3 BR Non-Smoker House w/Marsh & Sunset views

WhitneyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful location. Close to Folly beach and charleston but so quiet and serene. We used this as our home base for a 40th birthday trip and had a lovely time. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms spacious and luxurious, outside spaces beautiful. Google maps didn’t have good directions to the house but the host sent them to us ahead of time. It’s next to two houses but it’s still quiet with a great view of the marsh. It was the perfect retreat for the area.

Sonny's Marsh Shack!

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

There was a snafu upon checking but I reached out to Oliver and he immediately responded and corrected the issue. He was very responsive anytime we reached out. The location was great and all the amenities kept the kids and us busy while at “home” which was nice after a long day. Us adults could relax while the kids didn’t feel like we were just wasting our vacation doing nothing. The provided bug spray saved our lives while outside, so thank you for that. 10/10 Would stay again! Thank you for sharing your home with my family.

This place felt very at home and cozy, I can’t express how child friendly the space was. The downstairs bathroom with the bathtub was AMAZING. The water pressure in the showers was fantastic. The view was beautiful in the backyard and everything was pretty well maintained. I would definitely recommend this stay especially to anyone who has children

Toogoodoo Camp

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I can’t say enough good things. You won’t want to leave. This kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The outside space is amazing. My only regret was not staying for longer. The 3 chickens are so friendly, they followed us everywhere like a little pep squad. We especially enjoyed coffee out at the marsh. My Apple map GPS is a little off on the address. If it’s on the left, just go a little further up the road. If it’s night, you will see the beautiful tree lights to know you are “home.”

Had a great time over the weekend that me and my girlfriend stayed. The river was beautiful and the property was very peaceful.
