Unique Zen Tiny House 2 mi to Beach ~ Free Bikes! Minutes to Historic Charleston
Experience a unique stay in the Zen Tiny House. This isn't on wheels, but is a modern flat tucked underneath a huge magnolia tree in my backyard with 100-year-old live oaks. Located in a quiet, historic neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant, the beaches are only 2 miles away and downtown Charleston is a 10-15 minute car ride. Use the complimentary bikes to pedal to the beach or be adventurous and ride downtown and catch the spectacular view over the Ravenel Bridge.

We enjoyed our stay at the Zen Garden! Everything was well stocked (toiletries, kitchen needs, towels, etc). It’s tucked back behind the main house and the space is exactly as pictured. Thanks for the lovely accommodations!

The location was perfect - quiet and safe neighborhood with easy access to all the attractions. Cristina was a great host and we would definitely visit again.
The goat was very communicative. Everything we needed was at the property. Accomodations were super cute and clean. Great location. Would definitely stay again and recommend.
I always wanted to stay in a tiny house so this was a perfect way to try it out. It was so much fun! What a cute place. It didn't feel cramped at all, everything was new and fresh, plenty of light. The sleeping loft was great. Felt like a Barbie dollhouse. Host was fantastic, great communication. The location is walking distance from restaurants, Starbucks, etc. Minutes to Ravenel bridge and downtown Charleston, as well as Sullivan's Island in the opposite direction. I was visiting friends, so this made it very convenient. Would definitely stay again. My only recommendation is a more secure door code, as a solo woman traveler it made me a little nervous. But the neighborhood is lovely and super safe.

Goods as advertised.
In the middle of all sorts of dining and shopping. A quick trip over the bridge and you're in downtown Charleston. The host was friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for the beach and 4th of july. Would definitely stay again next time we are in town.
Amazing stay great experience only have two things better water pressure and a better shower head other then that amazing stay great host and amazing property would recommend
We loved our stay at the tiny house! It's clean, spacious, private and so cute! My husband and I were in town for my brother's wedding and opted to rent the tiny house instead of staying in a hotel. We loved it and will be back next time we visit!
Quaint tiny home in a very convenient location! it was perfect for our vacation, the tiny house is very close to the beach and Charleston, so we had plenty of options for things to do! We also appreciated the suggestions for things to do in the guest guide for the tiny house. We had a great time!

The hubs and I took a 5 day trip without the kiddos, and this was the perfect little spot! Everything was clean and well kept. We loved having bike access for all of the nearby restaurants, Shem Creek, and stores. Cristina was a great host and we will definitely be back in the future!

Thanks Kari! I'm happy y'all had a good time. You guys where awesome!
We booked the Zen Tiny House for our 1 year wedding anniversary trip to Charleston. We loved staying here! It is only about a 10 minute drive to Charleston and in a lovely neighborhood. There were plenty of wonderful restaurants close by if you didn’t feel like traveling to the city. The tiny home itself is absolutely adorable. It was well stocked with essentials and had plenty of items in case you forgot something. We had never stayed in a tiny home before, but we now have high expectations for future trips! Cristina was very responsive and answered any questions you had regarding the tiny home and local places to stop at. She had directions on how to take a bike ride to Sullivans Island, and different literature for sights to see/places to eat. I would absolutely recommend staying at the Zen Tiny House, and will plan to stay there on our next trip to Mount Pleasant!

We never fell from the balcony and managed to negotiate the ladder even at our chronologically challenged ages. What a sweet little Zen nest. Christina was wonderfully communicative and the setup of the house was thoughtfully arranged. Amenities were ample and the karma was absolutely delightful.

About the host
Hosted by Cristina
I'm a native Charlestonian and have lived in Mount Pleasant for the majority of my life. I love basically anything that has to do with the ocean and ocean sports.I know a lot about Charleston and the surrounding areas from the best places to eat to finding a hassel-free parking spot downtown. Just hit me up during your stay for suggestions.
Why they chose this property
The Zen Tiny House is located in the highly-coveted Old Village/Old Mount Pleasant neighborhood. This is the oldest neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant where houses date back to the 1700s. This is a great area to ride the free bikes around and check out the historic houses, explore quaint shops, have lunch at the Post House restaurant, stop off for a glass of wine at the OV Wine Bar, or grab a milk shake at Pitt Street Pharmacy with its old-timey Soda Fountain counter..
What makes this property unique
The Zen Tiny House is centrally located between the beaches and downtown Charleston. And don't let the square footage scare you, the tiny house is quite roomy and has everything you need considering it's just under 300 square feet. Guests can enjoy the free use of cruiser bikes to ride the neighborhood or to the beach. It's also fun to ride over the Ravenel Bridge to downtown Charleston. Its location is an easy walk to several nice restaurants/bars just a few blocks away. There are two grocery stores less than half a mile away, Whole Foods is about three miles away, and there is a great place to get a facial or massage just down the street. Also, If you need to do laundry, I have a washer/dryer that will be available to you if requested. There is a very friendly standard poodle, Stella, that can be briefly in the yard sometimes. If she sees you she will bark, she is a lover not a fighter, so don't let her scare you. However, if you are afraid of dogs, please let me know. I will make sure that she doesn't go outside in the backyard without me with her when you are there.
