Great location---ok rental depending on your need.

I stayed here over the new year holiday and had a pretty decent experience. What they don't tell you about this property is that it is located above 4 other condos. The people staying below us constantly complained that we walked too loudly. We were a bit disappointed about this as we were a large group (about 10-12 people) and could not control the walking noise. The other problem was that it ran out of hot water pretty easily. Only about 2-3 people could shower before the hot water was gone, so if you come with a group of people, make sure you don't all plan to shower in the same time frame. Overall, the home was pretty clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were all fresh and clean. The view was beautiful and we loved the extended size front porch. As far as the location, on the website they said it was 12 minutes to downtown Charleston, but it was actually 20 minutes. Even so, we still thought the location was prime because it was so close to the beach and within walking distance to good restaurants at Folly Beach. I would rent this property again...but only if the properties below it were vacant.
Owner's Response: Our property is 12 minutes from downtown Charleston if you are traveling at a low traffic time. It is 20 minutes in traffic. We have purchased a larger water heater for the property to accommodate more showers. Our property is described as the Penthouse because it is just that, the top two floors of a building with 3 one-bedroom units below. The entrances for the units below are each separate, they have their own stairs, etc. We have addressed the concern about the renter below complaining of footsteps from above. Evidently this was an older woman who wanted to go to bed early on New Year's Eve. In the future, any noise complaints would only be limited to loud partying from our property, not footsteps. We apologize for the inconvenience.
