The property was clean and located in a wonderful neighborhood; quiet and walkable. The property is pet friendly and we enjoyed walks everyday down to the shops in Old Town (lots of pet friendly options). The owner communicated all arrival/departure information and provided excellent recommendations for things to do!

Beauty in Bluffton

We were looking for a pet-friendly, quiet place to stay while visiting family, and this home delivered! Located steps away from a park meant our pup was very happy. The home was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend it to others.

The property was just as expected, very clean and welcoming. Selena communicated tirelessly and even let us know that the property was ready a little ahead of schedule. The bed was comfy with a memory foam topper that did its magic as soon as we settled in. Perfect location with park, dog park, and lovely sidewalks everywhere for walking. We had an easy stroll for breakfast at Sippin Pig with our dog on their outdoor porch. Plenty of room to pop up our dog's crate so she stayed safe while we were away. Highly recommend and encourage other pet owners to adhere to the no pets on furniture policy to keep this spot the lovely gem it is for everyone.

Hi Tania, the cleaning crew leave enough towels and wash clothes for 4 guests. The property contains a washer a dryer also. Each bed has a memory foam mattress with a mattress topper. Each room contains a ceiling fan and also air-conditioning for cooling. The bedroom closets are large with hanging space and storage. Old Town Bluffton is a popular area and parking can be tricky at times although parking is free and available to all guests and residents in the townhome community.

Just Like HOME

I stayed over the 4th of July. What a great place .VERY CLEAN and nicely decorated.!! . Five minutes to outlets, 15 to Hilton Head Island, and blocks away from the historic Town of Blufton that has great restaurants.( Mexican and Hog Head Kitchen and Wine Bar.) The backyard was wonderful for evening sittings. The kitchen has what you need and ICE in the freezer waiting for drinks.The neighborhood is quiet, neighbors were friendly, and I felt very safe coming back after midnight walking the streets. There is also a beautiful park across the street. The property manager attended to a need ASAP when I thought a fan didn't work. She resolved the concern. I am looking forward to renting again.

I want to bring to essence of the town inside of the property for my guests to enjoy!
