    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented this lovely home for my goddaughter and her bridal party for a weekend of fun. They absolutely loved the house from the minute they entered. Each day, they walked to local shopping boutiques and fabulous restaurants, such as Catch 109 and Redfish. Also in the evening, they enjoyed walking over to Rock the Docks, a dueling piano bar, and to Jacks for a little dancing. In addition, they loved the location to Beaufort for more shopping and restaurant dining. The home was perfect for the six girls! They also commented that their communication with the property manager, Heather, was on point! TY!
