Fantastic host and great location!

We had a great experience staying here. Sarah is a host who will go above and beyond to help - and she was always quick to respond. The location was perfect! Most activities were 10-15 min away. We stayed here with our 4 year old, and we had plenty of space. Access to the neat backyard was also very much appreciated. Would highly recommend staying here!

Very Cozy and Clean

We stopped for two nights in Charleston and booked this cute cottage. The owner, Sarah was extremely helpful before check-in and during our stay. A very nice extra were farm fresh eggs available for our enjoyment. They were delicious! The proximity to Charleston city center was close, but not within walking distance. The property is on a busy road. If mild road noise doesn't bother you then you wouldn't notice.

Charleston Getaway

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. This property was just as described in the listing. The location was perfect for those who don’t want to stay in the city itself. The rental was clean, nicely appointed, and some fun treats and surprises were left for us to enjoy...even some fresh eggs from the property hens. The rental was near restaurants, excursions, and just a short drive to the city. We enjoyed a day at The Magnolia Plantation, a boat ride over to Fort Sumter(I got to help raise the flag for the day), City Market, two separate carriage rides(historical and ghost), and enjoyed many great meals. The hosts were very nice and easily contacted if needed. You won't be disappointed with this great rental.

Visit to Low Country

We enjoyed our visit to Charleston and surrounding low country. This house location is just across the river from Charleston and also 15 minutes to Folly Beach (without traffic). The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped with oven, toaster oven, microwave, full size fridge, and big sink. We walked to the nearby grocery store and grilled one night. The house has a fun backyard with lights, canal-like waterway, fire pit, gardens, gas grill, and even chickens. Sarah, the host, was very communicative about everything.

Great Find with Random Perks that were great for my family

What a great find for my family of 4. The location was within a 20 minute drive or less of everything we had interest in doing. The price was right and had everything we needed during our stay. I was concerned about it being a smaller space with 2 kids, daughter (6) and son (10) but we LOVED and fully used the backyard areas. My son loved playing with Sarah's sons. They were so well behaved and that was a highlight of the trip to get back to hang out with them on the trampoline or playing basketball. My daughter loved the trampoline and feeding the geese in the canal in the back. I loved the mini chicken lesson when Sarah let my kids collect the chicken eggs and some of the tidbits they learned about chickens. It was such a unique experience for a rental to have but it was just want my family needed. The hot tub was waiting on a part so we were bummed about that. The queen bed in the master was super comfy. The kids slept on the twin air mattress which was the tallest thing we've ever seen, and there was a twin fold out for my younger one. There was enough room in the bedroom to finagle the 2 twin mattress so we could all sleep in there together. They added a desk to the main room which was not part of the original posting when I first reserved so that was a nice add for me to do some work at. We would definitely consider coming back and staying.
