It was spacious and beautiful. We couldn’t get over the beautiful tile in the bathrooms. It had all the amenities we needed and was a quick drive to the beach and town. I thought you could swim off the dock, but I was wrong. However you can crab and it’s beautiful to just sit on the dock! Amazing property. 10/10 ##### Samantha G.

The sleeping accommodations suited a family of 4 and a family of 6, and everything we needed was provided! Close to restaurants, beaches, shopping, etc. The only thing I wish we had been aware of was the boating situation - the family we were with hauled a "freshwater" boat down, and didn't realize the waterway we were on was saltwater. The tide rose and lowered every day to the point that they would not have been able to park a boat at the dock b/c by late morning, the tide was down to the water bottom. Highly recommend!! ##### Katie C.

Visited Charleston for a Bachelorette Girls weekend & this was the perfect spot! We had a rainier weekend than we hoped for, but time to enjoy relaxing and gabbing on the gorgeous porch was a silver lining. We loved walking to the end of the dock to enjoy sunset view & a peaceful moment. The outdoor space is truly top notch! The River Girl is well located for those looking for a little space, while still having easy access for all the area has to offer. Easy drive downtown and to the beach, although we recommend planning ahead for a ride into town for night life, as catching an Uber wasn’t always an option. The home itself is well stocked, clean and comfortable. Our group of 6 had more than enough room to spread out & have some privacy. The extra full size fridge and wine fridge were an added plus & surprise - always a great thing for a big group. The hosts are easy to work with, kind and accommodating. Everything from booking to checkout was easy as can be. We hope to have the chance to stay at the River Girl again. ##### Phoebe L.
