From the description on the website to the property itself, this place needs work.
The property does not overlook the Atlantic Ocean. It faces the Edisto River. The southern end. During high tide, you cannot walk to the ocean along the river's beach. The view is beautiful from the windows in the living area, but it is of the river. We only booked the place because the description notes it faces the ocean.
The open living room and fireplace are gorgeous. I walked over to run my hands over the facade of the fireplace wondering if it was ceramic or wood. The side of the mantel had cobwebs on it, and the top had dust and dead bugs. This property is rated high for its cleanliness. If so, I shudder to think what those on VRBO look like that are not.
I found ants around the sink in the master bathroom. No food was taken to the master bedroom. I could only surmise they liked the smell of toothpaste and came to investigate.
The mattresses need to be replaced. A guest from February 2021 noted this issue. Since I found the problems with the dust, I wondered just how clean the bedspreads were. Another guest from April 2020 noted that the inside of the dishwasher was dirty. That not all of the settings worked and didn't clean the dishes. The inside of the dishwasher door and bottom rack looked like it was covered in mold.
The outdoor furniture was covered in bird poop. I cannot say that this issue happened after the property was cleaned, but with the other problems, I doubt that was the case.
I enjoyed the quiet setting. Walking to the river, the sunsets, and the large accommodation. The couch in the living room was the only newer piece of furniture in the house. Very comfortable. The chairs were not. I appreciated the chairs had ottomans to rest my feet on after a long walk along the river bank.
The placement of the bed in the master bedroom is flawed. It is opposite the wall that has a row of windows across the top. The wall is on the east side of the house. Those windows are not tinted nor do they have automatic closing shades to close off the light at night. In the middle of the night, the moon shone right in my face waking me up. I do not get up at dawn every day, and I would never do so on vacation, but again, the light shone on my face waking me early every morning. Put the bed along the short wall of the stairs.
We will not book again, due to the incorrect information in the listing and the other issues we encountered.
