Fantastic location and view

We stayed at this property for a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. The unit was fully stocked with kitchen and beach items. The view was spectacular. And Caroline was so responsive throughout our 4-day stay. Would definitely stay here next time we’re on the island.

Fantastic property/location for family of 4

My family had a wonderful time at this property. Proximity to the beach is awesome—and the beach was perfect for my 9yo and 13yo. Cooked several meals in the kitchen, which is small but functional. We hope to come back!

Relaxing oceanside

The drive to the island is great, oaks and moss make an amazing canopy for miles. The view from the condo is amazing, ocean as far as you can see. The pictures don't do it justice, the ocean is much closer than it appears. The outdoor furniture is comfortable and you can sit on it for hours and just watch the waves. The waves crashing into the beach lull you to sleep at night. We saw several deer running around in the brush while we enjoyed the porch. The condo was clean and has all the amenities you need to to cook if you wanted to cook. The owner was responsive to any questions that I had. Freshfields village is a short drive away and has various cuisines of restuaraunts and a nice grocery store. Charleston is a 40 minute drive away if you want to go for a visit. It was great to get away and relax.

Nightmare construction

Caroline sent an email 4 hours before check-in advising construction was taking place at the condo. She said it would be a "minimal intrusion". Upon pulling into the parking lot our hearts sank. 3 sides of the building were covered in ground-to-roof scaffolding, plastic sheeting, and a long makeshift plywood hallway greeted us at the entrance. Disappointment turned to dismay as we saw scaffolding and hanging plastic encroaching upon the master balcony. Below the unit was the crew's working area consisting of industrial-sized garbage bins, multiple sawhorses, supplies, and debris. We messaged Caroline with our concerns about the construction directly next door. She advised the ‘intrusion should be minimal” and apologized for the “inconvenience” stating the work started earlier than expected. It doesn’t take an expert to see the work had to be going on for a minimum of weeks. The "inconvenience” consisted of LOUD drilling and banging echoing in the condo. Friday we were awoken at 7:20 to crews working directly next door, hammering, banging, and tossing boards from the balcony. The noise was intolerable, and we were heartbroken. It took 5 attempts BEGGING Caroline for FAIR discount from the rate we paid. We sent videos to support our case and after two insulting offers off of the total, we received a partial refund. The situation was unfortunate but why the guests had to fight so hard to not get the raw end of the deal is baffling. A Relaxing vacation was stolen from us.
