Smart TVs with Netflix and local channels are provided in the living room and both bedrooms. You can also log into other streaming services with your own account if you'd like. The house is thoughtfully prepared for your arrival with flatware, knives, cookware, coffee maker (pot or pod) & toaster all made by Cuisinart and were all purchased new exclusively for this vacation home.

We highly recommend the purchase of a travel insurance policy due to the fact that our area is in a hurricane prone region of the country. As a reminder we are pet friendly!($85 per pet, max of 2).

Amenities were great, close to great parks overlooking Charleston, bridge, and Mt Pleasant. Hosts were always available for questions and suggestions for places to visit, the best!!!!
Such a cozy cottage with everything that you need. Thoughtful attention to details such as TP, paper towels, coffee and such made us feel right at home.
We really enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of this cottage. It is so nicely decorated with coastal charm, so warm and inviting.The kitchen was nicely stocked. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very understanding that we accidentally packed one of the TV remotes! (We shipped it back!) We will definitely choose this cottage again and highly recommend for a couple or small family.
Kim and Lee are great hosts and their home was exactly as described. They are not only dog friendly, they’re dog welcoming! They have a huge enclosed grassy backyard and have emergency dog food and dog supplies on hand.This was the best “pet friendly” VRBO experience we’ve had.
This property was in the perfect location from everything we wanted to do! Nice and cozy. Perfect for my boyfriend, mom and I. We had everything we needed and the hosts made us feel so welcome. Very clean and organized as well. Perfect spot, looking forward to coming back to Charleston.
The location was perfect - close to the beach and downtown. We found some great local places to eat. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. All the beach items provided were awesome.

Katie, Lee & I couldn’t have wished for a better guest! We hope you’ll visit again!
We are local and needed extra space for family visiting. We were so impressed with the location -quick jaunt to downtown Charleston and Folly beach- and the cleanliness of the home. The owners were fantastic to communicate with, as well. Thanks for a great stay - we will definitely rent again :)
Charming, cozy property with all the kitchen amenities you would want. We are readers so lighting is important to us. This filled the bill. Would definitely stay here again. Loved the beachy decor.
This house worked well for our Mom/daughter girls trip to Charleston. There were three of us so it was comfortable. I was looking for something less pricey than the downtown area. We rented a car as it was necessary to drive to the beach, Cypress Gardens, Boone plantation, and downtown Charleston. Had a nice stay and appreciated the updated and well-supplied kitchen for making a couple meals of our own.
