Communication with the host was wonderful. The space and property was perfect for our group of 16!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2021
The Gemstone is a gem! Beautiful bedrooms with most bedrooms having private bathrooms. Living room and kitchen spaces are plenty large and equipped. Only hiccups were street noise, one bathroom sink didn’t drain and dryer did not work but overall good for groups needing easy downtown access. I would rent this space again if needing to be downtown.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Mar 2021
The property itself was very comfortable. We had 11 people from our family and each couple/individual had their own room/bathroom. The front porches were cute to sit out on unfortunately you were sitting facing an ugly wall from another house. We were a little farther from the king Street hot spots (restaurants/shops) but still within walking distance to get there (maybe a mile). The unfortunate part was as soon as we arrived at out check in time, 3:00, there was only one housekeeper cleaning this huge place and so we weren't able to get in until 3:40. We had to sit and wait across the street. Housekeeper said we were supposed to receive a call from Property Manager to let us know but we never received one. Once we were in we realized the air conditioning wasn't working well in upstairs unit so we called a left a message with Property Manager and she never returned our call all weekend. Little things like not having a coffee pot for our coffee maker and only 3 coffee mugs and no frying pan. We found extra pot upstairs and took some of the mugs and frying pan from the top unit but had we not rented the upstairs unit as well, we would have been without a coffee pot/mugs/frying pan all weekend. I think the Housekeeper was doing the best that she could alone for that massive place. But the property manager not returning our call about the air conditioning or even calling us about the late check in is unacceptable.

Great property for the family! We were in Charleston for a family wedding and we rented the house and it was wonderful! Eight bedrooms eight bathrooms were perfect! The only hiccup was the check in process. We weren’t able to check in through the app. Eventually we were able to contact the property manager and the information was texted to us. Other than that, it was great!

"We are a group of up to 16 women ages 30-70 who travel every year to Charleston in December. We have stayed in many wonderful homes but this was by far our favorite! Great layout, every bedroom has it..."
