Lovely spot and great location on James Island. Perfect place to come back to after a day of beach and exploring Charleston. Super easy check in and check out process, and the hosts were proactively communicative and super friendly. Highly recommend!
The cottage off the back of the main house was perfect for my daughter and I. Great host, thought of everything from beach gear to checking in with us throughout the stay to make sure we had everything we neeed!
Like the island location. Easy to travel around the area as close to Charleston downtown, beaches and other islands. Hosts were very helpful and responded immediately when needed.
Stayed here to visit my son who recently moved to Charleston. The space was perfect and within driving distance of many points of interest. It had everything you could ask for. The bed was so.....comfy and the shower was wonderful. The property was very clean. The beach chairs were a nice feature. We will be back .
We loved this stay! It was the perfect spot in between Folly and Charleston. Although we didn't hang around the property too much due to a wedding, it was comfortable enough for 5 people and would have been a cool place to hang and cook dinner. I would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay at this property! The beds were comfortable, it was clean, private and well stocked! It is located right between Charleston and Folly Beach—just a few minutes from either. There is so much to do in this area, and we hope to stay again!
Great and convenient location if you want to split your time between the city and the beach. The host is incredibly attentive. Comfortable accommodations with all the amenities needed for a long stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rental was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped for simple meals, and the unit was clean. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay & the accommodation was really nicer than we expected. It was also very convenient to the things we wanted to visit. Very nice!
Great place! Perfect spot to hit Folly beach, Charleston and Goose Creek Naval base. Quiet place with amenities for outdoor seating as well as community gear to take to the beach. Will definitely be booking again in the future.
Property very clean with an updated decor. Close proximity to downtown Charleston and Folly Beach. Property manager in constant communication leading up to our stay and accessible throughout the duration of the stay. Highly recommended.
The Island Hideout was perfect. It was very clean and comfortable with lots of room, comfy beds and convenient parking. The location was so convenient to everthing you come to Charleston for: the beach, great food, entertainment etc but still tucked into a quiet peaceful neighborhood. David was easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. We will definitely stay here again and recommend The Hideout to others! Thanks for a great stay!
Stay Lowcountry aim to show our Lowcountry guests an authentic Charleston experience that will inspire a sense of love and respect for these beautiful lands.
Most of our properties call the islands home – James and Johns, to be precise. We’ve got others, nestled in cool neighborhoods in Mt. Pleasant and Park Circle. They all offer a unique glimpse into a local's life in the Lowcountry. We think you’ll love it here as much as we do.
