Loved it!

The Island Hideout was perfect. It was very clean and comfortable with lots of room, comfy beds and convenient parking. The location was so convenient to everthing you come to Charleston for: the beach, great food, entertainment etc but still tucked into a quiet peaceful neighborhood. David was easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. We will definitely stay here again and recommend The Hideout to others! Thanks for a great stay!

James Island

The location of the property was excellent. The accommodations were good, but having one bed in the living area is kind of awkward. The property would be great for a couple who only needed to use the one bedroom in the back of the house. Enjoyed our stay, but if traveling to Charleston again would probably choose another location - only because of the layout of the bedrooms - really only one "bedroom". The bathroom is really small as well. The host was great with correspondence. Overall, really enjoyed our stay.

Easy Peasy!

My mom recently moved to Bishop Gadsden (a retirement home) and no longer has a guest bedroom to stay in, so my siblings and I looked into alternatives (hotel, stay with friends, etc…) Island Retreat is the PERFECT solution. It’s one of three properties on the “compound”. It’s clean, safe and so easy, which is just what I need. It’s also close to the Walmart if you need anything. I will say the bathroom is teensy (no counter space at all and a tiny shower) so I think it wouldn’t be great for a group of friends - just something to keep in mind. Other than that it’s pretty much perfect.

Convenient and clean

This was an impromptu trip so we were just looking for somewhere we could get baths and sleep after our time at the beach and Charleston. The island hideout was at a great location between Folly and Charleston. Very private back area and we felt safe. The apartment was clean and beds were comfortable. We sat outside a lot and had our own areas to relax in. I would go here again and recommend to anyone coming to this area.

Seamless check-in, property clean with all the amenities, made good use of the beach chairs that are available, property 10 minutes from the beach and about the same for the city of Charleston, Folly Beach is very nice , you need to get away from the congested parts near the pier on towards the Lighthouse, much cleaner and less crowded

Beach Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at this location. It was conveniently located between Folly Beach and Charleston. We went to the beach in the daytime and Charleston for evening dinners. the place was spotless and extremely comfortable. The owner checked in with us prior and during our stay to make sure we were good and to make sure there were no problems. The property was such a great setup. We didn't use the backyard area during our stay but if we wanted to, the area was comfortable enough to just sit back and enjoy the evenings there. We would definitely return.

Outdoor shower, clean, bike-able… lovely lil stay

It was a lovely stay. One of the best features was the outdoor shower for cleaning off after going to the beach! So convenient. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Appreciate an easy check in system and the security of the gate! Location was fantastic, central to folly, west Ashley, downtown, mount pleasant… all places we wanted to visit. I got to run away to Starbucks one morning for an hour to read and my husband and 7 year old were able to easily bike up to where I was to then hop in the car to go down to the beach so I loved how’s bike-able this location was. Inside, things were nicely labeled so you knew where EVERYTHING was. Fresh sheets and bedspreads, clean floors and bathroom. Air purifier in central location. Generously left snacks on counter. Enjoyed it :)

We had a lovely time! Arrived through a gate; inside yard was pretty, with table seating, an outdoor shower, and plenty of parking. Inside were two queen beds and a fold-down couch (could comfortable hold only one person), one bathroom with a shower, a kitchen (with dishes/pots/utensils), and a laundry/dryer room with lockable door (shared with second floor tenants). Two TVs with subscriptions to Netflix and Prime, plenty of sheets and towels, shampoo/conditioner/soap provided. Beach was an 8 min drive away; we found plenty to do during the two nights we stayed. Thank you!

Great Little Hideaway!

The property had multiple rentals, but was pretty quiet most of the time. The last night we were there, the front of the property had a party and blocked the driveway to get into our rental and the partygoers were a little loud. However, it wasn’t enough to keep us up all night and they moved the cars right away when asked. The bungalow itself was super cute with most conveniences we needed. It was clean except that walking on the floor in bare feet gave us black soles. I imagine it might be difficult to keep a tiled floor super clean when your guests are constantly going to the beach! There were chairs, coolers, boogie boards, and an umbrella for use when we went to the beach which really enhanced our experience, especially the day it was raining; the umbrella came in really handy! The last night we were there, the internet went out which was a minor inconvenience. It came back on after we went to bed. Overall, we really loved being there! It was perfect for our family of four. We were comfortable and happy and I loved that I could wash our clothes and beach towels!

Perfect in between

We loved this stay! It was the perfect spot in between Folly and Charleston. Although we didn't hang around the property too much due to a wedding, it was comfortable enough for 5 people and would have been a cool place to hang and cook dinner. I would definitely stay here again.
