Charming family-friendly casita 5 min to downtown, 15 min to beach

Arguably the most convenient location in Charleston! This vibrant 1970’s bungalow is just 5 minutes from downtown and 8 miles from Folly Beach. Walking distance to a shopping center with grocery store, restaurants, bars, coffee shop, gas station, and bank! The home offers 2 queen bedrooms and a room with a twin XL over queen bunk bed, great for kids and comfortable for adults, so everyone has a cozy spot. The fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with tub, and screen porch provide all the comforts of home + local artwork, noteworthy books, and eclectic trinkets from around the world. The fenced-in backyard is perfect for kids to play safely.

The convenience of this location can’t be beat: 2 miles to MUSC, 2.8 miles to King Street shopping, and 8 miles to Folly Beach, 1.3 miles to local music venue, the Charleston Pour House, 6 miles to Johns Island.

The house is located on a quiet street, local traffic only. Tons of tiny frogs in the yard. Catching them makes for great entertainment for kids (and adults!)

Note: This home is a duplex, my mother lives next door with her friendly blue heeler named Blue —he loves kids and might ask to join in the fun, though the yards are securely separated.

Amenities:
- Parking: Private driveway for 3 cars (or a boat!), plus additional street parking.
- Entertainment: Cornhole, family board games, kid games, toy basket, pack'n play with crib sheet, and an extra TV in the bunk room for movie nights.
- Outdoor: Fenced-in backyard for kids and pets, and a relaxing screen porch.
- Work & Connectivity: Fast WiFi and a desk in the front bedroom, perfect for a work-cation.
- Kitchen: Fully equipped with all the essentials for cooking at home.
- Laundry: Washer and dryer available for your convenience.
- Bonus: Discounted spa services next door with a professional massage therapist.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

All was as described. Kids loved their room. Jessica was super friendly and responsive. When a hiccup happened, she dealt with it right away. Highly recommend.

This was perfect! 5 minutes to downtown Charleston, all on one floor (we are 3 seniors). Bedrooms were good sized with closet space and the beds were very comfortable. Galley kitchen is laid out well and there is a washer and dryer. Cute little screened porch and lovely back yard although we didn't use either of those. We were delighted with the accommodations and would definitely stay there again!

Our stay in Charleston!

We were in Charleston for a tax conference and decided to take the hubby and kiddos along. We found the casita online and loved it! It was such a cozy place to stay in. Clean and great location. Our host was very nice. We will definitely consider staying there again, if we are ever in SC again!

Adorable home close with fast access to downtown!

Quiet area but still super fast to get downtown, super clean and cozy. We had 5 people that easily spaced out amongst the 3 bedrooms. Jessica was wonderful with instructions and communication! Highly recommend.

Gigi and Gramps camp

Grand daughter wanted to visit College of Charleston, check out Folly Beach, and do the outer Banks boat tour. Perfect location for all of those activities. Loved the house. Enjoyed the screened in porch. Appreciated the lightly stocked kitchen with a few basics, the Brita filter, extras in the bathroom, and phone chargers. Very thoughtful add ons. Decor was very fun. Great art work and fun books! Also enjoyed the next door dog! Thanks for a great stay!

Great VRBO!

This duplex was great! Quiet neighborhood with good proximity to all the places you might want to go without being in a busy, more urban area. Accurate description, down to the tiny frogs. Great communication and quick resolve of a small issue upon check in. Thanks!
