Perfect

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean, communication was great, it was in a perfect location for walking the area and getting to the water, it had everything we needed, the themed decorations and details were lovely, and everything was labeled for ease of settling in. The only critique we'd have was about the pillows. While the beds were on the firmer side, as others have mentioned, they weren't by any means uncomfortable. As someone who prefers soft beds and easily gets pressure aches in my hips from firm beds, I can say that I slept well on these. However, the pillows were rather thin, which made side sleeping a little difficult. However slim pillows were great for our little kids. Next time we'd just bring our own pillows. We loved this property and will absolutely stay again!

Beautiful House

We loved our stay! The house was super, super clean and cozy. It had everything we needed. The location was great. We were able to visit several different locations that weren't that far away. Had the best grits in the world at "Griddle & Grits" which was within walking distance from the house. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Beautiful Home

Very nice house with gorgeous interior. Had everything you could need. Right next to school with playground, tennis courts and soccer which meant it was a pretty busy location. Could be good for families with little ones. Although everything was nice and clean, the beds were too firm for me.

Just Right for Friends Weekend

We were so lucky to book this house cute and comfortable a few weeks before our birthday friends (two couples) weekend. It just happened to coincide with the first annual Port Royal Mardi Gras parade. It was a treat being able to walk to all the interesting destinations in PR. We can't wait to do it again!

Supercute Cottage

This was perfectly located & everything we needed for a 2 night stay, as close as we could get to MCRD Parris Island for graduation with so much more in close proximity. The coastal vibe was nice, the house adorable, & perfect for 4 adults with every amenity. I highly recommend this rental !

Perfect Christmas in Port Royal

Loved the floor plan and all the accommodations exceptional. I was worried that I would have trouble preparing a full Christmas meal with what is usually provided at rentals, but the kitchen had everything one needed and the quality of appliances and kitchen items- more than adequate. The location was so peaceful. Hope to return in the future. Thank you!

Great Home-Base for Parris Island Graduation

We stayed at London off Paris for my daughter’s graduation from boot camp. We found this house perfect for our stay. It was clean well equipped.and furnished. We were wishing we had more time to stay at the. house. The porch is lovely and would be a great spot for a family meal. The town of Port Royal is very cute and walkable.

Lovely home

Very nice stay despite the weather! Comfy and nicely decorated. Bring your condiments as they don’t have much in the pantry but the home is so close to restaurants, it may not be an issue. Manager was super friendly and accommodating. Overall a great choice for Port Royal!

Loved Port Royal, & great home base for our Bluffton area visit

We typically visit family in Bluffton annually, and stay in that area. Never visited Port Royal, so thought we'd try it. House was very nice, clean, and in a nice quiet residential area across the street from an elementary school. We enjoyed the nearby craft brewery, coffee shop, a very nice Saturday farmers market, and just a few blocks from the house, there's a nature boardwalk where we saw countless birds and other wildlife. Also we really enjoyed sharing dinner with family at the dining table in this home that easily accommodates 6. Would definitely stay here again. Not over-run with touristy stuff, which we really liked.

PORT ROYAL GEM

The property at 1200 London Ave, Port Royal was perfect for our Thanksgiving gathering. The house is in excellent condition and the location is fabulous; the rental company was great to work with. The home was very clean, updated appliances, very nice porch and many large live oaks in the yard and over the porch. Very close to many shops and restaurants--walking distance to most.

Repeat Renter - Always Happy

This was our third time renting this home and we were not disappointed! Everything is always as it says. The home had little refresh touches throughout since our last visit. Home is comfortable and neighborhood is adorable. Walking distance to local restaurants and activities. This home is a winner - clean, cozy, location and amenities!
