The property was listed as a private pool, but should've been listed as a converted shed in the back yard with a curfew as well as camera's watching your every move. On the plus side it makes a great story.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Sept 2026
When 3 adult women show up for a few nights in a cottage that clearly accommodates only 2, I knew they would have issues. There is and has never been a curfew and we have 3 security cameras for our protection as well as our guests. There is always someone that can't be pleased. See all other normal peoples reviews....

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Christine Meissner

Host profile image
Hello fellow travelers! My wife and I have been living here in Charleston for 10 years and feel it's the best place either of us ever called home. We love hosting to allow others to come and enjoy this island area we have come to love. My wife Christine has been a flight attendant with Delta for over 18 years and recently retired. I have recently escaped the corporate world and do handyman work around the islands to stay busy. We moved here from Atlanta where we lived for over 25 years and wouldn't live anywhere else! There are so many fun things to do here, we never get bored!

Why they chose this property

The property is in a great area on James Island on a quiet cul-de-sac. Just minutes to the beach or minutes to downtown Charleston. You will have plenty of privacy and will enjoy a relaxing atmosphere here at the cottage. You will have a private entrance and plenty of privacy. That's why we have so many couples stay here and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's quiet here, but only minutes to shopping, bars, restaurants and charming downtown Charleston.

What makes this property unique

The property has a pool, sun deck, covered swing bed, fire pit area, and a unique garden shower with lots of privacy.
