Laura was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had all the amenities during our stay. She was very quick to respond and ensured any issue was handled quickly.

Dog-friendly lakefront 4BR house

LaurieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at Vacasa South. The beach was a short walk away and even though it was too cold to swim, we loved beach-combing for shells and other treasures. The kitchen was well supplied and we enjoyed cooking a few meals there. The best feature of the house were the bedrooms each with their own private bathroom. The beds were also very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay at this short-term rental in Summerville! The decor was stunning—every detail felt thoughtfully designed and welcoming. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it hard to get up in the morning. Our kids had a blast in the game area, which was packed with fun activities and perfect for keeping them entertained. The pool was gorgeous and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. This home truly had it all—comfort, style, and fun for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back!

The Tranquil Token:Hot Tub & Ping Pong Table

This place was perfect for our family to rest before finishing our trip to Florida! It's a beautiful home and was very clean. Just keep in mind in the evening a lot of places won't deliver over the bridge apparently so took a minute to find somewhere for food, but dominos was a great familiar option.

Southern Bell Sanctuary - Charleston, SC

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Would absolutely recommend, the girls loved it! The home and host were great! Very clean, spacious, and they have just about everything you can think of in the house. We had a small girls trip and sadly, some storms rolled through and changing our outdoor plans so we spent lots of time in the cozy living area playing games the host provided. The outdoor space is great too, wish we could’ve used it more! It’s a short drive to just about everything and the host even has a recommendations book for the area. Any questions or issues were resolved immediately after contacting the host, she responded within a few minutes of our texts!

Guest House on Johns Island

DerekRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Bianca and Jason really exuded great communication and comfort during our stay. Directions to the Airbnb and what to expect were well exclaimed. My fiancé and I really enjoyed the peace of the dock going towards the marsh. The space itself was inviting, well decorated, and clean. Though the space upstairs was a bit small—considering I’m 6’3–it was still comfortable for a good night’s rest. All-in-all, we are super grateful for the experience that our hosts created for our weekend stay!

Beautiful Charleston Style Home

ErinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is our second time staying at Nick's house. It's such a great space, very clean and comfortable and fully equipped with everything for a great beach trip. The private community pool is a 2 minute walk and was basically like our own pool for the entire week - our kids loved it so much! It's also an easy drive to several beach access points, and we enjoyed the clubhouse and pool there, as well. Thanks so much!

Relax/Spacious Home.Central to Everything! 5 Beds

BarbaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved the unit. The beds were all very comfortable and the hvac was wonderful with zones to control the different rooms of the house. The back porch is nice and large and easily accommodated an extra 8 foot table for us to enjoy the outdoors. We were able to enjoy meals at the dining table that seated our whole party easily. The coffee/tea service and snacks were a nice touch. We would definitely rent this unit again.
