Excellent!!

I had an outstanding stay. The cottage is spacious, clean, and remarkably eclectic. The amenities--linens, towels, toiletries, kitchen provisions, etc.--are the best I've seen in a VRBO property. The bed was made up with comfortable duvets, the towels were new, thick and luxurious, the toiletries were full and professionally laid out, the kitchen had everything I could possibly need, and a bottle of red wine was set out with two glasses on a silver tray upon my arrival. The real star of this review, however, is the host. Susan is an absolute gem! She met me to introduce herself and make sure I had everything I needed and that all was satisfactory. When I requested an extension that overlapped with a prior booking, she took it upon herself to find "gap" lodging for me during the time of the prior booking. She made my problem her problem--it doesn't get any better! I have nothing but good things to say about this property and the host.

Really cozy - great location - super host

Beautiful location nestled in the trees and the cottage was very comfortable. Susan was more than accommodating and gave us the best recommendations on things to do and see. She is a delight to talk to and can easily be a lifelong friend. This far exceeded our expectations and we will most definitely stay here again.

Summerville "Cottage" review.

The location of the house was perfect for what we needed. The outside of the house and the porch were very inviting. The host was very nice and kept us very informed and stayed in touch the entire time. The inside of the place we stayed was not what we expected. When we tried to book the actual cottage that was listed, the host contacted me and said that it would only be available for only a portion of the time we needed it. She then offered the entire floor of the main house for the same price. We were told that there was a person and a dog upstairs and we were ok with that. The host had an emergency situation so the house was not ready when we were due to check in. That was not an issue. The house itself kind of was. We had a bedroom but the dressers and most of the closet were full. We did have the use of two full bathrooms which was nice and the bed was very comfortable. We had no place to put our luggage because the other rooms on the main floor were off limits due to them being full of stuff. We also had full use of the kitchen and a refrigerator to our selves. The living rooms and dining rooms had a great amount of clutter and the house had a smell of mildew. The host was very open and really made an effort to make us feel at home. I would do business with her anytime but I would not stay in that particular house again.

I have stayed at a lot of vacation home’s threw out the years that were nice. I have never had the feeling at any of them like being at home like this one. It was very homey. Susan made you feel right at home and made herself available any time. Very cozy and decorated adorably. Lovely histrionic district and a short drive to Charleston. I will stay there again.

Springtime in Summerville

This location was central to everything that we looked forward to doing in the Charleston area, from Savannah to Myrtle Beach. We enjoyed many plantations, cypress swamp state parks, a monastery, Patriots Point Museum, Paris Island Marine Base museum, along with visiting the towns and cities in between. The cottage was perfect for us, and the host was always kind and gracious. We spent a full month here without any issues, and would recommend it highly. Thank you, Susan, for everything!

Our Stay At Susan's

A stay at Susan's is a true taste of what Southern hospitality is all about. Susan was a gracious and attentive host. She provided us with all the basic comforts and more. We rented out the upper floor of the main home on our stay. The home's downtown Summerville location was ideal for our needs. Bed linens were clean and fresh towels were provided in the bathroom along with other toiletries. We enjoyed many evenings spent out on the front porch listening to the crickets, sipping wine, playing music, sharing conversation and charcuterie with both Susan and other house guests. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we unexpectedly made some new friends in the process!

Unexpected Community, wonderful experience

We reserved this wonderful home not realizing we would be sharing the property with others. It was such a wonderful experience, I feel that we connected with everyone and made long term friends. I am very grateful to Susan for opening up her lovely home and embracing our family, the dogs and the music. :-)

Dream House

We stayed in the main house on the property. We were greeted by other guests, Edie + Rob, who were very welcoming and showed us around. We met Susan the day after arrival. She is so lovely! We enjoyed her company as well as the home. I really loved the names of the rooms and all the unique paintings, antiques, fixtures, and colourful walls. The house is a dream! Thank you for having us and allowing us to stay in your home. We hope to visit again someday and we will definitely book with Susan again. X

Summerville Fun

We had a great time at our Summerville rental. Susan, the owner, was so hospitable and knowledgeable of the area. She helped us plan our time in Summerville and Charleston to make the most of it. We also had fun getting to know Susan while relaxing on her porch. We strongly recommend this property and look forward to visiting again.

The property is beautiful with lots of trees, and such a wonderful location. So close to downtown.

We stayed in the Cottage over two months. It was a wonderful experience. The Cottage had everything we needed, and lot of space to spread out. We loved Susan. What a wonderful and kind person. She was so helpful with everything and made sure we enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend staying here.
