Perfect Location

Stayed here to visit my son who recently moved to Charleston. The space was perfect and within driving distance of many points of interest. It had everything you could ask for. The bed was so.....comfy and the shower was wonderful. The property was very clean. The beach chairs were a nice feature. We will be back .

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.

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!
