My son and I had a great trip. The house was the perfect size for us. Cherie and Will were wonderful hosts and my son enjoyed catching a shrimp at low tide. For those traveling with a kiddo, the tv/livingroom area is in an open space with the bed. This made for earlier bed times for me. Overall, we would definitely go there again!

As others have mentioned in reviews that we saw, the pictures don’t do it justice. It has a beautiful view! All kitchen supplies were there to use and the bed was super comfortable! We were here to tour Charleston. It was so nice to come back to a beautiful home after a long day in the city.
