Our "happy place"

We had a wonderful time. The house was in a perfect location for us and tastefully decorated. It was within walking distance to the cypress wetlands, the sands beach and boardwalk. Must go to Maynards for donuts and ice cream!

The home was not only immaculate but also decorated with a high end farmhouse style. From the second I walked in I felt like I was transported into the featured home of an architectural magazine. The owner was clear in communication and was thoughtful in everything that was included for the visit. The surrounding neighborhood was beautiful and walkable through extra hot in July. Overall this place is a perfect haven and was a gift to experience. I would give a hundred stars if I could.

The Happy Place is Amazing

We came to watch our nephew graduate from Marine bootcamp and could not have picked a better place to stay! Quick drive to the base, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. 100% recommend this home to anyone coming to the Parris Island area!

We were extremely happy with our stay. Our son graduated from Parris Island Marines and we were so close to the base we could hear taps being played in the evening. I would highly recommend this home if you are going to Parris Island for Marines graduation or visit.

Wedding Stay

We brought the whole family for a nearby wedding. The house was perfect. Very comfortable and homey. The pictures don’t actually do it justice. Much larger than it appeared in the photos. Very clean and well equipped. Short walk to a number of areas downtown, beach and restaurants. We would definitely come back if our travels take us to the area.

The house did not disappoint. Looks just like the pictures. We stayed for sons graduation from Parris Island which is just a short drive from the house. So it turned out to be a perfect location for us in a nice quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!

Great location

Our stay was amazing. Loved the filtered water pitcher in the fridge… was a life saver. With tons of water bottles to fill up we didn’t have to stand at fridge for long periods of time. Location was great. Their options of where to dine in Welcome binder were spot on. Beds were very comfortable.

Wonderfully stocked, great location, quiet neighborhood.

This isn't just a house, it's a home. They thought of absolutely everything that you need from cookware to supplies, far better than most STRs that we've stayed in. The neighborhood was peaceful and clean, located close to restaurants, coffee shops and not far from beach access. Parking was great, and we loved the ambiance of the huge Spanish moss covered trees.

Mother’s Day Meet Up

The Happy Place is aptly named…the house is exactly as pictured and the location was great! Quiet neighborhood and very walkable to the Main Street of Port Royal! Slight hitch when trying to get in the house, but through no fault of the owner. There had been major storms which caused the power to go out and rendered the key pad useless…but they were very apologetic and came up with a work around so it was fine! We truly enjoyed our stay and the house really is just so cute and welcoming and the perfect size for our group of 5!!Would definitely book again!
