The house is absolutely beautiful. It was fully renovated and the owners thought of every detail. We are a group of 12 friends that get together every year for a girls trip. Communication was great from the start. When we arrived, Ted had snacks and water stocked in the kitchen for our arrival. The beds and linens were so comfortable and high end. Robes in every bedroom. I felt like we were staying at a friend’s home. It was a perfect house for a group of our size, plenty of space to relax and catch up. Location is great due to proximity to King St, and plenty of parking for 3 SUV’s. If we come back to Charleston, this is the only place we will stay. Thank you Ted for your wonderful hospitality.
