This house was very disappointing and not worth what we paid. We have stayed in many homes. This was one needs help.
1. No toilet paper or paper towels.
2. No curtains up in the bathrooms.
3. Dishwasher not working properly (she already knew this…note found in the trash can from the last folks who stayed there).
4. Not enough towels…we had to wash daily.
5. Dryer needs a heating element (dryer would run all night long…she already knew this too). She left wet cushions hanging up when we arrived.
6. No extra blankets and pillows in the bedrooms.
7. Middle bedroom mattress is terrible to sleep on and no reading lamp on night stand.
8. Light bulbs missing from every fixture in the place.
9. Light in master bedroom shower not working.
This house could be really nice.

You Will Not Be Disappointed!

This lovely house is located in Mt. Pleasant SC in a quiet secluded neighborhood, ~10 miles NE of downtown Charleston. Light traffic & a large fenced in back yard make it an ideal spot for families with small children. Every type of store & restaurant that one can imagine is within a 5 mile radius. Approx 1 mile north on RT 17 is a campground featuring mini-putt, go carts, an arcade, etc. If you're not into sightseeing, this location is ideal for just relaxing, taking strolls along the winding streets in the beautifully landscaped neighborhood. Getting to & from "CHI" is a short 30 minute drive...there's a "back road" from this location that connects to the interstate, right to the airport.

We found the house to be spotless with all the amenities we could have asked for. Wireless internet, a very large wall mounted flat screen TV, spacious bedrooms(with plenty of outlets), a beautiful large dining room, and in the kitchen, a nice glass table with chairs ideal for a doing a puzzle. The price was right, much more reasonable than what a family would pay in a hotel, plus, you can relax in "A WHOLE HOUSE". The owner also made it very easy for us to access the key & depart when we left.

Overall, 10/10 stars in every category I can think of...we had a great time! Would I go back to this exact spot?...DEFINITELY. Oh, if you ask, the owner may let you take home a souvenir pine cone from the yard...they're huge.

Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Restaurants we liked..."Tommy Condons", "T Bonz", "Jack's Cosmic Hot Dogs".

Some(of the many)nearby stores...WalMart Super Center, Target, Piggly Wiggly Supermarket(You gotta "...dig the pig...").

Beautiful home

Our family stayed at this home last weekend. It is a beautiful home, much larger than the pictures show. The home looks like a model home, everything from the bedding to the southern decor with a huge fenced in backyard. The furniture, stunning wood floors, and everything including the dishes were top-notch and exceptional. We have rented many vacation homes in the past in many states, however this is by far the nicest, most well kept property we have ever stayed in. The drive was short to get to the historic district of Charleston and we had a wonderful time. My only regret is we couldnt stay longer! The owner of this home was available,very nice and accomodating.
Thank you again
