A cute small place in a great central location on James Island. We had a nice stay. The cottage has everything needed. We had issues with operating the cooling system but that could have just been user error, I'm not sure. We also weren't bothered enough by this to even attempt to reach out to the owners so I can't speakon response. I can say that we were contacted with check-in info by them and had no issues there. No real complaints and we'd certainly stay again. in the future. ##### L F.
