About this property

This beautiful and immaculately renovated ground floor studio on Shem Creek, in the heart of Mt Pleasant, SC is the perfect place to experience the charm of the Lowcountry. A large and private lot with separate pathways throughout have all added to the privacy of this studio. The studio is centrally located between Downtown Historic Charleston, the beaches of Sullivans Island, and Isle of Palms. This picturesque property provides views of a five-acre fresh water lake, marshland and gorgeous sunsets. Two kayaks, two bikes and two paddle boards are provided free-of-charge so that you can paddle down the creek to dinner or bike to the many restaurants and shops on Coleman Blvd. Guests are welcome to bring and dock their own boat for an extra charge (we are only 1.5 miles from the Charleston Harbor by water). This bird lovers paradise showcases marsh and fresh water birds throughout almost 2 acres of land (Bald eagles, ospreys and otters have been spotted on the lake). Enjoy the shade of the property's southern live oak trees or soak up the sun as you fish or crab off the deep water dock.

Perfect in Every Way

You cannot beat the location of this house. Close to Charleston, close to the beach, close to all the shopping and history and browsing and dining you could want. The property is amazing, offering views of mature trees, lovely landscaping, inviting lawns, and animal-watching galore. Staying at this home was as much a highlight for us as touring the area. Jackie and Chris have created a true oasis at the Studio at Shem Creek. Many extras are included inside the apartment as well. They are wonderful hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Another perfect stay

This is a gem that is a separate open floor plan apartment (ground floor separate entrance from larger house) on Shems Creek just over the big bridge from Charleston. Shopping and dining are walkable but- at the same time- bald eagles and large egrets were 30 yards away from our front door. Kayaking and fishing 50 yards away! Jackie is a superb host who is on-site but maintains a complete professional distance. We originally came for the women's tennis tournament- now we come just to hang out and work from home!

Everything you could ask for.

This VRBO has everything to offer. The inside and outside are meticulous. Peacefulness is the key word. If you like, the restaurants on Shem Creek are out of this world. We enjoyed fishing and watching the Eagle’s nest. The host, Nicole couldn’t be friendlier. We really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing weekend getaway!

Chris and Jackie, you have an amazing property inside and out! Communication from start to end was seamless and everything was as advertised. We were especially happy to see the floating boat dock which gave us peace of mind. We cannot wait to come back with our son!

Creekside Gem

Enjoyed our stay tremendously. Unit is a converted space in a private home with owners in residence. However, the unit is very private, with a separate entrance to the opposite side of the house. Views from the picture windows are of the water, with ducks and other birds visiting throughout the day. We were there 3 nights. The studio is very well-equipped, and could easily accommodate a longer stay. Owner provided thoughtful touches, such as basic condiments, coffee w/sweetener & cream, etc. (They even delivered a small bundt cake for a birthday while we were there.) Owners encouraged us to use and enjoy the property (dock, firepit, outdoor seating), and made us feel at home. Would definitely stay again.

Hidden gem

This space is by far one of our favorites that we’ve visited on both coasts. The studio is well appointed and spotless. The interior and grounds are aesthetically pleasing. The space fosters a relaxed state after a busy day exploring and within close proximity of dining and sightseeing. The hosts are accommodating, welcoming and easy to communicate with. The small thoughtful touches prove there is a lot of thought into making the guest comfortable. We look forward to visiting again.

Gorgeous property - everything we could have hoped for!

This Shem Creek Studio was everything we could have hoped for and more. Jackie & Chris were so friendly and thoughtful, and I can't say enough about the gorgeous views right outside the windows of the studio. The property was absolutely stunning. After long days of exploring the Charleston area it was so nice to be able to come back to the studio, sit outside and unwind, and simply enjoy the peaceful tranquility while watching the sunset. We'd definitely stay here again - highly recommended!

Wonderful vacation

This is one of the best vacations we have ever had. The studio was perfect, squeaky clean, had all the amenities you could want, plus some. The property is gorgeous with tons of wildlife and beautiful water views. The studio was the perfect location for us, a very sort drive to Charleston and Sullivan's Island. We loved it so much and will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Line

In order to stay home with my two children, my husband and I decided renting out the the Studio on the first floor would be a great opportunity to help subsidize our mortgage, and share our beautiful location.

Why they chose this property

Once you arrive, you will see what a unique piece of property this is. With Shem Creek on one side of the garden and a five acre lake on the other side, we enjoy spectacular views of the lake and the marsh. Yet we are a stones throw to the heart of Mt Pleasant. And only a 10 minute drive to the beach and 10 minutes from historic downtown Charleston.

What makes this property unique

You will be the only person sharing this property with us. You have access to the creek, kayaks and two bicycles to help you explore Mt Pleasant. Also available is the ability to bring your boat (up to 23 feet) and leave it in the water, so you can enjoy all the water activities Charleston has to offer without having to launch your boat daily. The dock has power and water to clean you boat and catch. There is good fishing off the dock for red fish, trout and flounder.
