If you’re ever in Charleston and you need a great little spot for 2 people at a very affordable price this place is perfect. It was in walking distance to everything we needed. The place was clean, kitchen had everything and a very comfy bed also. Will definitely look into this place again if or when we go back to Charleston.
The cottage was perfect for my husband and I while we were visiting our children in Charleston. Nice neighborhood, convenient location to Folly Beach and downtown Charleston, and comfortable bed! We enjoyed our stay.
Wonderful location. Felt like a safe residential neighborhood. About 10-15 minutes to downtown and 15 minutes to Folly beach. Very clean. Great water pressure in the shower. Comfortable bed and couch. 5 stars!
We were in town for a wedding and stayed an extra few days to see Charleston. This place was perfect for us! The description and check-in/out instructions were simple and accurate. It was peaceful, quiet, and in a perfect location to see all the sights. We loved it!
This cottage was perfect for me and my boyfriend for a long beach weekend! It was centrally located to restaurants and shops and quick drive to the beach.
We enjoyed our stay at Coastal Cottage. It was a great location that made it easy to get to the places we wanted to visit. We would definitely recommend it.
The cottage is clean and in a great central location. The hosts were so accommodating and allows us to check in a day early when there was a change in our travel plans. We hope to visit again!
Overall was a nice place to stay. Centerally located to almost anything you could want to do in Charelston and the surrounding area. Was pretty clean and had most of the basic supplies you would need for cooking.
Perfect for our needs - clean, spacious, all the amenities of home, quiet, close to downtown as well as the beach. Lovely outdoor space available. The host was very personable and responsive. I highly recommend and would go back the next time we visit Charleston.
