Great view overlooking the marsh, with easy access to everything in Charleston. The property is a shared space. The pool and driveway and yard are used by the owners as well. We were surprised once we got there to find out how close the villa and the pool was to the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 May 2026
Jennifer, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, the space is shared with the owners. The town of James Island will only allow Short Term Rental as long as the owners live on the property. This keeps the parking, noise and parties down in the local neighborhoods. We hope we were able to give you a fun and relaxing weekend!

Susan is a wonderful host. The property is fabulous! The scenery from the very comfortable porch is mesmerizing! If you like nature you will adore this place. We loved watching the birds. We had trouble getting our 21 year old Granddaughter to leave the property to go see the sights! We have never been able to say that before. Truly, this property is an excellent choice. We are going back!

Susan and her husband were the best hosts. They were very detailed oriented at the VRBO and super sweet. Their property had the most stunning views of the marshes. We even got to see an otter. Their terrace provided privacy with our own stunning sunrise views. The property was top notch as well. And some real nice touristy places to explore like Folly Beach and Charleston downtown nearby.

Perfect spot and great hosts

This bungalow was perfect for my small family while visiting family. It was the cleanest rental I have stayed in. The beds were comfortable, which is important to me. The hosts were quick to communicate and answer any questions. They live on property, so we interacted and were extremely nice! We will be staying again next time we are in Charleston.
