April 2026We had a great experience with this rental. The location was excellent, with an easy walk to the beach and fantastic restaurants at St. Armands Circle. The outdoor space was peaceful and perfect for enjoying morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The area was beautiful, and we really appreciated having bikes available as well.

March 2026The retro style was fun. The outdoor facilities comfortable. There are beach chairs, umbrellas and other beach needs available. The unit was very clean when we checked in. There is easy, dedicated off street parking. The beach is a block away. St. Armand's is an easy walk away. The host is very responsive and friendly.
