We have smart TVs with many apps to enjoy.

We give you a code to enter on the keypad a few days before you arrive. You can check in anytime after 4pm. We charge a $50 early check-in/late check-out fee, and can only guarantee we can accommodate it on the day of arrival/check out.

We live locally and are available to assist with any needs that arise. We are always available via message.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Pursell

Host profile image
Originally from CA, I came to Charleston in 2017 after traveling around the US for a few years. Charleston is, by far, my favorite place I've ever lived. I love the history, the nature, the beauty, the architecture, and mostly, the friendly people. Oh, and the amazing food. I hope you love Charleston as much as I do! And if you decide to make it your home, as I did, I'm a local REALTOR, and am happy to help!

Why they chose this property

I raised my family in this home and moved to a bigger space in 2025. The location is ideal, situated right between Downtown Charleston (just a 6 minute drive) and Folly Beach (about a 15 minute drive). It's close to all the fun & touristy stuff. And the food. lol.

What makes this property unique

The backyard. We sit on a quiet creek, where waterfowl abounds. We have a swing, a fire pit, a hot tub, kayaks, a garden, a picnic table, and outdoor furniture for guests to enjoy relaxing on our 1/3 of an acre.
