You’ll have the entire space to yourself — no shared spaces. Parking on left side of double driveway is available directly in front of the home for your convenience.



🕊️ Other things to note

We love making guests feel at home with Southern hospitality — from small welcome touches to local recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and things to do.

I give guests their privacy but am always nearby if needed. I’m happy to share local recommendations or help with anything that makes your stay more comfortable — just send me a message anytime!

Welcome to laid-back James Island, where locals slow down, neighbors wave, and beach days blend into easy evenings. This quiet, safe neighborhood offers the best of both worlds — just 10 minutes from downtown Charleston’s historic charm and 10 minutes from Folly Beach’s surf and sunsets.

You’ll be surrounded by the local favorites that make Charleston special — cozy coffee shops, fresh seafood spots, and Lowcountry breweries tucked among oak trees and Spanish moss. It’s the kind of place where you can start your morning with a walk at James Island County Park, spend the afternoon exploring downtown or Folly, and be back in time to unwind on your patio under the stars.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, local experience that feels more like home than a hotel, this is it — a peaceful island retreat close to everything you came to Charleston to enjoy.

We had a great stay! Smaller half of a duplex but the right size for the two of us. Convenient to the working half of James Island and a short drive to the connector. John is a wonderful host and would strongly consider staying again.

The property was very clean and had nice amenities (full size refrigerator and microwave in the kitchenette). The host had local treats and bottled water for us at check-in and a stocked coffee bar. Very cute! Also a good location, 10-15 min drive to downtown and Folly Beach. Easy check-in and check-out.

Excellent little VRBO!!! If you are in the Charleston area ad want to be close to everything like the beach, all the attractions and Market St. Restaurants, then this is the place for you. Quiet neighborhood with no traffic is a plus after running around the city. The hosts were excellent. You can't go wrong with this place.
