Horsepen Creek Cottage

THE BEDS WERE INSANELY COMFORTABLE, THE SOFA BED INCLUDED!! We loved where the location was. It was very easy to find and it was close to a coffee shop and shopping.

We did get confused with the bedding arrangements. The pictures show 2 sets of double beds (bunk beds and separate twin beds). we had 4 kids and the pictures showed a bunk bed(white) and 2 separate twin beds(cherry wood) which we thought was perfect. It did work out as we put 2 on the queen bed in the pullout couch in the living room.

The location is absolutely perfect. 5-10 minutes from downtown, food, and entertainment. For us everything was driving distance, super close to the beach about 2- 8 minutes depending where or which beach entrance you want to go to. About 25 minutes from Savannah River Street. Parking was great at the house. Fit all of us comfortably. It was clean.100% recommend

What I didn't like was that the room doors didn't lock. Especially the bathroom knob does not lock. The house got really hot during the daytime but in the evening it got back down to cool. The deck was a little bit rickety and sketchy with how many people it can hold. It was wobbly.

The house is set up great. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies, dishes, etc. We had plenty of linens, towels, etc. Back yard is fenced in, which was very convenient for our 2 small dogs during our week long stay. We liked sitting on the long pier. The distance to the beach was close in a car.

Unfortunately it isn't such a "walkable" location. We walked to the Quarter and Chu's convienance store our first night but on our walk back to the home we were literally chased by a loose pitbull down the street back to the house. We were terrified to walk the neighborhood again in case the dog would chase us again, as we had a 1yr old child with us, so we drove everywhere. Which meant having to pay for parking each time we visited the beach or shopping or out to eat. Also they didn't tell us beforehand that the thermostat is locked at 70 degrees. The house stayed very hot. I let management know about the extreme inside temperatures. On day 2 they sent out a tech who said they had to order a new filter for the hvac unit. On day 5 they installed it, but during the day it stayed so hot in the house I was worried for our dogs and infant's well being. We bought extra fans, as well as running all celing fans constantly but it was still so hot inside for our entire stay. As much as the rate was they can certainly afford to give more leiniancy with the ac temperature. Also the front & back doors were nearly impossible to shut and lock. Maintenance said they expand due to high temps in the area.
