Backyard oasis w/ HOT TUB, near downtown, beach & boat landing

Summary:
This beautifully renovated home with a new hot tub located in Riverland Terrace neighborhood of James Island is less than 5 miles from Downtown and 9 miles to Folly Beach. Walk to restaurants, bars, golf course, waterfront park with playground and boat landing, movie theater, and music venue 🎸 – or just stroll around the oak and moss-cloaked neighborhood 🌳

3 bedrooms, 2 full baths (luxe master suite rain shower🚿), open kitchen/ living, hot tub on the back deck in your private fenced yard, in the most sought-after neighborhood in Charleston. You’re going to wish you lived here.

The Space:
Designed with a focus on open, airy, and social feels. This stylish coastal farmhouse design feels homey and comfortable with an ideal layout for indoor and outdoor entertaining. Thoughtful, family-friendly amenities, and a great setup for dogs, kids, (and kids at heart!)

Enjoy your coffee and cocktails on the shaded back deck. Or in the hot tub! The backyard is surrounded by an 7ft. privacy fence, lots of space for lawn games, admiring native foliage, and still room to park your boat trailer! (The Wapoo Creek boat landing is right down the street!)

The beautiful kitchen centers around a large island and features unique leathered granite countertops, farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, soft-close shaker cabinets, and under cabinet lighting.

Smart TVs in all the rooms. The luxurious master suite offers an ensuite wet bar/coffee station, memory foam king bed (that you’ll want to buy for your own house), large closet and sliding glass door to access the private back deck, large backyard, and hot tub. The master bathroom has a marble vanity top, massive shower with rain shower head, wand, and marble corner bench.

The 2 guest bedrooms get beautiful sunlight and have comfy and supportive memory foam queen beds and blackout curtains, TVs and spacious closets. The full hall bath offers a tub with tile surround, tiled bath floors and linen closet.

The study/sitting area located between the master suite and dining room includes a desk and small couch with twin pullout bed. This room can be closed off from the main living area to provide an additional sleeping quarters (or a great spot for the pack-n-play crib, which we provide).

The private back deck has a cafe table for enjoying morning coffee or a meal. The large laundry room offers washer and dryer, tile floors, additional storage and access to the back deck and backyard. The driveway has ample parking for 5 cars. For guest convenience we provide coffee, sugar, bath and beach towels, bed linens, paper towels, toilet paper, and soaps. We are sure you will find this house provides all the comforts of home and then some!

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire home.

The Neighborhood:
Built in the 1940s on what was once a thriving indigo plantation, the Riverland Terrace neighborhood inherited the plantation's stately Avenue of Oaks, now framing Wappoo Drive. The neighborhood is bordered by the Stono River and Wappoo Cut waterways and boasts a waterfront playground (currently under construction), free public boat landing, municipal golf course, a retro movie theater, hip music venue and a number of well-reviewed restaurants. All within walking distance! This is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Charleston. Locals love it here, and you will too.

Getting Around:
Riverland Terrace is centrally located 9 miles from Folly Beach and less than 5 miles from Historic Downtown Charleston. Uber and Lyft are plentiful and affordable.

House was beautiful and in a great location to visit Charleston and the surrounding areas. Everything was well stocked and the hot tub was a great addition to relax in at night. We were on a friends trip, but this house is set up great for families as well!

This is my second time staying at this location- I would book it again and highly recommend it! The location is close to drive to downtown charleston but its a comfortable, quiet neighborhood, less hectic thank staying downtown. The fenced in back yard is great if you have a dog, it feels private. The place is as pictured/described and had everything I needed for my stay. Also there are restaurants and grocery stores a short drive away. Folly beach is also a short drive away.

What a beautiful place to stay! Our entire family stayed for a week! We had an amazing stay with all the comforts of home!! The home was very clean and clearly well taken care of! The backyard was also very nice and fenced in! Though we didn't bring our dog, we easily could have and I would've felt comfortable with her in the backyard while we ran about town!

Excellent place!

I stayed for a business trip in Charleston, but I brought my dog so didn't want to be in downtown. This is a great location in James Island and not far from Folly beach. The place was very pet friendly with a great fenced in yard! The house had everything I needed and the master bathroom shower was pretty deluxe. Also nice sized kitchen if you did want to cook. Neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, felt like I had privacy. Definitely would book again!
