We had such a lovely weekend in Mt. Pleasant. We walked to restaurants and Shem Creek Park from the house. We walked to the pick-up point for the sunset cruise we planned. Easy drive to downtown Charleston as well. The house was great, it was just as described. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy and convenient!
This property is a gem. Just blocks from Shem Creek, you can easily walk to a slew of awesome restaurants. In terms of driving, so easy to get to both Charleston and the beaches in no time and there's plenty of parking at the house. The home itself was comfortable, well-appointed, clean, and as described. We'll certainly be back-- maybe in cooler months so we can take advantage of the awesome fire-pit area in the backyard.

Little things
Lacks a welcoming feel. The owner wants guest to strip bed and start a load of towels. That should be a no no. Besides the towels are so stained they should be thrown away.That alone is a turn off. No napkins, no tissues all says no welcome. Little things matter. The front porch furniture is falling apart should be replaced

Beautiful, clean, conveniently located house!
Everything was easy from start to finish. We loved our stay in this pet-friendly home, which was exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located to local restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay here again. There is also a cute outdoor area. The location felt safe and the doors, windows, and locks were all secure. Easy, prompt communication with the owner. We had no issues at all -- we just communicated to extend our stay.
