    In 60 years of traveling the us this was the worst ever wanted to leave after walking in but husband wasn’t feeling well. No tv in bedroom as previously indicated. No toaster. Tiny love seat felt like springs coming through. No chairs except that love seat yard was a disaster with dead foliage everywhere and trash and children’s toys. Will forever be leery of booking with vrbo no place for microwave so it was on top of frig and I could not reach. Had to hold our plates to eat. Could say more

    Nice, quiet, and safe place for my husband and me to stay while exploring Charleston and the surrounding area. Plenty of parking, a comfy bed, and a warm, good pressured shower made our stay enjoyable.

    The Carriage House was cute, compact, clean and had everything needed for our short 4 night trip. Host was super responsive, caring and very accommodating. The small house was easy to access and we really loved it. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

    Very quiet and quaint accommodations. Stayed for 28 days to visit with family in the area. Host was excellent, friendly, and easy to contact if anything was needed. The mattress on the bed was perfect and allowed us to get a good nights sleep after a long day of caring for aging parents. Would definitely stay here again!

    My husband and I returned to West Virginia from Beaufort, South Carolina to care for my elderly mother for the week. We had a lovely time with her, and when we came home, we enjoyed the cozy cottage that comforted and nurtured us well enough to send us back out the next day rested and reinvigorated Everything from the kitchenette to the TV the Lavish shower off the bedroom and that incredible bed made for a winning combination We enjoyed our stay very very much and hope someday that we may return
