'WAY SOUTH OF BROAD' - SECOND ROW MARSH HOME ACROSS FROM OCEAN

We thoroughly enjoyed this home! My family and I, 3 generations made up of 6 adults and 6 children, found this house to be spacious and accommodating. The house was well equipped with almost everything we could want or need during our stay. Everything was clean upon arrival. The views of the marsh, Morris Island light house and Ravenel Bridge from the back porches were incredible. You do not get much of an ocean view, but we almost didn't care. There is a small front and back yard that was perfect when the kids wanted to play outside when we weren't out and about around Folly and Charleston. Nice, quiet location. We definitely recommend this house!

Our family stayed at "Way South of Broad" for a recent spring break, 2011. It has a nice floor plan with great views. We did not feel it was as clean as it could have been and in fact the outside of the property was down right disgusting. Upon our arrival, we found all of the recycle bins and garbage cans on the curb and full. Come to find out from the neighbor that the garbage pick up was the that morning we arrived. So needless to say we had to move the cans from the curb and have no where to put our trash. There was a half bag of garbage that I picked up from the ground below the house, near the stairs, and very unsightful. Including a soiled pair of underwear and diaper in the outdoor shower. Not a welcoming first impression. Inside, it is in dire need of fresh paint and a thorough cleaning. Things were particularly dusty and grimy. Unfortuately, after two emails we have yet to hear from her and it has been two weeks. I've been expecting a phone call with some sort of explaination or apology which hasn't come. That is rather disappointing at this point. I've hesitated to call, not knowing if it would result in anything positive. Some sort of partial refund on the cleaning charges? Or an explaination of the outdoor appearance? I guess if I were the owner I would promptly contact the renter after being emailed and try to address their concerns. Under these circimstances, I would definitely not recommend this property to any of our friends or family. Charleston is a wonderful city which we have visited before and I know we will return to.

Way South of Broad is a beautiful beach house. Thanks to the owner for allowing us to stay at the house. While we stayed there we had a beautiful wedding on the beach. The beach house was gorgeous, and I do plan to go back to re-cherish the time my new husband and I shared there. The owner was kind enough to allow us to have a small wedding reception at the house. It was perfect. Plenty of places to eat and sit. There was enough space, and the kitchen was great to prepare the wedding reception food. After the wedding my husband and I enjoyed the walks on the beach and downtown Charleston. Loved the sunsets across the marsh while lounging in lounge chairs from the screened in back porch. I will never forget the beauty of the beach house. I shared a great occassion with my family and friends while I stayed there. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND WAY SOUTH OF BROAD! :o)
