INCLEMENT WEATHER
Your safety and comfort are our priority. In the unlikely event of a MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR CHARLESTON COUNTY during your stay, rest assured that both the Owner/Host and the Property Management Company WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR PAYMENTS for the dates of evacuation. Once refunded, neither party will have further liability regarding your Reservation.
Please note that ONLY MANDATORY EVACUATIONS WILL QUALIFY FOR REFUNDS. No other travel disruptions due to weather, whether in South Carolina or other states, are eligible. For protection, consider travel insurance, especially in high-risk months like hurricane season. Airbnb`s insurance or other options are recommended.
INSECTS
As Charleston is situated in a warm, coastal climate it is possible to see insects inside or outside of the home at times. These include palmetto bugs, sand gnats, mosquitoes, ants, etc. Those who reside in the Lowcountry just accept this as part of living here but it may be unsettling for those from other areas. The home is treated regularly for pest control but this will not entirely eliminate insects from getting inside at times. Please do your best to not keep doors and windows open and not leave food or drinks out in the home as this will attract insects. FINDING AN INSECT IS NOT CAUSE FOR A REFUND.
We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist with any inquiries. We look forward to your visit.

Very nice, clean, cute decor. Keurig coffee maker, microwave, fridge and freezer very convenient. Location was perfect, very private in a nice neighborhood but also very close to a main road with multiple restaurants, stores, gas stations. Downtown Charleston about 5 miles away. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if in Charleston area.

We enjoyed this cozy updated and clean apartment. Communication with owner is great because they live next door. Our trip was in April and it did begin to get too warm. There is a split ac unit but it is in a location that doesn’t reach the bedroom well. I would absolutely stay again but not later in the year than this time. We enjoyed our trip-they thought of everything for comfort. You can tell they love to make this a true vacation getaway.

Five Stars!
My husband and I stayed here for five nights -- everything about the place was excellent. Great location. Sparkling clean. Plush towels (and lots of them). Wonderful little touches throughout. Good communication with the property manager. Usually I shy away from properties that are professionally managed (I prefer the personal touch of an owner/manager), but this place was perfect. Thanks!

Great stay in Charleston
This spot suited our itinerary in Charleston very well. It was close enough to the airport to make an early morning flight more bearable but the drive to historic Charleston was easy and short. About 15 min from airport, 15 min from downtown and 15 min from The Magnolia plantation. The small touches in the house made it especially homey and welcoming. We loved our stay!

Coastal Retreat is a comfortable accommodation in a residential neighborhood, away from the traffic of downtown but with easy access to all points of interest. King St business district was only a 10 minute drive, Isle of Palms and Folly Beach were reached within 25 minutes. Apartment was clean and quiet.
