DUPLEX HOME
Please note that the home is a duplex and there is a separate second unit above the garage that has it`s own entrance that is used sparingly by the homeowner when in town. There are no interior spaces or entrances shared.
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.

8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
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.

We absolutely loved the location, it was close to everything that we wanted to visit! Beautiful home and backyard. The bugs/pests were our only
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Great stay! Host was very kind with great communication and local recommendations and the property was just what we needed. Thank you!
6 / 10Average·Nov 2025
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.
