It's a great little bungalow that's walking distance from everything to do in downtown Charleston. Perfectly sized for one to two people.

We got to our VRBO and the bedding clearly had not been changed. There was hair ( of all kinds) ALL in the bed. I also saw 2 bugs crawling across the bed!! We had to leave and pay for a hotel at the last minute. Thus making us have to pay for additional Ubers because we were no longer in downtown Charleston which changed our trip completely. Very disappointed. Waiting for our refund.

Great stay at the Blue Cottage

It was a fun stay. We’ve never stayed at a tiny house before and found it cozy and well suited to our needs. Host was attentive and helpful. Check in and check out was easier than any other place we’ve stayed.

The little blue cottage was perfect for our time in Charleston.The kitchen was completely equipped with a full size fridge and everything we needed.The cottage was very clean and tidy.Off-street parking was perfect. One note, the main bed is in a loft with a slightly steep ladder. The ladder was super sturdy with nice wide steps so we were very comfortable with getting up and down.We were very happy with this property and would def recommend it.

Perfect Stay in Charleston

Our stay in Blue Cottage was delightful. The property was as advertised, and totally met our needs. The property managers, Stay Duvet, quickly resolved any minor problems. Highly recommended for anyone able to climb a ladder into the sleeping loft.

Very cute property!

We enjoyed our stay! It was very cute and clean, and the bed was comfortable. For those considering staying, know that it is like a "tiny house;" with compact living quarters. It works great for a couple (as long as they're OK climbing a steep ladder up & down to get to the bed).

Spring break

We had the perfect stay! It was a great space for three girls on spring break. The company stocked up the house which we really appreciated! Any questions we had were answered asap. It was in the perfect area. We also met the owner because he had to touch up the paint job and he was really sweet!

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Cottage. Everything was as described and the location was an easy walk to King Street, particularly enjoyable in great weather! Loved starting the day with the complimentary coffee, a very nice touch. The bed was extremely comfortable, everything was clean and organized. The shower and the sofa felt especially small but it is a tiny home after all! The concierge was also very helpful and quick to respond to my texts. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great little spot!

This space was perfect for 2 people! The space is cozy and the linens and space were incredibly clean! The full kitchen is a definite plus! The only downside was the construction across the street, it shook the whole place! Other than that, the space itself was wonderful! Would return!

The Blue Cottage was very welcoming with coffee, dishes, soaps, and shampoos. It was a smaller than expected space, but cute nonetheless. The couch was not very comfortable, we had to pull it out as a bed to make it more comfortable for movie watching. The loft bed was good even in the tight space upstairs, but note-to-self, don't rent a place with an upstairs bed, loft or otherwise, after a half marathon.

This is a great property for a couple with no mobility issues. Tight shower, ladder climb into bed and a bit longer walk to downtown sights. I would not recommend for 3 people.

Cozy stay!

LOVED our time at the Blue Cottage. Centrally located to the nightlife and restaurants of King St and a short drive from the historic district. We were able to walk to locations for the majority of our stay. Loft bed was very comfortable and a fun twist - keep in mind you'll be climbing up and down to access it. The bathroom is small, but has everything you need! StayDuvet gave our stay a concierge feel. They were attentive to our needs and provided lots of information. Would absolutely stay again!
