Four of us stayed at Ric's house for several days while we were at the Charleston Open. The house is in a cute, quiet neighborhood and is convenient to everything: great restaurants and the tennis tournament. The rooms were very comfortable, and the living space was perfect for the four of us.

Great location and excellent property for 7 friends getting together. We ate out but had coffee in mornings and drinks at night at the house. Thankful the living room was larger than it appeared in the pics. I’d say great for families as you can spread out

Charleston city proper was a convenient 15 minute car ride. We did this drive everyday easily. However, first day lunch at Shem Creek in Mt Pleasant. Sullivan Island beach a 10 minute( if that ) ride away. Host very responsive on 2 questions I had while there. Highly highly recommend. Tons of bedrooms which was great.

Our family of 7 adults and 2 under the age of four recently stayed at The Big Kahuna. The house is even nicer than the online pictures, extremely clean and above all comfortable for the whole family. The neighbor is nice and it is located on a quiet cul-de-sac Everything we needed was supplied. We were attending a wedding and it was easy for all of us to get ready at the same time with the three bathrooms. Lastly, it was a short drive to Charleston, restaurants and beach areas.. Thank You, we would definitely stay there again. Don’t miss out on this house!

Nice location and home, but has issues

Nice location, cute neighborhood, house is nicely renovated and decorated. However, there is some pretty substantial water damage in the main area. The owner responded but seemed dismissive of the issues when I asked about a moldy/musty smell. Our stay ended up being fine, but wished we were aware of the water issues before arriving. Also did not get checkin info sent, had to request it from owner on day of. Listing says 3pm but owner said 4pm check-in time. No toilet paper in one of the bathrooms upon arriving. Overall, nice location and house if a few items are addressed by owner.
