Newly Renovated close to Downtown & Folly Beach

Completely renovated in January 2022, Highland Cottage offers the perfect location in laid-back James Island, a suburb of Downtown Charleston. Ideally located 4 miles from Historic Downtown Charleston and 7 miles from Folly Beach. The cottage is equipped with a full-service kitchen with brand new appliances, Rinnai gas hot-water heater and outdoor grill. Within a one-block easy walk, you have access to many restaurants and one block from Starbucks. We are also only 1 block away from the closest public bus stop with access to Downtown Charleston. Beach chairs and a cooler are onsite and available to our guests. Great affordable option for visiting Charleston.

My wife and I spent 2 weeks over the 2024 Christmas and New Years. Or stay at the cottage was very convenient for us. Shopping and restaurants were abundant and workout facilities were a plus, all in waking distance. The cottage was well stocked and clean. Beds were comfortable.

Could not say enough great things about this rental!! The Host was SO helpful and accommodating to our group. The house was a hidden gem, was so clean, beautiful and the perfect size. The rental is a short Uber ride to downtown.

Everything was perfect. She has everything a person needs in this apartment-coffee, laundry supplies, shampoo, beach towels and chairs, and when I enquired about an issue, she was there taking care of it the next morning (and it was a very minor question). Location was so convenient to Folly Beach, downtown, plantation and restaurants within walking distance.

The house is in a great location that made exploring the area really easy. The extra beach chairs, towels, and cooler wound up being a real big help. It was one of those thoughtful things that really made our stay excellent.

We loved our location as a landing place for our many excursions into Charleston and around the Islands. 1000 feet from the busy Folly road was our peaceful, welcoming cabin. The cabin lacked some privacy since you crossed the hall to the bathrooms. We still felt it was a perfect landing place and can’t say enough about the help offered by Judy throughout our by

Everything about this place was excellent. The very convenient location, comfortable beds, the back deck and well kept property made for a great stay. We even tried out the tandem bike riding back to the nearby Dock Street park!

We really enjoyed our stay at this comfortable cottage in its quiet & well situated neighborhood. We were close to the beaches & downtown Charleston. The restaurants, Martin’s & Gillies were very good & in walking distance. This house was clean & well stocked with everything you need for a great vacation. Our only issue was the television & if you’re used to streaming your programs it won’t be an issue. We highly recommend this cozy little place.
