Reviews

The best part was that when we had a hiccup with our original rental the team stepped up and found an amazing home for me and my family and friends. We didn\'t skip a beat and loved the home!

Guest Review

The kitchen was amazing! My son is a chef and it’s nice to bring a personal chef along!

Guest Review

We had the best week at southern whipporpool! We loved the pool and hang out area and how convenient it was to everything!

Family visit

by Sara
The house was incredible. It was the perfect fit for our family and friends. If you rent a golf cart you can drive right up to the dunes on Sixth st. (one street over). We loved it so much we are looking to book again next year.

Guest Review

by Yeager
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. Meals at the house were easy because the kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes and cutlery. Backyard was beautiful. We loved our morning bike rides to the beach and the outdoor shower made it easy to get everything/one cleaned off before going inside.

Guest Review

by Kimberly
The Palmetto Cottage was excellent! Such a cute little cottage, perfect for my entire family. The location was perfect too! It was easy to walk to shops or eat. We definitely will be booking again!

Guest Review

by Mandi
The house was beautifu and had everything we needed! With just a few steps to the beach, and a short walk to downtown, the location couldn’t have been more perfect!
