Disliked: Cleanliness
The house is older so some of the things that were a little difficult came from the older house. We were somewhat concerned when first checking in how hot and humid it was inside. The property manager explained how we could adjust to the lowest setting of 70. I had 9 people to stay in the 5 br house. Two of the bedrooms were downstairs but what we didn’t know they were downstairs off the frontprorch which would give access to someone from the street unless the front outside porch door was not kept locked. These room would be cooled off by one unit for both the upstairs and downstairs (outside) down some stairs. The downstairs bedrooms two other rooms a sitting room and a TV room ‘s doors had to be kept closed in order to keep them cool from the upstairs unit. The upstairs bathroom was very dirty. The track on the tin was full of dust and debris. The floor were equally dirty and each corner filled with dust. All the furniture was full of dust and rugs didn’t look like they had been vacuumed in a very long time. The kitchen had clean towels out but had holes in the counter next to the sink which was covered up. The garbage disposal would shoot water and debris out when you used it. The refrigerator where you get water and ice was covered in black mold and mildew. And had a leak which we reported. Couldn’t turn the fans on due to them being so high up. The ceiling bulged and looked as if it could fall in. A cleaning charge was made to us but the house was not cleaned.

Comfortable space close to Beach

The property was great for our travel needs. Very comfortable & lived in feel. Not a sterile rental which I appreciated. Lots of books & magazines to read. You like pillows? This rental has them everywhere! My bedroom had like 9 pillows. Sleeping pillows, decorative pillows, embroidered pillows..all the pillows.Also, all the kitchen accessories & serving trays you could ever need. Which was great for our party of 8. The covered porch was wonderful & great for another living space. The downstairs is where I slept. The only thing is that you do have to walk through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom. The downstairs bath is a Jack & Jill, so it’s accessible from both bedrooms. Washer & dryer is accessible via the garage or downstairs area. Quick walk to the beach. Beautiful boardwalk out to the beach. There are beach chairs at the house which the listing said there were none. Close to the restaurants & gas station.Hair dryer…nope. Diffuser for hair dryer…yesI did find the check in process a little bit annoying as you have to go to the rental office. When they could have emailed the door code. I assume it is to make sure it’s not a gaggle of kids renting it. I was just salty after a long travel day.

Great location/cool house

Absolutely loved the house and location. Check-in process needs to be improved. We had to stop at realty office to get code for the door, and added 20 minutes to our trip. Overall, everything was great.

Girls Trip

The location was amazing. Easy walk to restaurants on Sullivan's Island and ocean. There were only 4 of us but the house could sleep many more. The beds were clean and comfortable! There is a lot of 'stuff' in the house but overall clean. There were no eating utensils (at least we couldn't find them). Other than that, kitchen is well stocked. It was a wonderful get away!

Moldy smell/ water damage visible on ceilings

Two out of five rooms are in the basement of the house, next to the garage and have water issues. The ceilings are peeling due to water damage, the shower heads are rusty and the overall moldy smell in the basement and house are not bearable.

Real reviews are hidden

It wasn’t until we had booked the place that I realized people’s *actual reviews* were hidden under the generic ones. Luckily we didn’t use the downstairs rooms as many of the reviews mentioned, the smell of mold was bad & I am highly allergic to it. The cleaning people had managed to cover the musty smell upstairs with a sickly honeysuckle air freshener. Location is great. Needs improvements to make it worth the cost.

Just splendid!!

Our family had the best of time at your place. The place was just steps away from the beach and easily accessible. It was kid friendly. We had a bunch of teenagers as well in our group who enjoyed the most as the house was just setup right for big groups. Plenty of seating areas. Wonderfully furnished. Bedrooms were spacious as well as adequately furnished. It was a wonderful stay overall. The maintenance staff were also really supportive and prompt. We did have couple of minor issues raised and they attended to us immediately. One of those was the unique Dishwasher which needed to be plugged in when needed. Other than that, the house is a second home for anyone travelling to Charleston.

June family Get Away

I love this house. It is like stepping back in time to the house I lived in as a little girl. There were 10 of us and we had more than enough room. We could all go to our own spaces and have solitude if needed. The neighborhood is perfect. The yard is excellent. the screened in porch is a love of mine. We sat out there every night and talked for hours. The kitchen is huge and well put together. We made huge breakfasts and dinners and everyone ate together. The walk to the beach is very easy. Anything you might need ,you will find in this house. I love it. We will definitely stay again next year and this time for longer.

Nice location and home but....

Nice property, plenty of space, location is central to the area and easy to get where you need to go. However, I would recommend investigating some HVAC zoning for the upper and lower floors. Our stay was hot to say the least. From the time we arrived to the time we left this unit hovered at 76-78 degrees and would only drop to a moderately comfortable level of 74 at night but never lower than that.

A guest from North Charleston, SC

2656 I'On Ave Sullivan's Island

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a nice big house, tall ceilings. Quite convenient to the beach and walkable to the little downtown of Sullivan's Island. Very beachy,shells everywhere! It felt as if no ine had been in there for quite some time. Despite the property management assuring me they have very strict procedures for cleaning before guests come, the house was closed up and musty. The last cleaning date was January 14th. We were there on March 5th. The dishwasher was very old and you had to move it, then attach it to the sink, which would have been fine, but we figured out how to do it only to find out it did not work. So I had to scramble to get all the dishes out and cleaned while we were trying to check out. They also ask you to take all the sheets off and pile them by the door. Again, not a huge deal, but for the price, I did a lot of work cleaning on vacation.

Old Sullivan’s Island charm and comfort

Loved the vintage feel and charm of this property. It is perfectly located near the center of the island with many restaurant choices. The home is well equipped and nicely decorated. My family all loved our accommodations and would recommend this property. My recommendations are that the exterior could use a good power washing and some space be cleared in the kitchen for pantry items in the kitchen.

Large entry level house on SI, not clean, not properly maintained

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House rental cost is low because it is not in good shape. Serious maintenance issues exist with house that require IMMEDIATE action to avoid more serious damage. A response to a review on VRBO stated that leaks would be fixed but they have not been. House is moldy on inside due to leaks. Front porch area has many leaks that will soon result in irreparable damage to furniture and expensive damage to structure of house. Entire house smells of mold. House was not clean when we arrived. Fridge had decaying food. Surfaces, counters and floors, were acceptably clean in main areas but baseboards and under beds were quite dirty. Entire house requires deep cleaning. Exterior of house is moldy. Requires pressure washing. House exterior is very unattractive. House has had many low quality repairs but needs proper attention. Duct tape is not an acceptable way to deal with a broken rusted stair rail. I suspect this house will soon be sold, demolished and a new house built on the lot since owners are clearly not able to maintain it.

4/10 Poor

Like camping

On the pro side - the pricing, the decorations, location and size of the rental was fantastic. The appliances were clean, the beds were super comfy, and the kids loved the foosball table. On the con side - the leaks/water damage/mold were unacceptable, the deadbolt lock system is a fire/safety hazard and the electrical system seems to warrant serious attention (ie lack of three prong plugs, sparks when unplugging our griddle.). The listing should mention the stairs for lower level being outside of the house proper (on the porch) would be more accurate. Our guests were unable to enter the house because at night we kept the keys in the locked deadbolt in case we needed to exit quickly (ie fire). Overall, we enjoyed our time on the island and will return, although not to this house. We would be happy to use Island Realty again if you have a house that meets our needs.
