My husband and I stayed in this cute house for about 5 weeks and it was perfectly outfitted for an extended stay. The location is excellent and gives you all of Old Town Bluffton at your doorstep. We loved being able to walk into town for coffee, lunch or dinner, or across the street to the river for the gorgeous sunsets. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect from the moment we unlocked the door, super clean, comfortable and awesome location with parks, stores, great restaurants and a specialty donut shop close by, many of which are within walking distance. Rachel let us know when the home was ready for us to arrive and made sure we had her contact info in case we needed anything during our stay. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend booking this property!!!

Ideal area to walk. Stroll to the river or into historical Bluffton with little shops. The cottage was perfectly clean and boasted a large kitchen and dining room. Well-equipped with large laundry facilities and modern appliances. Rachael went out of her way for us when we had a particular request. We also really liked being able to park out car in the garage.

This is a lovely, extremely clean property. We are familiar with the area, because our son and his family live there in Bluffton Park, and we come out 2 to 3 times a year from Arizona to see our grandkids. This property is only a couple of minutes away, and close to Old Town.With our adult daughter, who came along with my wife and I, we all found the beds to be very comfortable.The only criticism we have is with the living room furniture. Both my wife and daughter are allergic to feathers, and the furniture were constructed with down, and was problematic for them. I am not allergic to down, but I found the small quills sticking me through the covering of the furniture to be annoying. Other than the down/feather living room furniture, this is a very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located Bluffton property.

Great location, cute house

For access to downtown Bluffton, this is a great house. Less than a ten minute walk to shops and restaurants, even world-class donuts! There is a park across the road. The house is basic but cute. It matches the listing photos exactly. The beds are comfy. Parking is easy in the driveway and communication was thorough and friendly.

We were thrilled to be able to walk to so many great restaurants and shops. Evening walks just across the street to the May River was the perfect ending to the day. The house was clean, bright and well stocked with all the needed essentials. Rachael was a great host... she made check-in and out easy, suggested some great restaurants and responded promptly when a minor issue arose. Overall lovely stay and will definitely request a stay again.

Really loved the location of this property but due to covid 19 we were unable to take full advantage of everything that was offered in the area. We had to shorten our stay by 2 weeks and was accommodated by the owner. We would definitely book this property again in the future. Close to golf courses, walking distance to great restaurants and short drive to the beach. Even with the covid 19 restrictions we were able to do a lot of outdoor activities including renting a kayak for a week.
