The living area features plush seating for the whole family, a flat-screen TV, and a dedicated workspace for the occasional business traveler. Throughout this level, warm Heart Pine wood floors add a touch of timeless elegance.

Family Vacation

This was the first time we have taken a family vacation in quite some time. Unfortunately, it was not an enjoyable stay and became more work than a vacation. The location was nice. The house was not very clean and we had a lot of bug problems. When we alerted the management company, we were informed that they were aware of a bug problem that had been treated a few days prior to our arrival. The bugs were all over the house (termites, spiders, carpenter ants). We were concerned for the wellbeing and safety of our children with the amount of bugs. The management company, after seeing the property, recommended that we relocate somewhere else given the amount of bugs in the home. We had to be separated from our family for one night and then had to take the next day to go through the hassle of moving everything, losing an entire day of vacation. Although we appreciated their willingness to find us a new place, we ended up having issues at the following house as well. The beach access was gone because of beach maintenance, we had to walk a great deal with littles ones and could not even enjoy the pool or outside of the new house because mosquitos were so bad. We were really disappointed with our lack of a vacation with everything that had transpired. Originally the property management company had offered to help us move our stuff to the new location but when asked, they asked what we actually needed help with. It seemed that it was just a polite offer made versus an actual offer.

We enjoyed our stay at Northstar. Property is well managed and check/checkout was seemless. The first floor room was less desirable and appeared to count for 4 of the stated sleeping count. Some of the fixtures were worn and could stand to be updated, but overall - no problems or complaints. Property was a quick walk to the beach and a preserve hiking area. It was a drive into town and the cost of parking varied 10-30 per day depending on expected traffic.

A great place to stay.

The downstairs unit is totally separate, which may suit some larger families well. It is below ground, and less airy, but the separate nature was more of a plus than a minus. Two kitchens.

Great spot near the bird sancturary

We were 4 friends of a certain age and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Northstar. Our goal was to be as close as possible to the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve which NS was perfect for. Our only complaint was the lack of shade on the deck until late afternoon. We brought our own unbrellas, but they didn't hold up very well in the wind. Would definately rent again.

The pictures do not give this place justice. Nice to be away from the busy beach area. Great stay and when we had a small accident st the house, the owners answered right away to fix the problem. The downstairs is total separation from the main house. Loved staying in there. Bathroom was amazingly huge. Kitchen has everything. They have already welcomed us back, which might happen in the future. Would enjoy this house any time of year with any group of people.

Charleston Girls trip

This was a perfect property for our group of 10. There was plenty of space to hang out in the kitchen/sitting area as well as the porch. The beach was a short.walk and having the beach chairs delivered was perfect. The home was clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The only negative which was not anything to do with the host is that it can be a challenge to get uber/lyft reliably out there. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Cool Cab on Folly Beach for a family owned business to transport to and from downtown Charleston and/or airport.
