*Home Truths:* - You must be 25 years or older to book this home. - Please note that Early Check-In (ECI) and Late Check-Out (LCO) services are not available from May to September. - There is a dangerous drop-off adjacent to the beach behind home. Guests MUST use the path and keep away from the edge to safely access it. Directions: enter the path from the backyard, go left, and walk about 30 ft. until you reach the beach. - This is NOT a swimming beach due to the riptide. - The home has a private unheated pool. - Beach chairs/toys are not included at this property. - Unfortunately, pets and ESAs are not allowed in this home. If undisclosed animals are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval, there is a fine of $500 per pet. - Fireplaces are not for guest use. - Please note that due to natural coastal conditions, beach areas may experience periodic erosion that can affect shoreline size and accessibility. During periods of high tide, portions of the beach—or the entire beach—may be temporarily inaccessible. We are not able to guarantee identical beach conditions for future stays, and refunds or relocations will not be available due to these natural changes. - While we do our best to communicate any known work within Wild Dunes or nearby beach projects, many homes are privately owned and we are not always notified of surrounding activity. As a result, we are unable to guarantee a disruption-free environment or offer relocation for any unforeseen construction.

Beautiful property with everything our family could need or want. Enjoyed location, pool area, and home! Close to great restaurants, beach spots and Charleston. Had 1 day situation with air conditioning that was resolved before we turned in for the night.Couldn’t ask for better customer service.

This is a uniquely situated property on Sullivans Island, which has very few short term rentals. The home has great views and large outdoor areas. It is a few minutes from the business district at Sullivans Island or Isle of Palms. This is a classic beach house with an old school vibe. Our families really enjoyed our stay.

It's wonderful to know that our AvantStay team were available and accommodating, and that you found the services offered by AvantStay to be convenient.

The location and layout were great and we would definitely return. The check-in process and communication were excellent. The only feedback we have is that the ant issue in the kitchen is real in spite of us not leaving any food out and some maintenance is needed in the upstairs bathrooms as one of the doors has broken hinges and doesn’t close and a shower door is off the track. Overall, the property is beautiful and we enjoyed our time there.

Overall our stay was amazing! The location was perfect and the A/C worked almost to well! The house did come with Ants and a few bugs in the kitchen. One thing we wish is that the pool had lights so we could of enjoyed it in the evenings.

The prime location of this home is second to none. With plenty of off-street parking and easy access, the back steps lead right down to the sand. The pool was pristine (but chilly in February). The grill included not one but two propane tanks. The linens were plentiful. The wide plank wood floors are beautiful. Very relaxing!

Well Below Expectation
Kitchen sink swarming with ants; window sills hanging off the wall/window; bathroom plumbing rusted; ceiling fans discolored from wear & tear and dusty; dead & dried bugs on walls. Absolutely not worth the nearly 1,000 per night cost.
I will not stay here again, nor do I recommend it to anyone. Photos were very “kind” to the property although not accurate.

Hi Elizabeth!
Oh no! Great guest experiences are something we always strive for at AvantStay. We'd like to get more detail so we can make your stay a better one in the future - we'll be in touch shortly!
We were here for our med school reunion. The house was perfect for our group of 8. Views of Breech Inlet and the Isle of Palms were tranquil. We saw several dolphins from the porch. Despite not having great weather for the weekend, we were able to walk on the beach. Sullivan’s Island is familiar to all of our group and it did not disappoint. There were minor issues when we got to the house but Tyler was very helpful and accommodating. The interior of this home is quite nice. All of the beds were very comfortable. The pine floors are beautiful for the age of the home. I do wish that the homeowner would see fit to do some repair work to the outside of the home and pick up the trash at the stairway/deck off of the back of the home. I drove by this property months ago (after we’d rented) and seeing the outside I was concerned about how the interior might look. First impressions are important. In spite of that, we would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you, Alison, for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that the house was perfect for your med school reunion and that you enjoyed the tranquil views and comfortable beds.

Upon arrival, I will say the house is a lot more warn and used than the pictures portrayed however nothing that hindered its functionality. We booked this house so that it could accommodate all of my fairly large family and that it did. Plenty of space for everyone. The only draw back is it must be a tanked water heater rather than a tankless so most of us took cold showers the first day but we quickly worked out a loose shower schedule and all was well. Again, if you’re expecting a pristine/brand new home, this is not it. However, If you come with the expectation of what Sullivan’s island used to be and still remains (especially on the isle of palms side) which is an old beach town that has history and is meant for relaxation and offers everything you need and nothing that you don’t and you leave your pretentiousness at the door then you will be most satisfied. A thing here or there needed some attention for which the host was very responsive and timely in getting the little hiccups resolved. Overall, especially for the price, I’d say it was a lovely stay however If you are or you’re going with an OCD pessimistic person then you/they will have a field day here… just something to keep in mind.

Thank you for your review, Matthew! We’re so glad to hear that the space worked well for your large family and that you were able to work through the shower schedule to make it more comfortable. We appreciate your understanding of the property's charm and character. We strive to create a relaxing, authentic experience on Sullivan’s Island, and it’s great to know that you were able to enjoy that. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you again in the future!
My wife walked in and within 10 minutes joked she would need a strong drink to get used to the house, but the joke lost its humor during our stay. Each individual issue on its own would be forgivable if it were only 1, but collectively they really created a terrible experience.
Ice makers don’t work on ice machine or fridge. Stovetop doesn’t work. Freezer door doesn’t close properly and barely keeps ice cream frozen. I told the property manager about ice and range, neither were fixed during our stay. Our mattress had a blood stain on it, visible through the sheets. Millions of ants and a huge cockroach were seen & killed by us during our stay. The ping pong table under the house was filthy with a huge layer of dirt. There are no smoke or c02 detectors in several bedrooms which is a safety hazard & likely violation of rental laws. Our code didn’t work on arrival. The company has automated responses & “customer service” which sends you pointless messages multiple times per day. No hotpads. House hasn’t been painted in years, with wall stains and rotting wood. 2 doorknobs fell off - the front door and a back door. Rusty hinges and metal throughout the house. Cabinets are beat to hell. The fridge doesn’t even have shelves. A huge brown stain around the base of one toilet on the floor. Blinds are broken and missing. View of a bridge, not open water.
This house has been ridden hard and put away wet. Time to put it down, or invest some $$ in a maintenance team and improvements.

Thank you for your feedback, Josh. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. Our team worked hard to make your experience enjoyable, personally visiting when you requested assistance, having housekeeping return, and dropping off an ice maker and extra items for your convenience. We also offered to schedule maintenance at your convenience. We are pleased that we could provide a partial refund for the issues you faced. We have taken your concerns seriously, as new fridge shelves have been ordered and installed, and we coordinated with multiple technicians and the gas company to resolve the stove issue. Our home is regularly serviced by Orkin pest control, and we've brought in an additional pest control company to address the concerns you mentioned, as we do not want future guests to experience the same issues. We appreciate your understanding, and we will continue to work hard to improve our property for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback!
