The staff was exceptionally welcoming, accommodating, and helpful. The home is gorgeous and we felt like we were "living the era!" That "feeling" and the view and charm of Battery Street were the best!

Innkeeper Response
We are thrilled to hear this guest overall enjoyed our home and what we have to offer. Our staff attempts to make each guest feel at home and well taken care of. My only regret is this guest did not mention the "mildew smell" while they were here. We would have gladly gone out that very moment and purchased a dehumidifier. But, I will certainly take their suggestion on this and appreciate the feedback. Our pool is professionally cleaned 3 times each week and sometimes more than that. It is virtually impossible to keep it free of leaves since we do have (thankfully!) a constant breeze and there are trees around our pool. Once again, I only wish this had been brought up at the time so we could take care of it for them at that moment. We do try to keep flowers planted year round in our flower beds. We could always do more landscaping as the yard is over a half acre. We do offer a full Southern breakfast each morning consisting of: eggs cooked anyway, grits, bacon, biscuits, toast, muffins, cereals, yogurt and fresh fruit. Once again, we appreciate the feedback and will work on the items brought to our attention.
