Great place in perfect location. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Clean and stocked with essentials and had us some delicious banana bread waiting for us.
Just what we needed; a comfortable bed, nice bathroom, located close to “downtown” where we found some remarkable restaurants! Can’t forget the delicious banana bread baked by our host! Great stay!’
Perfect room, area, and stay. JoDee and Rich were awesome. The room had all the necessities to make a stay enjoyable. Great walking town. Will definitely stay there again.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property! The home beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in and check-out a breeze. We especially appreciated the little touches like the welcome banana bread, welcome basket, water in the refrigerator, k-cups, sugar and creamer and local recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again!
Was a wonderful place to stay during our transition to Summerville. Enjoyed the evenings on the private porch. Walking distance to walking trail and shopping
The space was very clean and very quiet! It was perfect for our short trip, and it was great to be able to walk to downtown Summerville. We did spend most of our days in downtown Charleston and the surrounding beaches, and the drive from Summerville wasn't bad at all. Easy check-in and out, and Jo and Rich were so kind!
Perfect weekend retreat space for my husband and me 🌟 Owners are phenomenal people and our accommodations were perfect- clean, quiet, private and well-equipped for any need we encountered. Bed was marvelously cozy! Brief jaunt to quaint, cool downtown area and all advice on where to eat was spot-on!! We WILL RETURN❤️❤️❤️
We have family in the area and having a nice, quiet place to retreat to in the evenings was exactly what we needed. Our hosts made our stay so welcoming. Lovely flowers, banana bread, coffee, breakfast cereal were there in the room for our enjoyment. Our room included a small well stocked kitchenette, comfortable bed, nice sized bathroom. Also great outdoor seating. This rental is in an quiet neighborhood close to the historic downtown. We were very pleased and highly recommend.
Very nice place, clean, convienient and on line pictures were accurate. We are older and we do not have TV apps on our phone. The TV was therefore unavailable.
Jo was a perfect hostess. Anything we needed she responded immediately. The accommodations were exceptional! Needed nothing and some didn’t expect! Snacks, water, banana bread, and I could go on. Location was perfect to downtown Summerville, our visit to Charleston and Folly Beach!! Was better than we could have expected and hope to go back
Just moved to the area from out of state. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and so respectful. There was a cute little porch for me to sit and enjoy my tea. The area is so close to everything you could want. The house was so clean and smelled so good and welcoming. It honestly was the best vrbo I have ever stayed in. What you would think of a nice southern home and hospitality is. Its right here. thank you so much for making such a pleasant stay!
The room was small, but well-equipped with everything we needed. The queen size bed was very comfortable! Our only issue was with the TV which one must "cast" from a smartphone. We tried in many ways, but it never worked for us (our host tried to help us, but to know avail) . No problem as we watched a movie on my I-Pad. Really enjoyed meeting our hosts!
This was absolutely perfect!Exactly what we needed for our getaway Everything we needed and more Accommodations were excellent everything was well-maintainedSummerville was warm & welcoming Experienced some great restaurants just around the corner. Recommend: Biscuit Belly, Shuckin, Benny Mazzetto’, Toast All Day & the Ice HouseAND THE SHOPS!!! We will return
