Perfect location, perfect house

We were in Palmetto Bluff for a wedding and stayed at this beautiful property. The location is ideal near the cute shops and great restaurants that Palmetto Bluff offers. Prior to arrival we were in touch with the management team who were so friendly, responsive, and helpful in booking any extras for our stay. They also checked in throughout our stay to make sure all was going smoothly at the property. We had 4 couples staying at the house and had plenty of space to relax and spread out. The bedrooms were all spacious with all king beds which were super comfortable! We didn’t have time to cook but the kitchen was equipped with high end appliances and stocked with everything you would need to cook and dine at home. Overall a great property with a great team running it! Will definitely return!

Great location!

Such a great house and location! Second stay in this house for us and it was great! However, it is looking a little worn inside from wear and tear. I’m sure it’s get rented a lot. Floors, furniture and bedding could all use some updating.
