My partner and I rented this house for our commitment ceremony. We wanted to have a week-long family vacation that would end with our ceremony and reception in the backyard/on the beach. When rental house searching, we had many expectations for the potential home...
1. It needed to sleep around 12 people (ages 16-36) & have at lease 3 full bathrooms. 2. The interior decor/style needed to be up to date. Beachy, but simple and minimalistic, not gaudy. 3. The backyard and beach access needed to be breathtaking and enough space for the ceremony, which included seating for dinner and a lounge/dancing area.
This house had all these expectations and SO much more. I would not change a single thing about it! There was plenty of room for, not only, our brothers and sisters staying with us, but also our parents who would hang out at the house with us during the day. The location of the house was perfect for relaxing on the beach... It's about an hour drive to Charleston & any other major city for that matter, so it might not be the best place to stay if you are wanting to spend the week doing tourist kinds of things all over. The house was perfect for our ceremony, which included about 25 people. The screened in porch was perfect for the caterer and our candy bar buffet. Under the porch was great for our musician. Though it sprinkled for a few minutes, if it would have rained, our musician's equipment would have been safe. Everyone on the beach was very respectful during our ceremony. All the neighbors sat on their porch and beach goers enjoyed from a good distance.
I would definately recommend this house for small weddings or family reunions! We had an amazing time and our ceremony was beautiful!
