Location was perfect. Neighborhood was friendly. House was clean and well-stocked. Beds were comfortable. Shower pressure was good. I'd definitely stay again.
Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. I had a run-in with a pit bull across the street, one house up, while on a walk, but the neighbor quickly took care of the situation before the dog reached me in the road. That problem is out of the homeowner's control. Just might want to be mindful of an aggressive dog in the area when staying here. Its a clean, well kept home in a very convenient location. I would stay here again.

So sorry about the neighbors dog. This is not an issue we have ever had before and hopefully not again!
The host was very responsive and understanding when I had questions. Everything was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We had a wonderful time in a lovely and conveniently located home.
We had a wonderful week in Charleston! The Billfish Bungalow was perfect for our family, including our fur baby. The rooms were very clean, beds were very comfy and each had a fan, which was nice. The living space was the perfect size, and backyard was super cute and nicely fenced in. The kitchen is still missing a teapot ;) but everything else one needed to cook meals was there! Would definitely stay again!
The house was close to Folly beach and downtown Charleston. Kelly, the host was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and had a great experience. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
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.
Loved the house and the neighborhood. The yard was a wonderful bonus. Neighbors were very friendly so a great place to walk and talk. And very accessible to downtown Charleston and Johns Island. We would definitely stay here again.
This home was perfect for my husband, dog, and I! Super clean, cute, and perfect location. The fenced yard and quiet neighborhood was a huge plus. Would 100% stay again.
Perfect location between folly beach and downtown!
This was a great location for a house and it fit all of us so nicely. Host is super nice and helpful with everything, cute house would definitely recommend.
We had a great stay here for a long weekend visit to Charleston. Conveniently located, very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The hosts were easy to communicate with and responsive. We definitely will go back on our next trip to Charleston and highly recommend!
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.
