We enjoy the house very much. The home offers four different outdoor areas. Excellent fenced area four our dog to sniff around. The location is fantastic if you like a quite beach.Thank you
This home was perfect for our much needed girl’s trip! We crafted home cooked meals every night in the well stocked kitchen. All beds were comfortable and the biew was amazing from every room. Great place and will definitely book again!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Marbella! We'd love to have y'all back to stay with us again soon on the Charleston Coast!
Based on the price we expected more. The house is old and outdated. One of the chairs broke while my son was sitting on the deck, it was rotted through. That’s the house in a nutshell. On top of that we had blood stains and other stains on the beds in two bedrooms. No sense of urgency to get things changed. Just texting me over and over. The house keeper they eventually sent over could not speak English so she could not understand what we we’re trying to communicate. I’ve stayed in many rentals, stay away from this one. Especially at this cost.

We are truly sorry to hear your stay did not meet expectations. The Marbella typically is well received by our vacation guests. Our goal is for everyone to have a nice relaxation vacation. The deck chair has been removed, and we reviewed these notes with the cleaning company we hire as well as the exterior maintenance crew who services the outside of the home.
