About this property

Bright & Cheery Bungalow - Mins to Downtwn Fort Mill

We are thrilled to welcome you and your fur babies to our delightful 3 bedroom and 2 full bath 1300sq/ft bungalow just minutes from charming downtown Fort Mill with all its old school warmth, vintage vibe, cafes, boutiques, taverns, golf, live music, parks, and churches. The perfect sweet retreat at the end of a day of sightseeing, celebrating with family and friends, after the big game, or once you’ve nailed that business meeting or a new job.

Watch the sun come up on the front porch with your coffee; relax in the cozy family room with a movie, book, or laptop; enjoy a glass of wine or sweet tea at the kitchen island as you chat about your day or just relish the quiet. This is your home away from home. Make it yours.

Less than 16 miles from downtown Charlotte, 21 miles from Charlotte Douglas Airport, and just a hop, skip and jump away from cafes, boutiques, live music, breweries, fine and casual dining, hiking, cycling, professional sports events, vineyards, malls, antiques, lakes, rivers, mountains, and countryside. The Bungalow is located in one of Fort Mill's more vintage neighborhoods with quaint front porches, rocking chair visits, and neighbors who have lived there for generations. Some of the homes are being lovingly restored and some are just well-loved. Be sure to wave to the neighbors as you drive by or as they walk past your front porch.

(This is not a highly affluent neighborhood although Fort Mill does have those just around the corner. We want to be sure to be upfront about that as it does matter to some people.) This home has been very well managed & listed on Vrbo for 2 years under previous owners with 5-star reviews and never a safety issue. We have managed it personally for 4 years as of June, 2025.

We welcome all Military w a 10% discount. We are so very grateful for your service and sacrifice.

Pets w deposit. Fully-fenced backyard.

This was perfect for what we needed-pet friendly, bedrooms good size, clean, parking, outdoor space. If you’re someone that needs the Ritz, this isn’t your spot, but if you don’t mind a few imperfections on the DIY reno this will be great. Courtney was a great host and very upfront with the information posted.

The bungalow is truly cute and cheerful! We loved the fact that everything was very thoughtfully laid out. Everything in the kitchen was an excellent working order. It was cold during our stay in Fort Mill, but the heat was really comfortable and there was plenty of hot water when we needed it. A couple of mornings there were deer outside along with bunny rabbits rabbits and plenty of squirrels. It was nice and quite very relaxing. Recommend highly. It is an older neighborhood and it appears that many of the homes are being renovated. That being said there was never any noise at all day or night.

Comfy and cozy

This home is very clean and well appointed, the beds were comfortable not too firm not too soft, but just right. There was plenty of room for eight of us to stay together for a long weekend away from the daily grind. The host was in touch with us and made sure we were taken care of. We would highly recommend this home to anyone without hesitation.

Awesome Stay

The only thing we had an issue with was the height of the shower head in both bathrooms. I’m 6’3 and my father is 6’1 and we both agreed that we were having to squat down a good bit to be able to wet our heads lol. Other than that, the property is very nice and the host is great as well.

Attention to detail

Great stay. From water in the fridge to welcome cookies to shampoo in the shower the owner showed attention to small things that make a stay great. Thank you She mentions that the front door sticks a little, get you shoulder ready, it sticks a lot…

Thank you so much for that feedback, Mark. It doesn’t actually stick that much except I ran the extension cord for the front porch Christmas lights under the door and it caused more of a challenge than I originally envisioned. Yikes! So pleased you like our “little touches” - means so much that you both noticed & appreciated them. You left the Bungalow in pristine condition for us - what a Champ!!

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Mar, 2025
Carla, I am quite stunned at your negative review. You emailed at 5:30am demanding the code that had previously been provided via Vrbo. You then arrived over 2 hours early without a request or prior-permission and did not apologize when I reached out regarding this. Throughout your stay you gave me fantastic positive feedback, complimented me on providing your favorite coffee in our welcome basket and praised the cleanliness & comfort of our bungalow. Prior to departure you advised everything was wonderful and you hoped to stay again. You then asked for my personal phone number so you could visit again without paying the extra fees. A few days later you reviewed your stay with the lowest star-rating I have received in 4 years of hosting and said it was about the neighborhood. Prior to booking - I ask & require that all potential guests read the property location details and agree to them in order to avoid any false expectations or disappointment. You either did not read these or you chose to review me poorly for some other reason. As a 1st time Vrbo guest - I did all that I could to make your experience with Vrbo a success and your request to maintain a personal relationship with me suggests you were more than satisfied with your visit. You have since refused to acknowledge my attempts to seek clarification on your review. I would hope in the future you would consider your actions and how they effect those of us doing our best here to provide excellence in all that we do.

Great location- easy access to everything. The host is wonderful and very easy to work with. I'm glad I read the other reviews about the neighborhood prior to booking because I was prepared- had no issues with neighbors, they waved back when we waved, and I'm sure they're lovely people.

Nice bungalow!!

Our recent stay was very pleasant. Courtney was extremely helpful and responsive with any questions we had. The bungalow was very clean and homey and our kids settled in nicely picking their rooms as soon as we walked in the door!! It felt like home away from home even though we were displaced due to a water leak in our own home. Courtney takes pride in her property and it most definitely shows!! I would highly recommend this property to anyone needing a place to stay. You will not be disappointed!!

This bungalow was squeaky clean, beautifully decorated, and lacking for nothing that we needed for our comfort and convenience. Little extras included water bottles in the fridge, a basket containing coffee, donettes , chocolate and a candle. The enclosed yard was perfect for the dog.

Great house in a convenient location

The house has a ton of room and plenty of sleeping space for a large family. Amenities that we appreciated were the large backyard, washer and dryer, and off street parking.There are many options within walking distance (1 mi) including CVS, WalMart, a large park, a coffee shop, a donut shop, and all of the shops and restaurants in downtown Fort Mill.Courtney was a very responsive and incredibly thoughtful host.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Smith

Host profile image
I grew up in the Midwest, studied Finance & Real Estate in Colorado, and ended up in New Zealand for 19 years followed by 5 in SoCal and a recent move to NC. When the picket fence didn’t eventuate, God decided a passport was a fair trade and I have traveled extensively over the last 25 years. I initially traveled alone but then shared my journeys with my 2 sons who have learned to treasure memories over material things. If I’m not traveling, I’m reading, learning, drinking coffee, or building an empire in my head. Sometimes all at the same time.

This Vrbo bungalow is my 1st and my son, Journey, and I are working together as a team to create something special to share with our fellow adventurers & dreamers. We are fixing up our 2nd one not far away and hope to build a legacy for our family for generations to come.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with us! And your suggestions. We plan to never stop learning.

Live Blessed!
