The house was in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of many restaurants, which was nice. The home itself was old, but everything was in working order. The one bathroom was teeny tiny. The fenced in yard was why we ultimately chose to rent this property. However, upon arrival we learned we had to share the yard with another rental property and that dogs were not allowed to urinate on the grass. This meant instead of being able to just let our dogs out to do their business, we had to put them on leash, make sure the other renters on the property were not in the yard, and then walk the dogs to the courtyard area of the fenced yard so they could do their business on the wood chips. We stayed for over a week, and so did the other renters on the property, so this became pretty inconvenient. If we had known we would be sharing a common space with others in a fenced in yard that the dogs were not able to roam free in then we likely would have chosen another property for our stay.

Cute little cottage, conveniently located! We enjoyed our stay - do wish there was more grass on the property for the pup, since it is asked to not allow dogs to urinate on the grass inside the fenced yard.

Great house and great location. Only issue is that back yard is a shared space with a separate studio rental. Would have not been an issue with me personally if it were properly outlined and communicated in the listing. This is not outlined in the listing description and was not communicated until we received the keys and check in info just days before the listing. Everything else with the house was great.

Great location, easy check in, and parking right by the front door! Unit is a workin in progress, needs attention in the bathroom such as towel bars and maybe safety grab bar in the shower, shower fixtures need updating with maybe the addition of a hand held shower head.Both bedrooms were great and well supplied with great linens. The kitchen was well appointed, however, could use updated set of complete flatware.Any of the deficiencies are out-weighed by the location!

We came in town for a little league baseball tournament at Shipyard Park. This location was perfect, not too far from the park and many great restaurant choices nearby and in walking distance. The house itself is super cute, not too fancy, but everything you need with a great little backyard. Communication with the owner was perfect and we had no issues at all. I would recommend this rental. We had 2 adults and 2 small dogs.

Great place. Exactly as described. Great location too. Many activities were easily walkable and easy quick drive to the beach and downtown. Great communication with host. We would definitely stay here again.One suggestion would be to have beach towels/chairs for guest use. I think this would be a nice perk and added bonus, but would stay here again regardless.

This was a perfect stay for my husband and me. Is as quaint and lovely as the pictures show. So conveniently located to Shem Creek and lots of fantastic nearby restaurants there in Mount Pleasant. You can easily get to Charleston, although Mount Pleasant was wonderful in itself and this little cottage was even lovelier. Highly recommend!
