Attention Owners Of Units 1-3 F,G & H !!!

Interior repairs in your units are almost finished. Please reconsider any changes and/or upgrades for your villa interior and contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it or by phone at (843) 682-3876 to help us better coordinate finishing your villa's interior. We already have received numerous requests for kitchen/bathroom renovation. We are also receiving calls and e-mails from the owners of building 1, asking if they would be able to rent their villa (in 9 unit building) within couple weeks. Please take a look at the okean side bedroom of unit 1H below and Living room of unit 3H:

As you can see, new drywall is installed and prepared for primer application. The big question is about old panels on the walls. Renovation project will not cover new panel installation nor removal of remaining wall panels. That is going to be owners choise and expense. We need to know owner's decission prior to interior trim installation.

If owner decides to leave interior as it is, just paint new drywall, it will be more complicated for us to install window/door casing, base boards and crown mouldings. It would be helpfull, if home owners could visit their units or request more detailed pictures and info about villa interior and let us know their decission ASAP.

Carpet flooring in all nine units of building 1 is rolled and stored until further notice. Owners who are planing to replace their carpets, please let us know. There is no sence to put back old carpet and then start replacing it.

R-19 Fiberglass insulation installed in all open wall and ceiling areas. Insulation reduces sound and increases HVAC efficiensy.
