Amazing week at the beach

What an absolutely beautiful home! Very well appointed, comfortable, and with room for everybody. Rainy afternoons on the screen porch were ideal. This house has everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach!

A delightful week on Sullivan's Island

This house was perfect!! Great location close to the beach, but in a quiet area. The kitchen was very well equipped...we even had a beverage fridge!!! The porches with fans were the perfect spot to relax. We had a great time here and would love to come again!

For a relaxing vacation, this is great!

Loved the porch! Lots of room and comfy seating. Nice separation of bedrooms, and liked having the second sitting area. Kitchen had everything we needed. If you want an unpretentious “ classic” place to stay with great beach access.... this is it.

Had a great time. The house had everything we needed. One minor problem. During a rain storm, one of the bedroom ceilings sprang a leak. The realty office promises that a new roof is coming.

Perfect family beach house

We had 8 family members/ 3 generations stay here for a Charleston wedding. So perfect. The house is spread out enough to provide privacy when needed, yet had large enough gathering spaces to accommodate the group. Our only regret was that wedding commitments didn't let us enjoy the property fully. We want to come back! The house is perfectly situated; you really can't get any closer to the beach, and it's an easy walk into "town" (3 blocks) to enjoy the restaurants, etc. Sullivan's island is also just a very short drive into downtown Charleston across the coolest bridge in the country. So glad we picked this place. This house felt like home right away; like our family beach house but with better weather. If you like chrome and modern- stay away; this isn't for you. But if you like bead board, wide, old shingles, nice old wood floors, a gorgeous wraparound porch, and a feeling of ease (with a modern kitchen thrown in), then you've found the right spot. This was our family's first visit to Charleston, but not our last. Thank you very, very much. p.s. Carroll Realty provides a great phone app that we found very useful. Checkout procedures, trash pickup, concierge links, etc were all there, in one spot, on our phones. Definitely a value-added app.

Comfortable home, family friendly in the perfect spot

We loved staying in this spacious, well appointed beach home. The plastic connecting the toilet handle to the chain broke during our stay, and unfortunately it was not repaired. Other than that, no complaints!

Perfect beach vacation!

What a fantastic house! Our traveling party of five adults and four kids thoroughly enjoyed spending a week here. The porch was everyone's favorite -- spacious and comfortable, we all loved having breakfast out here in the mornings, and the children played on the porch all week long. (I do echo another comment that ceiling fans would make the porch even better.) The outdoor shower was super convenient, and the kitchen was beautifully renovated with everything we could need. And the layout was perfect for our three families. Everyone had enough privacy and bathroom space, which is important when traveling with large groups! Not only was the house itself wonderful, but its proximity to the beach and the restaurants in town cannot be beat. It was easy to hop into town for lunch or to take a quick evening walk on the beach. We hardly used our cars! I can't say enough great things about this house. We truly had a perfect beach vacation, and if we travel back to Sullivan's Island as a large group again, this house will be our first choice accommodation!

Wonderful home, comfortable, signifocant updates without loosing the Charleston charm

So close to the beach and Charleston. Kitchen had more than sufficient equipment, mostly new appliances. The house is split into two sections which gave our children some privacy. The area was very peaceful even though it is highly residential. We will return.

Overall a very memorable time in a comfortable home

The location of this home is simply perfect. We were just across the street from access to the beach. The home was quite comfortable and rustic. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, but we were within walking distance of some very good restaurants. Our favorite place to gather was on the large screened porch. The way the rooms were divided worked out wonderfully for our needs. This home is older, but that is part of its charm. I would have given it 5 stars, but one of the twin beds broke (not very sturdy construction) and for a family of cooks (with one professional chef, plus it was Thanksgiving) the kitchen was barely adequate. But we brought some of our own equipment and that helped a great deal. It was clean, comfortable sleeping and plenty of space for all of us to spread out. We had 11 people and our spoiled Jack Russell Terrier. We hope to make this a new family tradition. We are so grateful to have found this home!

Classic Sullivan's Island Home Packed with Charm

I rented this home as a base for my family during my daughter's wedding. The house has a great layout for families needing to gather together yet have space for privacy. It is classic South Carolina Low Country architecture. High ceilings, large windows, wooden floors and screened porches to expand the living area give it good old-fashioned appeal. Think of the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco or the Hotel Wolcott in NYC... this home has turn of the century appeal. It is tastefully decorated and has a comfortable yet classic feel. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall a good location with plenty of space for a gathering of 10 but needs some TLC

We had a great time in Sullivan's Island. The proximity of beach and restaurants was a big plus. While the property did have some shortcomings it was comfortable with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their own space. There is always 10% about any place that will not be what you wish it to be. Most of the issues were stated in other reviews and did not diminish our enjoyment. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Honest Review

The location of this house is fantastic, and that's what you're paying for here. Close to the beach and all the fun things about Sullivan's - Poe's Tavern, tennis courts, etc. We loved that we could bring our dog. The space was great for our family of 5 plus 4 guests. The house was in need of some TLC - one bathroom was in such poor condition that I had our guests use the master, which was relatively new. There were ripped screens on the back porch, and the front porch badly needed a good cleaning. Someone needed to check/restock the kitchen. There was no type of cake pan, the grill pan was missing the bottom, the dishwasher door didn't close properly. Everything in the house including the furniture was just a little "tired." So yes, it is a charming, rambling beach house in a great location, but we are not renting it again.

Great location. Needs TLC.

Wonderful old-style, rambling beach house with a few maintenance issues. Bathtub with peeling paint (revealing original rose color) is messy and unacceptable. Gas grill tank was empty and porch floors badly needed mopping-- which I did. Some of the light fixtures-- most notably exterior lights, which were needed) either didn't work or had bad bulbs. Great location within hearing of the surf and walking distance to restaurants but in a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking. Lovely Atlantic Ocean beach was a pleasnt five minute walk. Wonderful for a large family group.
