beautiful home

Home was beautiful. We didn't realize the stairs entering were so steep and as a result my mother fell. It was also difficult to use the master bath vanity as it was very high and we are short people. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and the home was beautiful.

It was nice but….

It would have been nice to have a listing of nearby eateries, things to do or places of interest and the wi-fi code listed with instructions for the stay. Lovely location and charming home with a shabby chic beachy feel. Overall a very nice experience.

Cozy Stay

Super cute home, more than enough space for my partner and I. We didnt want to go far for the weekend, and found a nice little nook in our city. The home itself is clean, and has essentials you may need while there for cooking, and bathing. I loved the backyard space and we were able to utilize the outside fireplace which was fantastic. I did want to use the inside, but we were not able it was locked. Also none of the rooms have a television so we had to stay in the livingroom for that. Overall very lovely home, and we would stay again !

Great location; great place

The cottage was great (at least as attractive as the pictures) and Vicki was helpful. Since there is no outside grill, it would be helpful to have a broiler pan to grill in the oven and a large stock pot for cooking pasta.

SC TRIP

Overall very nice property. I travelled with 3- 80+ year old family members and the shower in the master was a bit slippery. I brought grab handles with me for them which worked nicely in the second bath but the surface on the wall in the master would not allow creation of a seal. Also towel racks would be helpful. We had a great time visiting with family in the area- the location was very convenient. The neighbors were very friendly.

Perfect Getaway Location

The house feels like home which is exactly what you’re looking for when traveling! Very clean, well maintained, tastefully decorated, and supplies to satisfy what you need. There are a few places within the community that are walking distance like a restaurant, coffee shop, convenience store, nail salon and so much just down the street that you don’t have to travel far. The neighborhood where the house is located is safe, clean, and nearly picture perfect. It’s quiet for a good night’s sleep! You can walk for miles just exploring the community and not see it all. Street parking is safe and we always parked right out the front door. Highly recommend this house if you’re in the area. We booked this house for a wedding in Columbia and it was an easy drive to abd from.
