Susan was very accommodating and the view of the marsh is so relaxing. Surprisingly there were not many bugs and I was able to sit on the porch swing at dawn every morning. Usually I’m eaten alive by mosquitoes. That was exactly what we needed. It was also nice to see the dogs and cats :)

Great view overlooking the marsh, with easy access to everything in Charleston. The property is a shared space. The pool and driveway and yard are used by the owners as well. We were surprised once we got there to find out how close the villa and the pool was to the house.

Jennifer, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, the space is shared with the owners. The town of James Island will only allow Short Term Rental as long as the owners live on the property. This keeps the parking, noise and parties down in the local neighborhoods. We hope we were able to give you a fun and relaxing weekend!

Susan is a wonderful host. The property is fabulous! The scenery from the very comfortable porch is mesmerizing! If you like nature you will adore this place. We loved watching the birds. We had trouble getting our 21 year old Granddaughter to leave the property to go see the sights! We have never been able to say that before. Truly, this property is an excellent choice. We are going back!
