The Teacup Cottage was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Just enough room for 2 with beautiful decor and a great location for enjoying Summerville and Charleston. The kitchen had everything you would need for a meal. The shower was amazing. The owner was easy to communicate with.

I loved my stay at this beautiful vacation rental in Summerville. It was peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to relax and explore, while still being close to grocery stores and the charming historic downtown area. The apartment itself was absolutely beautiful—full of charm and so thoughtfully decorated. The hosts were wonderful and made everything easy. A delightful place to stay, and I'd gladly return.

Weekend stay in Summerville

We had a great stay at the Tea Cup Cottage. It shares the property with the owner’s house, but the cottage is completely detached and very private. The cottage is newly built, very well appointed and clean, and very comfortable. Easy walk to downtown and everything historic Summerville has to offer, but also a full kitchen with the necessities to cook in should you choose to. We highly recommend the Tea Cup Cottage!
