Cozy and casual with all the comforts of a beach cabin, just not on the beach. Private feel with easy access to Folly Beach and downtown Charleston and the airport. Great place for a family vacation with 2 rooms and bath, nice layout. Really enjoyed our time here! Thanks Kit!
Kitchen was fully equipped and functional. I would suggest adding some dry creamer to the coffee supplies. We enjoyed having breakfast out on the deck. We would do it again
The place was clean and well equipped. It had a lovely patio and yard with fire pit. It was a great location for accessing Folly Beach and McLeod Plantation which is well worth the visit for Gullah history. It was also easy access to everything in Charleston, and relaxing to return to after a long day.
The house is so cute, well decorated, and had everything we needed. I loved the location - quick drive into Charleston and a quick drive to Folly Beach, but out of the hustle and bustle. I wanted to use the fire pit, but couldn't make it happen. It is very inviting though! I would absolutely recommend staying here!
We had a great stay here! Very clean and comfortable, and the host was easy to work with. Walkable or a very short drive to some great bars and restaurants. Will definitely book again!
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. Good proximity to downtown but away from the hussle and bustle. Walking distance for groceries as well as numerous pubs/restaurants. Communication was excellent. Would definitely stay here again.
Great place to stay if you're wanting to explore Charleston and surrounding areas. Clean, well furnished, cozy and quiet! Close to Folly Beach and minutes from Charleston, Isle of Palms, store, golf courses, museums and restaurants. We would stay at this place again!
This duplex is a great location for a quick and easy drive to Folly Beach and to Charleston. The unit had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay and was clean upon arrival. The air conditioning units were key and helped to reduce the dampness in the air. I would stay again.
Really cute cottage in the perfect location! Very well-maintained, clean, with lots of added touches to enhance our stay. And we loved the countertop ice maker and excellent AC after hot days, exploring the city! Highly recommend!
