8 thumbs up!

Two adults, one teenager, one kiddo all stayed in this adorable studio-style cottage for our first ever family vacation. It was a great size for our needs, the kitchenette served its purpose perfectly, we loved being able to use the grill, the location was amazing, and the hot water never ran out! It seemed to be centrally located for all of our sightseeing and beach trips. Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage with us!

Great place to stay!

The propery was really easy to access and we were able to come and go without disturbing the host. The room was very clean and came with some complementary snacks and wine. 😍 The room accommodated my son(5), my husband and myself very well and didnt feel crowded. Over all this place is a 10/10 and we would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in the Charleston area again.

Wonderful Place to Stay!!!

My wife and I chose this bungalow based on the excellent reviews and it did not disappoint. It was perfect in every way. Just far enough from downtown but close enough to everything. We loved the private Bungalow as it had everything needed for an excellent stay. Tricia and Will make the stay easy and even provided a nice bottle of wine as a nice little touch. Highly recommend renting this place if you visit Charleston!!

Cozy Spot in Great Neighborhood

This spot is studio apartment-like. It was in the perfect location to explore Charleston and the surrounding areas. Walking distance to grocery stores, cafes and frozen yogurt A short Uber Ride to Sullivan's Island, Shem Creek. Rented bikes to get into downtown Charleston in 15 minutes from the house. Place has everything you need.

Barrett Bungalow

Small but very comfortable separate building on the owners’ property in a mature, quiet development. Separate off-street parking with a private access to a private courtyard. Place was perfect for the two of us. It would have been tight with four people (max occupancy). Convenient to downtown Charleston (averaged about a 15 minute drive). Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and the accommodations!

Comfy Charleston Getaway

This is a perfect place for a couple. It is small, but it is everything you need. It was well stocked with bathroom and kitchen supplies. The hosts even had a bottle of red and white wine and snacks waiting on us. They were very quick to respond to any messages. It’s clean and has a separate entrance from the main house. It’s only minutes from downtown, about a 10 minute drive. Definitely recommend.

Cute little place

The house was adorable-very cozy. Decorated so nicely. The neighborhood was excellent! We enjoyed the walk ability of the area. The greenway was just houses away. On the down side, the bathroom had a step in it which I missed the first day we were there and it left a pretty good goose egg on my knee. Also the bathroom shower curtain had mildew on it.

Stop looking!

Beautiful little nautical cottage in a converted garage. Lovely old residential neighborhood but really close (.5 mi.) to great shops and restaurants, a vibrant local scene not in the vortex of tourist Charleston but if you want to, it's a close drive over a bridge into town. Way too many thoughtful touches to list, everything you could possibly need is included. I have stayed in a dozen or so of these properties around the country and this is the star.

Just one comment

The bathroom had a step up to the toilet and bath. Several times I stumbled due to holding clothing in my hands (I was able to catch myself and did not fall). A handrail or yellow tape on the step up might help older people like me. Also I used the tub and realized there was no bar to help me get out.

only one thing wrong...

Darling little bungalow, tastefully furnished, with plenty of kitchen supplies and linens, a comfortable queen bed and a nice open sunny patio with surrounding privacy walls (gated). The only problem was that it smelled like old cigarette smoke which wouldn't clear after five days with windows and door open! Even our clothes smelled of stale cigarette smoke when we unpacked them at home. Other than that it was charming.

Perfect little bungalow

I took my daughter for a mother-daughter trip prior to her heading off to college, and this was the perfect spot! Close to everything we wanted to do in Charleston, including King Street. Our host thought of everything, including local treats and tips for places to eat/drink in the area. The bed was comfy, the shower fantastic, and the kitchen had everything you need for a short stay. Highly recommend!! We’ll be back!

Great location. Great communication/instructions. Wonderful suggestions for local restaurants and sightseeing. Studio cottage just as advertised. Lots of very thoughtful extras (full size ironing board, toiletries, selection of coffee pods). Wine and crackers was a wonderful surprise! Wouldn't hesitate to book again!!!
