Please Refund Our $232 "Service Fee"
Great beach access and local exploration. The property itself is dreadful! The rental is accessible by two long, steep stairs on either side of the house and a narrow, winding stair from second floor to rooftop. The railing for the main stairs is partly overgrown with vines, making it unusable for safety. Inside, dust abounded, floors dirty, table tops (glass and wood) dirty. Debris and miscellany found under furniture. A bedroom drawer contained a half-eaten food item covered with flies. The worn cushions and upholstery in the living room and patio provide no comfort. No laundry room was ever found. The master bath has been updated; the guest bath is deplorable. The sink is mounted in what may be original carpentry of this building. The shelves are rudimentary. Doors are secured by hooks and eyes. Woodwork heavily repainted and needs cleaning. Wallpaper patched with painters’ tape and packing tape. The “shower” here is disgraceful. The “plumbing” is mounted on the walls. If there is hot water, it was not discovered. The corners of the shower were heavy in mildew/mold. Many internal doors do not close properly and/or cannot be secured. The dishwasher has to be moved and hooked up to the sink faucet with each use. Peeling paint layers are visible throughout. Of the 3 or 4 clocks in the unit, none worked. WE REQUEST A REFUND OF THE $232 "SERVICE FEE". Why does VRBO handle this property?

Another wonderful stay
This continues to be a very special place, which I think really exemplifies the peaceful charm and historical nature of Sullivans Island. My second time staying! Excellent location and excellent communication with the property manager.

Historic beach home in a wonderful location.
This home is older with its age showing in a number of places. But it is also maintained with some significant upgrades. The front porch was wonderful with well protected rails/screens that allowed our 4 year old grandniece to play safely. Above the porch was a wonderful roof top room reached with very narrow winding stairs - more narrow than in the write up. But we all made it - some easier than others. The view of the ocean from the top was hidden by trees but was a nice effect, as one a sense of being at the top of the forest. The master bedroom included an updated bath and shower. The other 3 bedrooms were, shall we say, historic. The shared bathroom had three doors which had to be secured using hooks and eyelets when using. That system could use a little updating in that the doors didn't fit tight or were hard to secure. Not a big problem, but frustrating for some guests. The kitchen had been updated as well. Everything we needed was there and handy. To use the dish washer, one had to secure it to the sink faucet so we just washed everything by hand. The main living space was older but a comfortable place for evening story-telling. An large historic buffet near the family table did make moving 8 people around a bit of a challenge. Good Wifi. All the entrance steps (front and back) were solid and safe. The beach was nearby and an excellent beach it is. Even during Memorial Day Weekend, it was busy but not crowded. Overall, a good value for us! 5 stars!

Our father built this house over 80 years ago, and to brag for him, it's survived every storm having lost only two shingles - even the terrible Hugo in 1989!
