INCLEMENT WEATHER
Your safety and comfort are our priority. In the unlikely event of a MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR CHARLESTON COUNTY during your stay, rest assured that both the Owner/Host and the Property Management Company WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR PAYMENTS for the dates of evacuation. Once refunded, neither party will have further liability regarding your Reservation.
Please note that ONLY MANDATORY EVACUATIONS WILL QUALIFY FOR REFUNDS. No other travel disruptions due to weather, whether in South Carolina or other states, are eligible. For protection, consider travel insurance, especially in high-risk months like hurricane season. Airbnb`s insurance or other options are recommended.
INSECTS
As Charleston is situated in a warm, coastal climate it is possible to see insects inside or outside of the home at times. These include palmetto bugs, sand gnats, mosquitoes, ants, etc. Those who live in the Lowcountry just accept this as part of living here but it may be unsettling for those from other areas. The home is treated regularly for pest control but this will not entirely eliminate insects from getting inside at times. Please do your best to not keep doors and windows open and not leave food or drinks out in the home as this will attract insects. FINDING AN INSECT IS NOT CAUSE FOR A REFUND.
We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist with any inquiries. We look forward to your visit.

Fishing trip.
Property was perfect for a few of us on a fishing trip. Easy to get to St. John’s yacht harbor marina. Plenty of grocery stores and ice close by. Would stay here again when we come back.

Quiet home away from home
We had a short but great visit in James Island. The house was clean and in a very nice residential neighborhood that was pretty central and just minutes drive to most stores and beaches. The hospitality group stayed in touch frequently and also sent extensive lists and directions to local sightseeing, restaurants, and groceries. Overall was a very nice stay.

We loved this house! It was incredibly clean, the furnishings were pretty and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were perfect for a good nights sleep. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised. The outdoor area was fantastic. We started the day with coffee on the patio and ended the day around the fire pit. The location is amazing! You are just a few minutes from everything. Our host Judy was so nice and easy to work with. She quickly responded to any question I had. We would highly recommend staying here!

This didn’t end up being a great fit for a family of 5. We should have been more diligent in reading the listing, but one shower for 5 people wasn’t appropriate. The bathroom doors didn’t have locks, one bathroom didn’t have a fan, and there was no available washer and dryer, which we assumed there would be.

Great location to folly beach and downtown charleston which is what we were looking for. Home could have been much cleaner, the rugs were filthy. There was dust under the furniture and on the AC intake. The backyard was not maintained well, definitely did not match the photos. Everything was overgrown and it was not appealing. The kitchen tile was cracked and broken, it was covered with a rug.
