The Isla Suite: A Dream Getaway for Friends
The Isla Suite: A Dream Getaway for Friends
The Isla Suite is a vibrant first-floor retreat in beautiful Charleston, crafted for an unforgettable friends’ group getaway. Positioned just steps from downtown’s premier cocktail bars, top-rated restaurants, and boutique shopping, this property places your group at the heart of the city’s lively scene. Three pristine beaches, perfect for group outings, are only a 15-minute drive away.
The outdoor areas are designed for group relaxation and fun. The inviting front porch is ideal for morning coffee or evening toasts, while the professionally turfed courtyard features a grill, pergola, dining table, and seating, creating a perfect backdrop for group barbecues or late-night chats.
Step inside to a tropical, modern interior tailored for group enjoyment. The kitchen, painted a soothing muted green, is fully equipped with sleek appliances and ample counter space, great for preparing shared meals or mixing cocktails. Off the kitchen, the living room features a table that seats four, ideal for intimate breakfasts or small group game nights. While you’ll likely be out exploring all Charleston has to offer, the spacious living room, with its luxurious leather sofa, is a great place to relax in the morning or unwind with group conversations in the evening.
The suite comfortably hosts up to eight friends across four thoughtfully designed bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a king bed and a cozy reading nook. The second king bedroom includes a desk for planning group adventures. The third bedroom offers a queen bed and additional workspace, while the fourth is a versatile bunk room. Each bedroom includes blackout curtains, small fans, and sound machines to ensure everyone wakes refreshed.
Two well-appointed bathrooms streamline group routines. One features a separate vanity and shower, ideal for shared prep time. The other includes a dual vanity, shower-tub combination, and a premium bidet-equipped toilet for added luxury. An in-unit washer and dryer allow your group to pack light and stay fresh.
The Isla Suite is the ultimate base for groups exploring Charleston’s historic charm, hitting downtown hotspots, or relaxing on nearby beaches. This dog-friendly property welcomes furry friends upon request.
P.S. While tailored for friends’ getaways, The Isla Suite is also well-suited for romantic couples’ retreats or family vacations, with amenities including a Pack+Play, bamboo dishes, and a highchair available.

Great property in a very fun neighborhood - close to restaurants and little markets! And a doable walk to King street area if there are no mobility issues. Owner was very communicative! We stayed there w 2 15 year old boys, my husband and his 83 year old mother.
This is a great location and the hosts are amazing! The home is well-appointed and comfortable for families or girls trips. So many cute coffee shops and restaurants on the street. highly recommend!
We had a great stay and absolutely loved the neighborhood - beautiful, walkable, and close to everything we needed. The space was comfortable, clean, and exactly as described. We spent Thanksgiving here and couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to relax and enjoy the holiday. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’d happily stay again.
My daughters and one of their friends visited Charleston for a long weekend. We had a great time and loved this property! Hosts were great. Would love to stay in one of their properties on our next visit.
We were in town for the Charleston Open & thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was great for walking to dinner & coffee the next morning. The house is beautiful, charming & well appointed. Would certainly stay again!
Great location, super cute and most importantly CLEAN!!
Everything about this place was so great. The decorating was adorable! Location was so close to everything. The owners are very responsive as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit Charleston!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. We were in town for our one year anniversary and loved the accommodations the property had to offer. The interior decorations were stunning.

Designing a comfortable and beautiful home is so important to us! Thanks for your feedback!
Lovely, clean, spacious, well-maintained charming unit on the first floor of a two family house in Charleston. We were 4 people and our dog. Everything was decorated very nicely, clean and well maintained. Location was good - felt like we were pretty central to everything. Ubers are cheap, too. Definitely 5 stars and would recommend to all.
Absolutely loved this place. So well decorated and outfitted with wonderful amenities. Beds were VERY comfortable (so key when you're traveling) and the bathrooms were both newly decorated. Great supplies in the kitchen, which we didn't use, but much nicer than many vacation rentals. So nice to have a washer and dryer, too. Parking can be a little challenging, but we worked it out. Would definitely recommend.
We loved our stay at this great property! The decor is charming and the beds are super comfortable plus the kitchen had what we needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. We were able to step out and either walk everywhere or hop on a Lime bike from the rack just down the street. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved hosting your sweet family for Thanksgiving and are so happy you enjoyed your home cooked meal! Come back soon!
We loved the quaint authentic renovated home we stayed in just a short distance from King Street in Charleston! It was comfortable, and the decor was lovely. We had everything we needed, and Brandy was great to work with!

The location is perfect for exploring. We are so glad it had everything you needed!
Very comfortable beds. Beautiful historic home with the charm of Charleston. Home is close to many attractions. Host is very responsive. Would definitely stay again if coming back to Charleston
The property was as described, very nice and extremely spacious. The unit was well maintained, decorated awesome and stocked with everything you could need. The property was within walking distance of the main shopping and dinning area. This was about a 10 to 15 minute walk to all the action. Brandy was very helpful and provided a wealth of information for our stay. The property is also in a good location for a quick drive to any of the surrounding beaches.
We enjoyed our stay at the Isla Suite. The house was decorated very cute and had everything we needed. The location was near several restaurants and not far from upper King street. We would definitely come back again!
Although just off an occasionally busy road the location was ok, with a choice of coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. Our group of 4 found the kitchen and dining area a bit small but two of the bedrooms were a good size. A third bedroom was a bit noisy with large aircon unit right outside window. Bathrooms were also on the small side but very clean and functional. Decent place for a short stay.

Why they chose this property
This spacious home sleeps 8 and we just LOVE our neighborhood! Tucked back off Spring Street, our home is located walking distance to lots of restaurants and coffee shops (132 Spring, Chasing Sage, Chubby Fish, and Estadio are a few favorites!). By foot, it’ll take you 10 minutes to get to King St. and 20 to get to Marion Square, but of course you can grab an Uber or pedicab. There are also electric bike stations all over the city, one of which is on our block. 15 minutes in a car and you’ll be at the beach!
