Charleston Bachelorette Trip

We loved our stay at this house! It was just as advertised, fully stocked with all the basic essentials, and the decor was adorable! Easy check in and check out. We hosted a bridesmaids brunch in the backyard for my daughter and her bridesmaids- the newly added deck was so nice and the trees gave us much needed shade. The kitchen had everything we needed, even spices, trash bags, and serving pieces. Comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking space.

We had to book this house the night before we flew into Charleston as our previous home canceled on us last minute. What a pleasant surprise this house was. Lots of comfortable spaces for people to hang out and socialize. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. There is a super cute market at the front of the community. Dog friendly, younger crowd with kids in the area. Quiet at night, not noisey, no road traffic or anything that would keep you up at night. The location was perfect. Close to Park Circle, which had a bunch if little restaurants and places to hang out. It was also a straight shot into downtown Charleston, no bridges required. I could go on and on about thishouse and location. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect and sweet

We needed a place in Charleston to visit our local family that gave us the flexibility of cooking and bringing our furry family members. It was a beautifully furnished, well located home with a fully stocked kitchen to cook in, ample seating and a lovely back yard. Excellent location near shopping and restaurants.

Great stay, Great location

We had such a great stay. The location was so convenient. We could walk to restaurants, coffee shops and breweries. Driving downtown was quick and easy (15 minutes). We even got in a beach day making it to Folly Beach in just 30 minutes. The property was clean and nicely renovated. We loved the wood floors and comfortable beds. The house comfortably sleeps 6 but with an air mattress and couch our kids were able to squeeze in rounding out a 9 person stay.

Perfect family home

Well supplied kitchen to make meals for my kids. Fabulous location to enjoy the Avondale area, near to folly road for beach access and downtown. Very walkable to shops, coffee, breakfast and wine bar. Home was super cozy, comfortable beds and pillows. Internet access was great and streaming TV options. The host even made the home available for early checkin and supplied bathrobes in the bedrooms. We plan to stay again when we visit next.

About the host

Host profile image
Hey y'all! My name is Steffi and I love to travel and immerse myself in new cultures. Born and raised in Charleston, SC. I studied Hospitality & Tourism at the College of Charleston and it has been my dream to host you at my rental! My home is the clean, relaxing, Low Country experience you're looking for
I was born and raised in Charleston SC where I taught sailing for 8 years. Being raised in Charleston I was spoiled to be surrounded by great fishing, seafood and restaurants. I am now captain of a yacht experiencing other parts of the world. Being in the yachting industry, as well as a Hospitality major at the College of Charleston, has refined my host guest experience. I am confident my home with have everything you need whether you are in town for business or pleasure.

I have created a Welcome Binder that includes my Charleston Guidebook from a Local's Perspective. You will find this leather binder on the coffee table as you enter the home. This should provide answers to any questions you may have during your stay about the home as well as things to do around Charleston including; beach tips, seasonal activities, & restaurant favorites with printed menus to browse. Feel free to reach out to me via text or call if you need anything during your stay. Additional cleaning and/ or linen changes during your stay are available for an extra fee upon request.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy this recently restored southern historic house just steps from the heart of eclectic Avondale, filled with restaurants, a great local coffee shop and local brewery. Avondale is centrally located, steps from the West Ashley Greenway, only a short 8 minute drive to downtown Charleston, 20minutes to Folly Beach, and 15minutes from the Charleston International Airport

What makes this property unique

Front porch breeze, sippin' sweet tea lounging on rocking chairs? You have found your sanctuary in Charleston, SC. Open the front door to an open concept Charleston skinny/shotgun style space. The living room greats you first, as you continue to walk there is a reading nook or game space for kids, continuing on the dining space has a 6 person dining table and at the back of the house is the kitchen. Make yourself at home, as you're prepping game snacks in the kitchen you can still be apart of the action in the living room (and watch the game from the new smart TV). Along the other side of the home are the 3 bedrooms, all named after our local Charleston beaches; Isle of Palms, Sullivan's island, and Folly Beach. Between the Isle of Palms and Sullivan's island bedrooms is a Jack N Jill bathroom. Here you can appreciate the old charm of the home with the original vanity cabinet and trim work. The wooden floors are also original to the home, which gives the most character and beauty throughout. The primary bedroom is located in the back of the home and overlooks the back yard. Attached is the private bathroom with a double vanity, and water closet for added privacy. Lastly, from the kitchen, exit the back door and enjoy the back deck and fenced in back yard space. Only a 2 minute walk anywhere in the eclectic Avondale
