Nice house in North Central Charleston

We enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable, well-maintained and well-decorated. Our host was prompt in getting back to us and helpful. The neighborhood is very interesting and we enjoyed being out of the Charleston hubbub. Nice restaurants in the neighborhood.

Beautiful house and close to restaurants and shops.

We absolutely love this house. So quiet and relaxing. The beds were so comfortable and the sitting area allowed us to enjoy time together as a family. Pierre and his wife were so kind to offer my husband chilled aloe when my husband got sunburned. We will be back.

Pelican Hideaway review

Super clean, hosts were very friendly. Smallish eating area. Bedrooms and baths all excellent. Kitchen could use a few more utensils and pots for cooking. But who cooks while in Charleston? Great location, close to downtown - everything. Thank you for a lovely week!

Lovely Property

I found this lovely hidden gem by accident. Very nice remodeled apartment in a nice neighborhood, not too far from most tourist attractions. One bedroom is a crow’s nest, and the other on the ground floor. It worked perfectly for us. THE BACKYARD AND DRIVEWAY are the epitome of everything we wanted. Stay here….look no further.

Few days in Charleston

Spending a few days in Charleston with my daughter and her boyfriend and really enjoyed our stay. Off the beaten path and close enough for us! The property was nestled in a quiet neighborhood, perfect to be close enough to see all the sites in Charleston and have time to unplug and recharge away from the hustle and bustle. Very welcoming, clean and has all you need to be comfortable. The hosts were very attentive and responded to questions quickly. We were very pleased with our stay and would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Hi there, we just wanted to tell you a little bit more about us. We have lived quite a transient life between the US & France. Eventually, we made out way to Charleston. With a mutual love of food, wine & the beach, it really is the perfect spot! You may hear our little Shiba Inu pup or spot our bunny on the porch as we live just in front. Please reach out to us if you need anything at all and we hope you have a wonderful stay!
