Well-priced and comfortable condo
Quiet property in a condo neighborhood in North Charleston. We appreciated that it was affordable for a four-night stay to see things in and around the Charleston area. Grocery store was close by. Other than a too-soft-for-me mattress, we were very pleased. Communication with owner/host was very good.

Quiet and close to the interstate for easy travel around town. The condo is beautifully decorated and relaxing while sitting on the patio listening to the fountain below. Great spot to spend the weekend!

Clean, safe, and in wooded community...very nice. Condo nicely decorated and mattresses are A . The condo is old and shows on the walls which need a good skim coat and most interior doors need to be replaced. Otherwise, very nice. We are picky and would stay here again. The location and comfort for the price is great.

Run down and bug problem
While the property itself was clean it feels very run down once your there. Lots of poor details, holes in walls, bad paint, crumby molding etc. There was a bug issue while I was there. 5 large wasps/hornets found their way into the unit over the few days I was there and freaked me out a bit dealing with them. I also found silverfish in the furniture. There was off site check-in process that was not well communicated and was not in the original VRBO check-in instructions. I didn't get specific details texted until the day of and I was in the air and missed the texts. I originally asked for more details on check-in weeks earlier and was told they would not provide them until later.

Great Labor Day weekend getaway
My husband and I met my son in Charleston for a concert this weekend and Shawn’s condo was the perfect place for us to stay. The condo was very clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. We specially loved the screened in back porch. My son Always wants me to make him clam chowder when I come to visit and the kitchenI had everything that I needed to make it. We unfortunately locked ourselves out and Shawn even came over very quickly to let us back in. We would definitely stay here again thank you Shawn for a great stay.

Quaint Place in North Charleston
After booking and prior to checkin, all communication with Shawn was great! He was very responsive to messages and answered all of my questions. When we arrived in Charleston, Vance was great and explained the checkin process well! The welcome basket was also very sweet. The property was very clean and in a nice little gated area. It was the perfect place for us to retreat to after our long days in Downtown Charleston. It was a very easy 20-30 minute drive to the Harbor/Downtown area. I would definitely recommend this property if you're looking to visit Charleston but don't want to pay crazy prices.

Absolutely Will Visit Again
Making a reservation was a very easy experience. Shawn answered any questions and concerns before my arrival as well as throughout my stay. The welcome package was just what I needed. When I arrived to the condo I was very excited to see that every detail was exactly what the website said it would be. I didnt spend alot of time but every night that I arrived it felt like home. Thank you so much Shawn, I will definitely see you again and I encourage others to visit you as well I guarantee that you will absolutely enjoy your stay.

Great Stay
Host was responsive and very friendly! The condo was spotless and we felt safe being in a gated community within a very short drive to downtown Charleston. Only thing I can say is beds need a mattress pad as they were very firm but everyone is different and that might be great for some. Also, maybe a few extra blankets. Loved the screened in balcony for coffee in the am. Overall this place is a great place to stay!!

We arrived an hour earlier then planned. Shawn directed us to a great little place to have a drink while we waited for him to get off work. He even came to the bar and brought us our check in package. We would definitely stay here again. The condo is located in a great location. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable.

Nicely decorated
Nicely decorated but still a work in progress. Unit clean. Some nice improvements, but still a way to go with attention to some smaller issues. Toilet loose on base, easy to fix. Grab bar in bath tub missing (open hole to space behind tub). Drawer in kitchen difficult to open. Evidence of water damage to ceiling and requires repair and paint. Nothing really major and would not prevent us from staying there again. Great view from the second story lanai overlooking the pond. Our biggest issue would be the host never gave us a phone number and all communication had to be done via email. This may be my problem as I do not text and relay on a laptop. Fortunately we did not have any emergencies.
