Amenities were great, close to great parks overlooking Charleston, bridge, and Mt Pleasant. Hosts were always available for questions and suggestions for places to visit, the best!!!!
Beautiful early 60's brick home, spotless, well decorated, and loaded with amenities. New pet friendly fenced yard, and main bath should also be new by the time you read this. Good location, with easy access to all of Charleston. We'll return next time in SC. Love y'all, Lolli-Pops
Such a cozy cottage with everything that you need. Thoughtful attention to details such as TP, paper towels, coffee and such made us feel right at home.
This property was in the perfect location from everything we wanted to do! Nice and cozy. Perfect for my boyfriend, mom and I. We had everything we needed and the hosts made us feel so welcome. Very clean and organized as well. Perfect spot, looking forward to coming back to Charleston.
Kim and Lee are great hosts and their home was exactly as described. They are not only dog friendly, they’re dog welcoming! They have a huge enclosed grassy backyard and have emergency dog food and dog supplies on hand.This was the best “pet friendly” VRBO experience we’ve had.
The location was perfect - close to the beach and downtown. We found some great local places to eat. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. All the beach items provided were awesome.

So happy to hear girl’s trip was a success! Y’all were awesome guests, please visit again!
We really enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of this cottage. It is so nicely decorated with coastal charm, so warm and inviting.The kitchen was nicely stocked. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very understanding that we accidentally packed one of the TV remotes! (We shipped it back!) We will definitely choose this cottage again and highly recommend for a couple or small family.
Hosts were easy to communicate with on questions and made us feel very welcome. Clean and cozy stay and very convenient location to explore Charleston.

Katie, Lee & I couldn’t have wished for a better guest! We hope you’ll visit again!
We are local and needed extra space for family visiting. We were so impressed with the location -quick jaunt to downtown Charleston and Folly beach- and the cleanliness of the home. The owners were fantastic to communicate with, as well. Thanks for a great stay - we will definitely rent again :)
Charming, cozy property with all the kitchen amenities you would want. We are readers so lighting is important to us. This filled the bill. Would definitely stay here again. Loved the beachy decor.
Lee and Kim are possibly the best host I have ever experienced. We experienced a small bump during our stay, in which they responded very fast and efficiently to fix the issue. The house itself has a very cozy/warm feeling. During our stay it was 4 adults and the house was a perfect fit, not too big and not too small. It was the perfect distance from Folly Beach (13 minutes) and downtown Charleston (17 minutes). I would highly recommend this place if you are not wanting to stay in downtown Charleston but want to be close. They have beach towels, sand toys, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, a couple of coolers and some life jackets for kids. Which is wonderful considering those are things you may need or want when going to the beach but if you fly to Charleston you wouldn’t bring with you. They also have extra shampoo, conditioner, and body washes in case you forgot or run out. Lee and Kim have seriously thought of everything you may need when staying here. They have plenty of kitchen utensils if you are more of a cook at home person rather than eat out. Lastly, my dad was using crutches during his stay and was easily able to get in and out of the house and around the house. That was a huge thing for my family when booking this VRBO was wanting to find a place that would be easy for someone to get around with in crutches but not too far away from everything we were planning on doing.
