Stay was amazing, I'd stay again, but I would bring my own pans, those pans in the house I'd consider an embarrassment and would never feed my family off those. I was sad the can opener was broken. Overall for how much it costs the toilet paper and paper towels could be nicer,not trying to complain either just being completely real. I would have so much fun doing a remodel on this house the gorgeous potential it has.

The overall stay was great! It was clean. The pool was a great hit with the family. Wendy communicated very well! The pictures matched the house. Instructions were very clear.

We had an amazing stay in South Carolina! The house was beautiful, spacious, and in a great neighborhood. The proximity to the University of South Carolina was absolutely ideal, especially for moving our daughter in. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, pool towels, and detergent. It truly felt like a home away from home! House was spotless. Wendy was amazing and made everything so easy. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back!

I really wanted to give this a 5-star but we did have some issues with the cleaniness when we first arrived. There were also some items left by the previous guests. We also did have a large roach run out from under the dresser in the master bedroom. We only saw the one and it was on the day we were leaving. Other than that the house was warm and welcoming. Also very close to shopping and restaurants.
