Cozy Retreat for 2

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The accommodations are as presented, perfect for two located in a quiet neighborhood and close to Charleston airport. The property manager was very accommodating and even brought us beach, towels, cooler and Bluetooth speaker for our beach day:) Highly recommend this property!

The Best In The Land!

This was our first time ever to Charleston SC. It was for our 20th anniversary. I will tell you it did not disappoint. It met our expectations, the communication was fast and reliable. And our stay was AMAZING! I highly recommend this spot. 5 star is an understatement. This deserves a 10 star! Thanks again, and we will be back!

Fantastic stay in darling bungalow

We had such a great stay at this VRBO. First of all Jabari the host was very communicative and let us know in advance of our stay that the place would be ready earlier in the day if needed. We were then greeted by a bottle of champagne and a host of snacks when we first arrived, He also had bottled waters and soda waters in the refrigerator for us. The rental itself is so aesthetically pleasing in cleanliness, colors, comfort and amenities. Bed was super comfortable. Love to get all around Charleston. Thank you so much helping to make our stay so memorable! 5 Stars PLUS!!!!

Perfect location and extremely well kept.

This was exactly what we were looking for. It felt like a perfect location to everything. We went to a concert in North Charleston, then the next day went downtown to King Street, then the next day flew out from the airport.. and we were in a central location of it all! The owner was super responsive and catered to all of our needs. This was probably the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had. He ever left a bottle of champagne for us and had quiet music playing when we got there, which we very much appreciated. He also left some snacks and chips for us that we snacked on. Overall this was an incredible experience and we would love to come back.

Very nice, clean, cute decor. Keurig coffee maker, microwave, fridge and freezer very convenient. Location was perfect, very private in a nice neighborhood but also very close to a main road with multiple restaurants, stores, gas stations. Downtown Charleston about 5 miles away. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if in Charleston area.

Highly Recommend

We enjoyed this cozy updated and clean apartment. Communication with owner is great because they live next door. Our trip was in April and it did begin to get too warm. There is a split ac unit but it is in a location that doesn’t reach the bedroom well. I would absolutely stay again but not later in the year than this time. We enjoyed our trip-they thought of everything for comfort. You can tell they love to make this a true vacation getaway.

This place was a great place to stay! We really appreciated the little touches of extra phone chargers, beach towels and stuff like that. We do wish the water would have been warmer or stayed warmer for longer but other than that we absolutely loved this place and would definitely stay again!

Five Stars!

My husband and I stayed here for five nights -- everything about the place was excellent. Great location. Sparkling clean. Plush towels (and lots of them). Wonderful little touches throughout. Good communication with the property manager. Usually I shy away from properties that are professionally managed (I prefer the personal touch of an owner/manager), but this place was perfect. Thanks!

Great stay in Charleston

This spot suited our itinerary in Charleston very well. It was close enough to the airport to make an early morning flight more bearable but the drive to historic Charleston was easy and short. About 15 min from airport, 15 min from downtown and 15 min from The Magnolia plantation. The small touches in the house made it especially homey and welcoming. We loved our stay!
