The Isla Suite: A Dream Getaway for Friends
The Isla Suite is a vibrant first-floor retreat in beautiful Charleston, crafted for an unforgettable friends’ group getaway. Positioned just steps from downtown’s premier cocktail bars, top-rated restaurants, and boutique shopping, this property places your group at the heart of the city’s lively scene. Three pristine beaches, perfect for group outings, are only a 15-minute drive away.
The outdoor areas are designed for group relaxation and fun. The inviting front porch is ideal for morning coffee or evening toasts, while the professionally turfed courtyard features a grill, pergola, dining table, and seating, creating a perfect backdrop for group barbecues or late-night chats.
Step inside to a tropical, modern interior tailored for group enjoyment. The kitchen, painted a soothing muted green, is fully equipped with sleek appliances and ample counter space, great for preparing shared meals or mixing cocktails. Off the kitchen, the living room features a table that seats four, ideal for intimate breakfasts or small group game nights. While you’ll likely be out exploring all Charleston has to offer, the spacious living room, with its luxurious leather sofa, is a great place to relax in the morning or unwind with group conversations in the evening.
The suite comfortably hosts up to eight friends across four thoughtfully designed bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a king bed and a cozy reading nook. The second king bedroom includes a desk for planning group adventures. The third bedroom offers a queen bed and additional workspace, while the fourth is a versatile bunk room. Each bedroom includes blackout curtains, small fans, and sound machines to ensure everyone wakes refreshed.
Two well-appointed bathrooms streamline group routines. One features a separate vanity and shower, ideal for shared prep time. The other includes a dual vanity, shower-tub combination, and a premium bidet-equipped toilet for added luxury. An in-unit washer and dryer allow your group to pack light and stay fresh.
The Isla Suite is the ultimate base for groups exploring Charleston’s historic charm, hitting downtown hotspots, or relaxing on nearby beaches. This dog-friendly property welcomes furry friends upon request.
P.S. While tailored for friends’ getaways, The Isla Suite is also well-suited for romantic couples’ retreats or family vacations, with amenities including a Pack+Play, bamboo dishes, and a highchair available.

Great property, great location!
The property was as described, very nice and extremely spacious. The unit was well maintained, decorated awesome and stocked with everything you could need. The property was within walking distance of the main shopping and dinning area. This was about a 10 to 15 minute walk to all the action. Brandy was very helpful and provided a wealth of information for our stay. The property is also in a good location for a quick drive to any of the surrounding beaches.

Good location
Although just off an occasionally busy road the location was ok, with a choice of coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. Our group of 4 found the kitchen and dining area a bit small but two of the bedrooms were a good size. A third bedroom was a bit noisy with large aircon unit right outside window. Bathrooms were also on the small side but very clean and functional. Decent place for a short stay.

Great house for two couples and three teens!
We loved our stay here with friends - four adults and three teens. It was a perfect size for us and the property is very cute. We were able to walk to several fun restaurants and had no trouble parking on the street in front of the house. (We're not 100% sure if we were legally parked there, but it seemed to work. We didn't get towed or booted ; ) The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with - we would stay here again. Love Charleston!...

Beautiful Charleston home (1st floor of 2-story home)
Very beautiful property. All the supplied were there, particularly for kids. Pack'n'play and high chair notably. Pets permitted (owners provided a sofa cover blanket to put over the sofa for our dog). Washer/dryer nice to have. The guide book and information on local restaurants, bars, museums, and activities was very helpful. Kitchen well-stocked for cooking with everything you'll need. Fridge/freezer was one of these modern small ones, but enough space for a week's worth of food prep and storage.
In terms of upstairs guests and potential noise, the only issue is whether dogs left at home when owners are away should be crated or not. The rental did not specify rules on this. The dog upstairs would be very loud when its owners were out of the unit. Not just barking but walking/running back and forth on the wood floors. Our dog was crated at the back of the house (no noise) when we were out of the unit.
Lovely location in a cute neighborhood with many dining options, including great variety and high quality. Roughly 30-minute walk to main historical district. Pedi-cabs, rideshares, and bikeshares were used by many in the neighborhood to get back and forth to the historical district. Though the walk is very lovely. Very safe and easy to get around.
