We love making guests feel at home with Southern hospitality — from small welcome touches to local recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and things to do.

I give guests their privacy but am always nearby if needed. I’m happy to share local recommendations or help with anything that makes your stay more comfortable — just send me a message anytime!

Welcome to laid-back James Island, where locals slow down, neighbors wave, and beach days blend into easy evenings. This quiet, safe neighborhood offers the best of both worlds — just 10 minutes from downtown Charleston’s historic charm and 10 minutes from Folly Beach’s surf and sunsets.

You’ll be surrounded by the local favorites that make Charleston special — cozy coffee shops, fresh seafood spots, and Lowcountry breweries tucked among oak trees and Spanish moss. It’s the kind of place where you can start your morning with a walk at James Island County Park, spend the afternoon exploring downtown or Folly, and be back in time to unwind on your patio under the stars.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, local experience that feels more like home than a hotel, this is it — a peaceful island retreat close to everything you came to Charleston to enjoy.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a balcony and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

The property was very clean and we had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable too. We only stayed one night, and looking back, I wish I would have booked two nights. It was a short drive into downtown Charleston—less than 15 minutes.

The quarters were very spacious and modern, and they have a very welcoming vibe. There were some very nice touches, such as a basket of snacks and bottled water, as well as extra blankets, a hair dryer and an iron and ironing board.The host was very responsive and he clearly wants to make sure his guests are happy. We flew into CHS for my son's wedding on Johns Island, and we enjoyed our stay very much!

Excellent little VRBO!!! If you are in the Charleston area ad want to be close to everything like the beach, all the attractions and Market St. Restaurants, then this is the place for you. Quiet neighborhood with no traffic is a plus after running around the city. The hosts were excellent. You can't go wrong with this place.
