*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.
- The home does not have access to a pool.
- Guests must supply their own beach towels.
- 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.

Great Location

This house is a perfect base to explore the area. The beach and the restaurants are just steps away. Easy drive to any other area of Charleston. The house is very clean and comfortable, with new furniture on the porch and family room. We spent a ton of time relaxing on the screened porch. The property managers were very responsive and friendly when we had questions. We would stay again!

Very good house

The house was exactly as advertised. It was great. One suggestion: It seems the house is well suited for two small families. As it is today, the two master bathrooms share a bathroom. It would have made more sense for our families (and perhaps for others) if one of the master bedrooms was moved to the other side of the house. That way, two families can share the bathroom with their kids. Hopefully that makes sense. Otherwise, the house was exactly what we were looking for. The beds/pillows were comfortable. Everything worked in the house. It is well located, just a walk to the beach and to all the retail/various restaurants on Sullivan's. Many thanks!
