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!

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!

Billfish in December

We had doctors appointments in Charleston, so we decided to spend a few days in the area. The house was very convenient for our needs. It was very clean and comfortable. The hosts, Kelly and Michael, were very accessible and responded in a most timely manner to any communication.

Great home away from home

We love James Island and this home is in the heart of it. It was everything we were looking for! It felt like home away from home! The fenced back yard is perfect when traveling with your fur babies. The neighborhood is great for walking as well. This cute home is clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. There is a small pond by the deck and driveway that was beautiful with water lily’s in vibrant bloom every morning! We had great and prompt communication with Kelly, the host. The dryer stopped working and was fixed the same day. We would love to come back to this property in the near future and recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway in this area.

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.

James Island Gem

Updates to property are top notch, and the location is central for quick access to dining/shopping. Baguette Magic is very close and was a favorite for breakfast. Fenced in yard with doggy door was very convenient.

Overall a good stay

House was very clean and everything was as expected. The neighborhood is generally very quiet, but one annoyance that the host cannot control is the neighbors like to use their leaf blowers. Also, traffic on Folly Road gets very heavy at times.

Great location to beach, and downtown Charleston

It’s perfect when traveling with a pet with the big fenced backyard. It’s located conveniently between Folly Beach and downtown Charleston so we didn’t need to drive far to explore the general area. We would definitely stay there again.

Wife and I traveled to Charleston to meet our son whom is a US Marine Stationed in North Carolina. We had a great time! House was located just a few minutes from downtown, quiet neighborhood.

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.

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!

Clean, Comfortable & Close

This home is very clean and well cared for. The AC works very well and all appliances are like new. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to make a meal. The house is very comfortable to come back to after a day at the beach or sightseeing. It is a very easy and short drive in and out of the city or to the beach. The fenced in yard is great if you are traveling with your dog. We enjoyed our stay and would rent this property again.
