Great Brief Staycation

We live about 45 minutes away in Summerville and booked this grade little cottage for a staycation by the beach. Amazing location closer to the better beach and and shops then Wild Dunes, where we had family staying as well. If it wasn’t such a hot part of the year, I could imagine the amazing porch being a great place to sit and relax!

Cozy Beach Cottage

Lovely home in a great location. The house was perfect for my small family. We spent many nights on the screened in porch enjoying the evening. The outdoor shower was perfect for washing off sandy toes and the bedrooms were comfortable and cozy. This house was in a perfect location as it was near the shopping center and within walking distance to the beach. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone with a smaller family looking for a beach getaway.

Anniversary Vaca

We fell in love with the cottage! Our favorite spot was the bench swing in the screened in porch. The main bed was very comfortable and we took every shower outside! Unfortunately, when we arrived the home was not clean. It was quickly rectified and we were actually refunded the cleaning fee, which was very generous of the host. We’re definitely booking this cottage again next year! Great location to the beach and restaurants.

GREAT BEACH HOUSE!

We loved staying in this beautiful beach house! It is even more wonderful than pictured. The big screened porch with porch swing and private back yard was fantastic, we had our coffee out there every morning, cocktails at dusk, so cozy! The location of the home is perfect, short walk to the fantastic beach, a great grocery store close by, perfect place to take long walks! The beds were super comfy, the home was immaculately clean. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware and dishes you could ever want. Top of the line washer/dryer and dishwasher. Spices on hand, good icemaker in fridge, 2 options of good coffee makers. Oh and the shower head! The best! There are no negatives to this place, except it so hard to leave! This is our new best place to go for a perfect getaway! Highly recommend. Laurel is wonderful and super responsive. Thank you Laurel! Hope to visit Isle of Palms and your lovely home again very soon!

We used this porch every day!!! Very convenient location to beach and grocery store. Easy walk to the beach. The pictures aren't totally accurate as to the exact furniture, but it was nice.

A delightful stay, excellent location.

We had an incredible stay at Laurel’s place last week! Our family of four stayed here, while our extended family rented another house on Isle of Palms. We rented a golf cart, which made zipping between houses a breeze all week. Laurel was an exceptional host—her communication was top-notch, and she made us feel so welcome. The house was spotlessly clean, and we absolutely loved the cozy screened-in porch, perfect for relaxing. Its proximity to shopping was a huge plus!The house was so well-stocked that we didn’t need the paper towels and other supplies we brought—it’s like a vacation baking kit: just bring your family and food, and you’re set for an amazing time! Pro tip: Check with Laurel after booking to confirm what’s provided, as she’s super responsive and helpful.We loved every moment of our stay. Thank you, Laurel, for making our vacation unforgettable!

Hiding from Milton

This was a last minute booking as a hideaway from our 2nd hurricane in two weeks. Booking was a breeze and checkin instructions/directions were great. Location was perfect, off on a quiet street yet walkable to restaurants and the beach and grocery. As we were fleeing the storm we didn't take advantage of everything available here, but it was exactly what we needed at the time.

SUPER

My wife and I loved staying here. We toured Charleston only 25 minutes away but really loved the house location. Quite neighbor streets that I ran and biked thru each day and soooo close to the ocean which I swam in every day. Restaurants and grocery store very close. And the price was super! Thanks for sharing your home. Mike

Review Submitted : 6/18/2022
'This house is so perfect. We live in Florida but rent houses frequently on the island throughout the year for work. We have rented some really large and fancy houses on the island but this house is my favorite. Its small but would be perfect for a couple or small family. Its location is perfect. Its close to the grocery store and many restaurants. It is within a short walk to the beach and has a little shower outside the side door to rinse off the sand. It has a nice fire pit out front and my wife and daughter loved the back porch, which is screened in and has a day bed and a swing. The house had plenty of towels and even beach chairs and toys. It was very cozy and clean. We will definitely stay here again and would give it more stars if we could.'
