Great Location - Needs TLC
Bob was very helpful and responsive. The location is great and the nights were quiet. Parking is a plus. The place needs some TLC -- not very clean, old carpet in the bedroom and no attention to detail.

Great little gem
We had a wonderful time at this cozy spot. It is so close to the beach which made for an amazing time. We loved being able to walk in either direction through the neighborhood to grab coffee. We could walk down the path to get right to the beach and enjoy the afternoon with our family. There seemed to be parking available on the street most days but we had our own parking spot on site. It was a quiet neighborhood too. The property had what we needed. The host was extremely responsive and made our stay very nice. We would be happy to stay here again!

Perfect rental of you live the beach!
Our stay was amazing. The landlord was kind and wonderful. The property was warm and inviting. It had everything you needed to cook, play at the beach, wash your clothing, etc. This property is walkable to the pier, the beach, dinning, and shopping. It was so lovely we actually changed our trip to spend most of the time in the beach and in town.

Great location and fulfillment of our needs
We are a retired couple in town for a wedding. Owner was very available and responsive. Perfect for 2 people. Walkable to the SC Pier, beach, and town. Know that there is a hill to walk up from the street and stairs to this upstairs unit. There are washer/dryer and beach toys available. We found this cute place met all our needs for a long weekend. Some noise from neighboring partying but wasn’t a problem. Bed and linens are nice. AC was welcome during this heat wave time. Would return to this place if ever in the area.
