Prime location. However no flexibility with move-in or move-out times which is annoying especially for the high ticket price with CRAZY ancillary/add-on fees.

Family Wedding celebration

Great place! Lots of room for each family member to have their own space / bathroom. The house was very well equipped and the managers were GREAT! Always got back to us with quick answers and were very accomodating to our family's special needs. Loved the bakers next door! Highly reccommend this home and these managers! Thank you all for a great experience! L Brown

Good but a bit of a squeeze

I liked the neighbourhood and the house was very nicely done - the decor, bedding and useful kitchen and we slept well (despite very little sound proofing between floors) but it was a bit cramped with 8 of us and the table only sat 6 at a push. The pool again was not big but nicely done and well heated. Overall we had a good time.

Fun with Friends

The location was AMAZING, pool was AMAZING the house was AMAZING. the only recommendation I would have is to put a King bed in the back “primary” bedroom. We were not able to enjoy that bedroom for that fact. Disappointing because that is the biggest bathroom. Wonderful memorable vacation

Great House near King

It was a great location to upper King Street for some restaurants & shopping walking distance. Check in process was easy and even able to get in a little earlier. Communication was prompt if we had any questions. The pool was heated but wish we had more towels. The sofa bed was really comfortable! Overall a cute house in a great location.

Girls Trip!

The Sugar Sweet House was just perfect for the 8 girls during our getaway. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms everyone was very happy. The heated pool was our favorite. Gorgeous place to stay. Restaurants and shopping are walking distance. Loved the entire area.

Wedding Weekend

We chose this house to stay four nights while in town for our daughter’s downtown wedding. The house was spacious and very well stocked. We had more than enough room. We were able to walk most places and had no problem parking on the street in front of the house. We actually never moved the car. It was easier to walk or Uber where we needed to be. The heated pool is amazing. I wish we would’ve had time to enjoy it. I recommend this house and would stay here again.

Outstanding Property

The house was in a great location, having all the charms of an old building, while also being completely updated. Having a private pool on the property made it a 10/10. The host was very responsive.

Love This Rental

Great location. Fabulous pool. Beautiful home. Extremely comfortable beds. Very responsive property management with great communication. The only minor thing to call out is that the upstairs is much warmer at night than the downstairs. Would definitely rent again.

Great house and great location!

We rented the Sugar House for our family of 4 and our 2 golden retrievers and there was so much space for all of us it was great! Lots of bathrooms tucked all over so nice. All updated (a little DIY but not bad) and kitchen/bathrooms well-stocked. Exceptionally clean. Did not get to use the pool it was a little too chilly out. Loved the Sugar Bakery right next door (almost attached lol) best oatmeal raisin cookies ever! Lots of great restaurants of all sorts within walking distance. We had a great afternoon walking down King St (only a couple blocks away) and shopping and stopping in a couple lounges for cocktails. The Charleston Market is a hike but we made it down there and took a pedicab back. Super easy to get around the whole town from this location. Would rent again!
