Very convenient to everything we wanted to do and see. The granddaughters enjoyed the pool and proximity of the beach. It was a 10 minute drive to the race start.

Girls Weekend

We had a blast at this home for a girls’ weekend! It was a short walk to the beach as well as IOP restaurants and bars. The home comfortably slept 8 of us and we had more than enough room in the kitchen and dining room! Would definitely stay here again!

Bachelor Weekend

Peter’s property was the perfect location for getting a full Charleston experience. Located only 2 blocks from IOPs main drag of shops and restaurants. Across the street from the beach and within 25 minutes of almost any major attraction in Charleston. I would rent again! Thank you.

Perfect beach cottage

Our 3rd or 4th year renting this home. Bathrooms and bedrooms have been nicely upgraded. Kids love having a pool and the beach path is directly in front of house and the littles have learned to cross ocean Blvd by themselves over the past few years. Perfect house for a family

House With Lots of Room

We enjoyed staying at this house. The location was great and the house was very roomy. The porch was very nice. The updated bedrooms and baths were very nice. The house was clean but the sofas and pillows were stained and soiled. The rugs could use some cleaning also.

Perfect location

This was our second year staying in this rental. The location is absolutely ideal. The fridge didn’t seem to get as cold as it should and we were able to contact the owner and he had a company come out to look at the fridge that day. We did however have a colder fridge downstairs to put our food in. A little bit inconvenient to have to go downstairs for food for our meals but it was fine just the same. When we arrived I didn’t feel like the cleaning crew did as good of a job as they had last year but that was no worries as well. We really enjoy this location and the pool is a big hit for my kids.

Nice beach house and non-appealing non-heated pool

Very nice open lining room combined dining area with plenty of seating and cozy sea side decor. Kitchen was spacious; all appliances worked. Fun retro under counter radio. Lovely veranda and nice back porch overlooking pool. Pool was disappointing. Wasn’t clean when we arrived and even after being cleaned 3 days into our stay , it still was not appealing. Pool definitely needs an upgrade and addition of heating capabilities for a more ideal rental home. Bedrooms were not as pictured but were satisfactory. 2 rooms each had a queen bed plus a bunk bed combo queen & full. We were not expecting bunk beds. As 5 elderly women, bunk beds are not our style. We had to provide our own anti-slip bathtub mats as owner didn’t reply to our request for them. We left them as a gift for future guests. Bathrooms had been recently updated/refreshed. Weather and beach and town were delightful.

fun low key bachelorette trip

The location was great, right across to the beach access. less then 5 minute walk to bars or restaurants. A lot of space for parking and can sleep up to 10 but 8 comfortably. Kitchen was small but functional could use some updating. Dining room table was spacious and great for eating and playing games. Bathrooms & main bedroom nicely updated & spacious. Great porch w/ rockers. rest of the house could use updating. Front door was hard to open and was sticky. access to backyard and pool was not easy or convenient. Deck needs work we did get splinters so that could be dangerous. overall we had a nice weekend. very good place for family or friends to spend a few days at the beach.
