So clean so comfortable. The rooftop is an epic place to soak in the hot tub. Everyone had their own space and the kitchen chill zone was a perfect place to gather and hang. I’m going to build these bunk beds on my house now. ##### Alex B.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy B. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### The Soiree Property is beautiful and in a great location. Charleston Vacays were very responsive to our questions and very helpful. Parking is a problem- the lot is quite a hike and street parking is iffy. The description should emphasize that there are 61 steps to the third floor where the kitchen and living room is located. There is no elevator!!! The roof top is cool and we enjoyed the fireworks on the 4th from there. ##### Sandy B.
