Really beautiful little cottage. It was the perfect size for our week in Charleston. Close to everything and a nice retreat at the end of a fun filled day. Would love to stay here again.

I was only there for one night, but David's property was easily the cleanest and nicest VRBO that I've stayed at so far.

We had a wonderful stay here! The house was adorable. It was very clean with well thought out details to make our stay easier and more enjoyable. It's a great location between Folly Beach and Charleston!

We really enjoyed staying at the cottage, it was very clean, in a quiet neighborhood, and close proximity to the beach. The communication with the host was great. Loved the keyless easy entry and best of all our dog was welcomed as well. The huge fully fenced in yard gave us piece of mind when we were all sitting outside. Great place would definitely come back!

We had three people staying and it was a great little place for our family to stay. Close to everything we wanted to do, or just a quick trip. Check in/out was easy and all of the communication was easy and quick.

Beautiful little cottage that was perfect for my husband, myself & our lab. 20 minutes to downtown Charleston or 15 minutes to Folly Beach. Our host was easy to work with; communication was excellent! Would definitely stay here again👍🏻

Place was great, one of the nicest rentals I have stayed in. Close to the beach and the city. Very thorough instructions, made it pretty idiot proof.

Cottage was well appointed, quiet and in a good location with a gated yard. We were able to walk our small dog without ever leaving the property. Beds were super comfortable. Hosts were very responsive. Make sure you have BOTH codes (gate and house) before arrival for easy check-in.

We loved this place! Cutest little romantic little house. We were even greeted with a nice bottle of red wine. Everything was super clean and cozy. The house itself will make you want one just like it!! We would LOVE to stay again soon!!

The cottage is surprisingly roomy for its size. They used the space perfectly. It was cozy, comfortable , and had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and worked with our requests. The shared yard is big enough that we never really saw the other guests. The location is also wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and hope to frequent this little cottage often !!

Owner was quick to respond. Location is very close to Folly Beach, and 30-40 minutes to Kiawah for our golf courses. Location was also 10 minutes to downtown Charleston. Good for small group.

15 minutes to the county park beach, 10 minutes to Charleston, 10 minutes to Folly Beach Downtown area, 3 minutes to Publix and this little gem is secluded in the backyard of another home - the gated backyard made us feel very safe and it was very quiet. We had great time - would come back definitely. Highly recommended

The cottage is precious and comfortable. Very safe behind secure fence. David and Deidra were very responsive to all questions. Had I read all the information provided at check in I wouldn’t have been such a bother. The stairs up to the loft are narrow and tricky for an older person but worked fine for 30 something’s. Great location loved it!

This cottage is absolutely stunning! It’s very cozy and spacious at the same time. David, the host, is awesome! He’s quick to respond and checks in to make sure everything is going well. My family and I felt like we were right at home. If you’re looking for a nice weekend get away and unplug from everything, this is the best place to stay!

We are a family of 4 young adults , Me (the mom), and a 14 year old. This was a small house that lived LARGE, mostly because of the wonderful outdoor seating area. Great location! Minutes to the beach and downtown Charlestown ! Our host was most accommodating and the communication was so valuable. Thanks for your part in our wonderful family memories created!

I cannot recommend this place enough! I am a local James Islander whose condo is under reconstruction, and I work from home. This little cottage is nestled in the back of a fenced in private property in a very convenient location, and it has been my home away from home while I’m “homeless.” I just rebooked this place for a third time during my condo’s reconstruction process because I love it so much. The high ceilings, floor length windows, and beautifully designed interior with giant trees surrounding the building make it feel like you are literally staying in a treehouse. It is private with a lovely patio area and fantastic outdoor setup for my little dog, who has enjoyed having plenty of space to play fetch with his ball. The outdoor shower is amazing and I highly recommend using it. The host David has been incredibly responsive and helpful and given us an all round stellar experience!

Unfortunately, my wife and I didn’t have the ability to stay in the property. Our weekend was the same weekend at hurricane Ian. The property itself looks really nice. Our only complaint is that with a hurricane our host was not willing to work with us on rescheduling our stay to another weekend due to the hurricane that hit. We understand that the property owner is not required to refund us but, a little flexibility would have been greatly appreciated. Especially with the host indicating that a category 1 hurricane is perfectly fine and “nothing to worry about and normal.” Overall we were really looking forward to our stay but, flexibility to rescheduling to another weekend would have been appreciated with the hurricane that hit.
