Best Vrbo Experience
The house is in a great location for walking to restaurants or anything you may need, getting to Charleston, Folly Beach, and Isle of Palms. The property has a nice and quaint fenced in backyard. Joe, was very responsive with any needs. I would stay at one of Joe's properties again.

Great host. Good location and comfortable unit
We wanted a pet friendly place to stay for the month of November. This unit was wonderfully located central to Shem Creek and Old Village. The unit is a bit tired, but to be expected in a unit that is pet friendly. You are primarily paying for the location. I would stay here again in a second if I knew the mold problem was resolved. There was mold and some moisture near the vents in the bathroom and in one of the bedrooms. Otherwise good. Perfect gated area to let our dogs out. Felt very safe and kitchen was wonderfully functional. Lots of shelves and storage. Would have loved a bit of a furniture upgrade in the living room (a bigger couch and less knick knacks). My husband was not a fan of the TV (no smart TV availability). All in unit appliances worked great.

Cute home in mount pleasant
Cute 2 bedroom cottage. What used to be all over old village. Close to everything - restaurants, beach, downtown. Well stocked kitchen. It was my spouse and me plus 2 dogs stayed for almost a month. Fenced in side yard made it feel larger. I would definitely stay again. There is another house in the backyard with its own fenced in yard. When we were there both tenants were very nice and friendly.

Cozy stay in a cute well-kept home. Nice little backyard area for when the dogs needed to stretch their legs. Nice outside seating area. Best of all was the location! So close to everything. House was a bit small for 4 people and pets, but definitely enough space for my husband and I. We will visit again.

Disappointed
Unfortunately, the ceiling vents had mold, including the surrounding ceiling, which was concerning. The owner was there everyday, which made using the back yard/patio uncomfortable, so we didn't. I wouldn't have booked, had I known.

Great stay in Mount Pleasant
This cottage was the perfect location for exploring Shem Creek and Old Village, walking Pitt street, plus restaurants basically across the street. It was quiet and peaceful and easy to get to beaches and into the city. It was a bonus being able to bring our dog. The courtyard in the back was fenced in and private even though there is another cottage that shares the yard. We will definitely be back.
