A little piece of heaven

March 2022
, Greenwich , Ct USA

Overall
5

You could not find a more idyllic little hideout on Pawleys Island. Beach in the front, salt marsh in the back, and an old brick fireplace to keep you warm on cooler winter nights. Snug, gorgeous wood, Old Pawleys Island charm. And we love the new back deck with doors from the master bedroom that let in so much light. Nothing to complain about except that we could not stay longer.

It was a great vacation enjoyed everything. The roof leaked during heavy rain which was almost every day. There were multiple leaks, 4 that we counted 3 in the living room and one in the kitchen. Gave me concern that there maybe a mold problem.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. The homeowner has been working very hard with the roofing company in our area to repair and replace these spots. It typically only happens when there is a heavy rainfall with wind. There is no mold in the property - all our properties are tested for it regularly due to the high humidity of our area. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation otherwise and we hope to have you back in the future!

Disappointing. Needs a new roof, badly. Spent too much time putting out pots to catch water leaking in, then making sure the kids didn’t trip over them when playing inside. Would not stay again and think we should get some monetary compensation

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. The owner just had the roof replaced over the fall and continues to make upgrades and adjustments to the home. Unfortunately most of the houses in Pawleys Island face leaks when it rains VERY heavily and that comes with the territory of renting classic Pawleys Island beach cottages. Certainly we hope this did not disrupt your stay too much and we hope to have you back in Pawleys Island again in the future! Update: The roof was completely replaced in Feb of 2023.

This is my third year at this property and the 7th with the property management. I love this house’s location and the quirky feel of the house. My one critism is that the living room furniture needs help. The couch is very uncomfortable and one of the chairs broke during my stay. The management team is an absolute joy to work with. They’re always there when I need them and always with a smile on their faces. Very professional.

Loved our stay at the Dingy. Grew up going to this house when it was owned by my Aunt. Only complaint is that I have yet to receive a breakdown for the charges for my stay despite asking twice. My rate was $300/night and given my payment of over $2,000 that equates to $800 in surcharges. Would like to know what those charges are before staying again or recommending it to a friend. Thank you. -John

Once again, we were pleased with every aspect of our October week at The Dinghy. The charm of this oceanfront cottage brought back fond memories of staying on the island decades ago. The house has vintage character along with current comforts of well lit sparkling clean rooms and bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, showers with wonderful water pressure (both indoors and out), and the convenience of an elevator.
The location close to the southern inlet provided much to do, explore, and see on foot: bird and sea life watching, shell collecting, and watching fishermen. Bonus: Sunrise viewing on the Carolina Porch and sunset viewing on the creekside deck.
The owners have carefully maintained their home and Tidelife is always available to make your stay comfortable and convenient in every way.

The Dinghy was rustic but I like rustic. I would recommend updating the bathrooms. The creek side entrance door needed some maintenance, it would not unlock with the key. It rained hard on our 1st day and their were leaks in the livingroom ceiling. My husband would have loved a dock dedicated to the Dinghy to fish from, all the other homes on the street had a dock. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the Dinghy and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay on the quieter end of Pawley's Island.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. The owner has plans to have roof work done to repair the leak. The main front entry is the used entrance for the house. There are several homes on the Island that do not feature a private creek dock but that does not prohibit you from having creek access. We are delighted to hear your enjoyed your stay otherwise and we hope you will come back and stay with us again in the future!

We had a good time but we had problems with the ceiling leaking in the living room in 2 places the cabinet over the sink in the kitchen leaked and we had fleas in one of the bedrooms and some roaches not palmetto bugs in the bathroom and living room.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. The owner has plans to have the roof replaced in the next few weeks so there should not be any further issues. All homes are under quarterly pest control but sometimes if we have a high amount of rain, they will sneak in. We will continue to have the homes sprayed for pests. We hope you will come back and visit with us again in the future!

The little house is seasoned with love, and the description arrogantly shabby fits it perfectly. The furnishings are tired but the house has "good bones" and feels good the moment you walk through the door. My family and I loved our stay, enjoyed the beach, the "Night of a Thousand Candles" and it was a perfect getaway for us. Thank you for sharing your home with us, and Merry Christmas from the Boltons!

Had a wonderful time - first time at the little house. we usually stay at another house. great location can beat the view of the beach, screened in back was nice, house had some problems though. Kitchen sink was leaking and roof - we were mopping up water. quaint little house. just needs a good cleaning. I left a necklace behind, i believe it fell on the bathroom floor; called the office they said they would check on it and no one ever got back to me. that was disappointing. otherwise overall a good family time.

We love staying at THE LITTLE HOUSE. It is like coming home every year and have stayed here since the LITTLES bought the house in early 80’s. The location is perfect with beach out the front door and creek in the back. You can experience sun rise over the ocean and sun set at the creek. A PERFECT house to enjoy the true atmosphere of Pawley’s island. Tidelife RENTALS is the best. Marion Anderson

House is an old one but has so much character! Loved the new creek side decks! Small Bathroom does not have a power outlet? That needs to be addressed!!! Twin Bedroom nearest ocean needs a power strip with multiple outlets,NOT old timey brown extension cords, this was a safety/fire concern for us... Never could locate the fan switch for porch, realty company had no idea either? Shell path pretty but steps to the beach are needed for safety. Soft sand is hard on all ages! We loved the location and the floor plan, the elevator was a must! Knives/utensils hanging on magnets in kitchen were greasy, so need a GOOD cleaning and the rusty heat units in the rooms, a coat of paint maybe? This would certainly make house look cleaner! We hope to rent again, Great location and floor plan!

Enjoyed our stay here. Couldn't have asked for a closer place on the beach. It was great!
My only complaint is when we got there it was extremely hot in the house. It was set at 76 and said "keep at 76". That is way to hot to keep a house when its in the 90's. It did cool off once we lowered the temp but there was no way we could keep it at 76 and be happy and comfortable. The rooms don't seem to have good airflow and were stuffy. They have fans in the bedrooms so we used those. The place could use an updated AC unit. Thankfully the place eventually cooled off in all and we stopped sweating. The house itself was great and the locations is the selling point to this house. I would stay again.

Staff was really nice when checking in!

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. 76 is a desired temperature when the house is vacant - setting below but above 70 is typical when the home is occupied, and our apologies on any confusion this may have caused. We do hope you will come back and stay with us again in the future.

Great house! Great folks at the rental company! Perfect location!

The only complaint we have it is was very hot in the bedrooms at night.
