We like to come to this property. We stayed in one of the other units a few months ago. We had everything we could want except a bathtub (which I really missed).
My wife and I have been to Summerville twice now and enjoy booking this place when we visit. It is cozy and has a nice large king bed, as well as easy access to the downtown area. The owners were very kind and generous for our anniversary trip, and we appreciate their hospitality!

Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure to have you!
We had a very enjoyable stay ! I was thinking from the listing that it was a whole house but it is actually only the backside of the house that is the suite . It was very nice and felt like we had a whole house! It was very comfortable and relaxed! Definitely hope to come back again some day soon !

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. It was a pleasure to have you! As noted on the listing, our main home consists of three private suites. Each suite has its own space and entrance. The only shared space is the grand front porch!
Communication with the property manager made the stay seamless. The property was clean and exactly as advertised. We will be having out of town guests stay here again!

Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure to have you!
Overall, this was a great property. It was during a hurricane so I got very little time to enjoy the area but it was a nice place to stay during the days of rain.
My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay. This was our third time at one of the units on the property, and we will definitely stay again. The bed was so comfortable - honestly the best 5 nights of sleep I've had all year. The location is fabulous for exploring Summerville on foot or for day trips out of the area. Lauren was excellent to work with - no issues at all with our stay. Thanks for a great vacation!
