into the room. The rugs were grimy and the floors and shower were very soft leading us to believe there is a lot of rot under the floors. We would have left immediately, but we didn’t have choices to change to. I would not recommend.

This is a barebones home as the listing says but it had what we needed to be comfortable. The home was close to the beach and close to historic district. Grocery store and restaurants within walking distance.

Perfect Girls Weekend!
This was the perfect house if you are looking to be close to the beach and downtown Charleston. It was about 15 minutes from each. The house was clean and great for a quick weekend away with girlfriends. This is a basic house but had everything we needed. The only thing I would note is it is right on a main road so there is some road noise. There was a grocery store and food options right across the road as well.

Nice but…
Overall I think it was a great deal for the money. IA few things we want to
Point out…Concerned about lighting outside (none), gap under front door that allows bugs in (flies etc). The bed was comfy and we had no trouble sleeping. AC was great. Bathroom- no toiletries , sink is loose and socket doesn’t have a circuit breaker
In bedroom behind kitchen the outlet by bed has no cover. Over head light in kitchen didn’t work -there were no ice cube trays.

Barebones
The place was very clean. It is in a great spot. We were very close to Folly Beach. We were surprised to find that there were no dressers in any of the bedrooms and 2 of them had a place to hang up your items. If we were just there for a weekend that would be fine but we had to live out of our suitcases for 11 days. That was not fun. Ellen was very nice when I asked her any questions. We had to buy all of our supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags etc. which is fine had we known ahead of time. We could deal with that. We are sorry but we probably will not stay there again. Again I want to point out that Ellen was great to deal with!

Great Stay in a Convenient Location
This was a very comfortable house. Unsure why it has anything less than 5 star reviews. It was convenient to everything. In fact, I wish we could have stayed longer. If there was a larger group there, there may be an issue because there is only one bathroom, but for the price, you cannot beat this. Its basically across the street from food and grocery stores. Convenient to Charleston, Folly Beach, and anything you need. It is a duplex. Just be aware because people get confused for some reason. Its clean and cute! I'd stay here again if I am in the area. The host was accommodating and wonderful! She was quick to respond as well. We enjoyed this convenient and comfy stay!

Convenient to the beach, stores, and restaurants. The house is located on the street and is a bit noisy, so if you are a light sleeper this place may not work for you. It was clean and the kitchen had the essentials for cooking.

Good college spring break place
The location was good because it was close to the beach but it is on a busy road so it is noisy when trying to sleep.
The listing says it sleeps up to 8 but with one bathroom I would only have 6 max.
Several things need to be improved upon. As an earlier review mentioned the blinds need repaired. Several are broken and light shines in from traffic on road making it difficult to sleep.
The door has a huge gap which needs addressed by replacing the door or adding weather stripping. It was very humid even with the air on because of the gap and it was cold a couple mornings when the temp dropped outside.
The air vents were rusty and either dirty or had mold on them. Those need to be replaced and vents checked for mold. My kids woke up stuffy every day.
It was pretty clean when we got there but the sheet on the pull out was dirty and the replacement sheet we found had a hole in it. Not a huge deal but the dirty sheet made us wonder if the other sheets had been changed.
Again, as others mentioned in previous reviews… several light bulbs were burnt out and needed changed. The porch light was useless and could cause injury if someone tripped in the dark. Also, there was watery soap in the bathroom. Someone added water to stretch it and I’m wondering if that was past renters. There were partially used items in cabinets that I would dispose of if it was my property.
My final thought is to put some info in the home giving out the wifi password etc….

Family visit
My mother and I stayed here for a week so we could visit my daughter who is in grad school at Musc. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The location was convenient with the proximity to both Charleston and folly beach, but it does face the busy Folly Road and the street noise is loud if you are sitting in the cute little outdoor area. The kitchen had all the basic necessities for simple cooking. I would have liked to have an information binder with the WiFi code and tv instructions, but did get a quick response when I texted for the wifi code. We would definitely stay again.
