5 Stars!!
My mom, sister and I had a fantastic experience with Duvet! The company was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to check in early, which really helped us start our trip on the right foot. Their responses were always prompt and helpful, making communication a breeze. The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. Highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking for a smooth and enjoyable stay. We would definitely return!

We had the best stay in Charleston! The house is just as adorable as it looks. Very very clean! Extremely prompt and reliable communication with property managers (which wasn’t really needed). The neighborhood is very cute and walkable to everything. We did rent a car for convenience, but it was definitely not necessary unless you’re planning to leave the city. 10 out of 10 recommend. Would definitely stay again.
