Pros: This house is beautiful, immaculate and well stocked! It was, by far, the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. We loved the decor and the comfortable beds. The swing on the back deck is absolutely lovely. We enjoyed watching the alligator in the pond. The walk to the beautiful beach takes just a few short minutes. We are a family of 7 and fit comfortably in the house.
The drive into Charleston is a quick, easy, 30(ish) minute drive. We also found some great restaurants in Sullivan’s Island which is a very short drive away.
Cons: It is not mentioned anywhere, but you need a key to access the closest pool (which is about a 10 minute walk), but this key is not provided to you upon check in. You need to drive into town and pick it up at the office. This isn’t mentioned anywhere and we weren’t told about it until we had our five kids in their suits and had walked all the way to the pool only to find it locked. Once we picked up the key all was well again.
Kitchen chairs are flimsy and uncomfortable.
With the exception of the porch swing, the outdoor furniture is also uncomfortable. Adding some pads for the wicker furniture could greatly enhance the comfort level.
Overall, I am so happy we chose this house for our week in IOP! If we were ever to return, we would rent this house again in a heartbeat!
