Such a wonderful experience in sweet cottage
I so enjoyed the peace and quiet, lovely SC front porch, and location. Plenty of space and very kind owners. Highly recommend. I booked for two months awaiting construction of new home. Such a lucky decision. Couldn’t have been happier and fell in love with Summerville.

Pretty, but needs lots of repairs
In our opinion: The home was missing a minimum of two smoke detectors. The house needs a thorough cleaning before each renting., ie. pots and pans were greasy, window blinds in bedroom had so much cobwebs, it appeared not to have been cleaned in a long time. Cobwebs also in other parts of the home. The guest bathroom looked un pleasant , ie, caulking done around the bathtub needs to be removed and reapplied by a professional. Some baseboards needs replacing, others cleaned, painted and new caulking applied by a professional. The shower curtain had a lot of mold. We washed it two times in 3 weeks but mold did not come out. It needs replacing. My wife would not use the guest bathroom. We sanitized all usable areas of the kitchen.
