Comfortable and Relaxing Stay in a Great Location

We stayed 6 nights. Located 15 minutes to Folly Beach and 10 minutes to Charleston downtown. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom is small but adequate. Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Went for morning walks. Kitchen was adequate for our needs. Nice living room setup for watching TV. Great communication with owners. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot!

We wanted to stay at a spot between Charleston and Folly and this place was the perfect in-between. Everything was clean and tidy and we had plenty of room for our family.

Great family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at Billfish Bungalow. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 and our kids loved having a backyard to run around in. The house was in a great location, close to everything we wanted to see as well as good restaurants and grocery stores. The kitchen was missing some essentials like a kettle, dish clothes, towels, pot holders and oven mitts. Other than that, it was wonderful!

As advertised

The property was as advertised! It was clean and was close enough to DT Charleston and Folly Beach to make going to either of them less than 15 minutes depending on traffic. There are several grocery stores and some decent restaurants nearby, overall it was a great experience.

Charleston vacation

The house was very clean and as pictures presented. Has a yard which was nice for my doggie. The only downside was it had one bathroom and it was a bit small but we managed for 3 people. Had to drive to the beaches and Charleston left early to accommodate.

Delightful Home Away from Home

This safe, quiet, clean, and comfortable home was the perfect setting for our girl’s trip. The location was ideal to reach the sights easily and quickly. The hosts were very accommodating with plenty of towels, comfortable beds, and local information. Our visiting time was mostly spent in the living room or back deck while also appreciating the private space of our own bedroom. The fish pond added to the outdoor ambience. However, remember your bug spray; you’re in the Deep South. If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again.

Perfect place for a beach weekend w friends and pups!

I visited as part of a group with three couples. Each couple had a room and we found the house to be bigger, cleaner and nicer than expected! The living room was plenty for all of us to play games and watch a movie. We all had a night of grilling with the comfy furniture. It was SO nice to have a fenced yard for the dogs (the neighbor’s dog even came to visit once on accident and they were super nice). A perfect mix of privacy and neighbors. I went for a little run around the neighborhood and it’s fun to look at all the different houses. Walgreens is right there and the beach was an easy drive. We had such a good time and would come back! My one warning is that there are fire ants in the back yard in some places! I got a few bites but once I wore shoes instead of sandals I was fine and my dogs didn’t show any sign of being bit. Kelly was communicative and kind in the booking process. Thank you!

Awesome home

This house was in the perfect location. It is a quiet neighborhood. It was very clean and had plenty of room for everyone to sit. The shower has great water pressure and we never ran out of hot water (7 people). Loved that we could bring our dog (Rottweiler) and it had a fenced in backyard. Highly recommend this house. Michael and Kelly were awesome too.

Great Homebase

We had a very nice stay. It was a convenient location because we have family on James Island but wanted to be able to get in and out of Charleston. There were 5 of us and the only drawback was the 1 bathroom but we were well aware of this going into our stay. Clean, roomy and comfortable!
