Beautiful, large and very Spacious!
Attended Mardi Gras 2024 with a group of friends. We had 8 in our party and this house with 5 large bedrooms was perfect for our stay. Beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to the Strand or a 5 min Uber ride. Beds were very comfy. The house overall was great and we will definitely consider booking again next year. Anybody looking for a place to comfortably house 10 people for a beach vacation or event should book this place.

Poor property management
The smoke alarm battery was dying in one of the bedrooms when we checked in and was beeping. Called Vacasa property management between 2 and 3 pm and they said someone would be out to change battery. They did not come out to change battery and when we returned to the home late that evening it was still beeping and rendered one of the needed bedrooms unusable. Called them again the next day and they finally showed up only to try to hand some batteries to us. This is an old historic home with high ceilings. Bad management and a waste of my time having to call them several times.

Nice overall house but…
The house itself was fine other than arriving and the toilet seat being broken and a broke hinge off one of the kitchen cabinets… the BIG negative was the quality of all the mattresses in the house. Think of your grandmas mattress that’s 50 years old.. no one in the house got a good nights sleep. In addition to the mattress the sheets were of the cheapest quality money can buy and felt like sandpaper… in summary the location was great, the house was fine but the mattresses and sheets were of the worst quality imaginable and we will not book this house again or any property being managed by the same people.

Enjoyed our stay. Would book again.
This beautiful historic spacious home was a great choice for my family of grandparents, adult children and grandchildren. The location was very handy, the amenities were plentiful, Wi-Fi worked great, and all the outdoor wood swings were fun to wile away the time. The listing states the house will sleep 10 people, which it does but there are not 10 drinking glasses or silverware for 10. The pots and pans need to be replaced. Two small dish towels is not sufficient. Written information posted in the house would be very helpful; we hunted for three days to find the trash receptacle outside. If the owners want to keep pests out of the house then it’s necessary to keep the trash out too. Thank you for a great place for my family to spend time together.

Peaceful retreat
A group of six women for a weekend writers’ retreat stayed here and found the home beautiful and spacious. There was plenty of room to visit and also to spend time alone both indoors and out. It is hard to find a genuine Victorian home on the island where the plumbing and electricity work seamlessly but we had no issues. Our only concern was a nail that stuck out of the wood in the bottom floor bedroom that unfortunately dug into an attendee’s foot and not enough towels for six women. I still give this home 5 stars.

Birthday weekend
The property is great! Clean and comfortable. There was no hand soaps in the bathrooms but that’s it. The neighbors light is on all night so curtains in upstairs bedrooms would really help as shades don’t help much to keep out the light. This house is awesome! Though!
