About this property

Clean, Private Guesthouse-9 min. to Downtown Charleston, 15 min. to FollyBeach!

Welcome to your home away from home! This guest house private, with its own entrance, and is attached to a main house. It sleeps 4, with 2 in the queen bed, 1 on an air mattress and 1 on a Lucid folding mattress. We provide WiFi, toiletries, linens & towels, clothes iron, hair dryer, full kitchen, beach essentials, coffee & tea. Watch waterfowl while sitting by the serene backyard creek, or go on an adventure to Folly or downtown.

Centrally located for your beach getaway, or business trip. James Island is close to everything, and very easy to get to.

In addition to the bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, and living room, our backyard is a wonderful place to hang out. We have large picnic table, a charcoal grill, a hot tub, a large garden, and a fire pit. So much to enjoy as you are waterfront. You are even welcome to fish in the waterway (catch & release), or use our kayaks for a jaunt down the estuary. Please note: our backyard is shared with other guests from two other units.

We have a smart TV with many apps to enjoy.

We can only accommodate two guest vehicles. We give you a code to enter on the keypad a few days before you arrive. You can check in anytime after 4pm. We charge a $50 early check-in/late check-out fee.

We live locally and are available to address any issues that may arise during your stay or to answer any questions.

No smoking, drugs, or parties.

There is a creek behind the house. If you let your children into the backyard, please be aware that the creek is attached, and be water safe.

We provide a bag of beach essentials, which includes beach towels, beach chairs (4), which you are welcome to use during your stay. Does not include snorkeling gear.

We are centrally located on James Island, about 10 minutes from Downtown Charleston, 15 to Folly Beach, close to historical landmarks, restaurants, museums, and tons of fun things to do. The closest beach is about five minutes down the road. We are close to shops, museums, restaurants, and entertainment. There is a grocery store one block away (with a Starbucks inside).

Please note: Our property is located on a busy street, and some traffic noise may be noticeable, particularly during busier times of day. This is a permanent feature of the location and is unfortunately not something we can change. If you are especially sensitive to traffic or street noise, we encourage you to choose a property in a quieter setting that may be better suited to your preferences. We want to make sure our home is the right fit for your stay!

Uber or Lyft are your best bet if you don’t bring a vehicle. It is a short Uber ride to downtown. Feel free to use our grass to turn your car around on. Being on a busy street, it’s easier to pull onto the street when facing forward.

The cleaning fee is based on a "courteous guest". Any excessive dirtiness or neglect will accrue an additional $95 fee.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a patio, and a sofa bed.

We stayed for 1 week from May 20 - May 27th. The home was very clean and well maintained. Allow it is located on a busy street, it’s so quiet and there’s no road noise. The location was perfect. It’s located on an easy on and off street with great restaurants close by. The back yard was a relaxing place to retreat after a busy day exploring the city of Charleston. We would definitely stay again.

This place is great! Very close to everything we wanted to do and the host left us a great list of recommendations. I found myself looking back at her list often. It was so good, I even asked to stay another night haha. Not only did we have a great experience but I truly feel like we got our moneys worth. The house is on a busy street and the host makes that very clear but I had no problem sleeping.
