*Severe Weather Policy*

Our severe weather and Extenuating Circumstances: Hurricane Policy is as follows:

If a Mandatory Evacuation Order is issued by the Governor of SC specifically for the county in which your property is located for the dates of your stay, the extenuating circumstances policy will be in effect. In this case we WILL refund any deposits or payments paid by the guest and we shall have no additional liability concerning the reservation.

However, if a Mandatory Evacuation Order is NOT issued by the Governor of SC, then the standard cancellation policy will still apply and no refund will be issued. This is the case even if the guest chooses to cancel or travel is disrupted due to the storm.

Additionally, if there is adverse weather phenomenon outside of Charleston or SC (ie. other regions of the US or abroad) during the dates of the guests' stay which hinders the guests from traveling to the property, the standard cancellation policy will still apply. Therefore, a refund will NOT be issued.

***ATTENTION***
Hurricane season is during the months of June-November. During this time we HIGHLY recommend guests research and purchase travel insurance.

Great late April stay

This property was a clean, bright, well-appointed house in historic Charleston. Beds were comfy, the outdoor patio was peaceful and the jasmine smelled delicious! The hosts were very easy and prompt to communicate with.

Great location

The house is in a great location, an easy drive or walk to the main parts of downtown Charleston. Town and Island were very detailed with instructions and were very responsive. The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for our basic needs. The island made a great place for the group to play games.

Beautiful place in a great location

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, clean, quiet place in a perfect location to explore Charleston. The entire process was very smooth with no issues and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Cleanliness, quality of furnishings, and private parking all contributed towards our enjoyment of this place. Situated in a great neighborhood spot and was very walkable to many of the highlights that Charleston has to offer. We would 100% recommend this place to anyone wishing to have a nice and comfortable place to explore Charleston.

Great weekend in Charleston

Stayed here with two buddies for a long-weekend reunion, and the house was great: 3 clean bedrooms each with own bathroom, set back from street for a quiet stay. Living room and kitchen area was perfect for 3 of us (might have been a bit tight for more). The location was the star of the show: just a couple blocks off of King Street, we walked everywhere we wanted to go the whole weekend. Thanks for making our trip excellent!
