Beach House

I was extremely pleased with this property. It was clean and roomy and had all the amenities needed for our stay. We liked the close proximity to the beach and the public beach access was a short walk. Would stay in the beach house again if we are in the Charleston area.

We loved our stay at the property! The house is just as pictured. The backyard needs some work due to storm issues, but still has a table for dining on the patio. We liked th short walk to the beach and the house having the beach necessities was great! We would stay here again!

A hidden treasure, this charming original well-maintained cottage is the perfect spot for a family wanting to vacation in a first class beach town without having to invite too many people to fill one of the many new expensive vacation homes, or put up with relatives you don't enjoy.
