Welcome to your home away from home! This guest house private, with its own entrance, and is attached to a main house. It sleeps 4, with 2 in the queen bed, 1 on an air mattress and 1 on a Lucid folding mattress. We provide WiFi, toiletries, linens & towels, clothes iron, hair dryer, full kitchen, beach essentials, coffee & tea. Watch waterfowl while sitting by the serene backyard creek, or go on an adventure to Folly or downtown.

Centrally located for your beach getaway, or business trip. James Island is close to everything, and very easy to get to.

In addition to the bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, and living room, our backyard is a wonderful place to hang out. We have large picnic table, a gas grill, a hot tub, a large garden, and a fire pit. So much to enjoy as you are waterfront. You are even welcome to fish in the waterway (catch & release), or use our canoe for a jaunt down the estuary. Please note: our backyard is shared with other guests.

We have a smart TV with many apps to enjoy.

We can only accommodate two guest vehicles. We give you a code to enter on the keypad a few days before you arrive. You can check in anytime after 4pm. We charge a $50 early check-in/late check-out fee, and can only guarantee we can accommodate it on the day of arrival/check out.

We live locally and are available to address any issues that may arise during your stay or to answer any questions.

No smoking, drugs, or parties.

There is a creek behind the house. If you let your children into the backyard, please be aware that the creek is attached, and be water safe.

We have some laying hens, whom you may see free ranging around the backyard.

We provide a bag of beach essentials, which includes beach towels, beach chairs (4), and sunscreen, which you are welcome to use during your stay. Does not include snorkeling gear.


We are centrally located on James Island, about 10 minutes from Downtown Charleston, 15 to Folly Beach, close to historical landmarks, restaurants, museums, and tons of fun things to do. The closest beach is about five minutes down the road. We are close to shops, museums, restaurants, and entertainment. There is a grocery store one block away (with a Starbucks inside).

One thing to note: We are on a busy street. Please do not book if being on a busy street will bother you, as there is nothing we can do to change this, and bad reviews are unfair based on our location. Most of our negative reviews have been because of the busy street, which we cannot control. All we can do is be very clear about it, and request that because our guests know this before booking, that they do not leave a negative review based on something we cannot control or change. Thank you for your understanding with this. Most of our guests have given us glowing reviews The best place I've stayed in for my entire 3,000 mile road trip, etc. You will love our place, including our peaceful and serene backyard. But if busy streets are an issue, please don't book our place.

Uber or Lyft are your best bet if you don’t bring a vehicle. It is a short Uber ride to downtown. Feel free to use our grass to turn your car around on. Being on a busy street, it’s easier to pull onto the street when facing forward.

The cleaning fee is based on a courteous guest. Any excessive dirtiness or neglect will accrue an additional $95 fee.

    We loved this stay, the location was perfect as it was 5 minutes away from our Son's house. The property was very clean and very accommodating. We would recommend this property to anyone coming to Charleston. Short drive to downtown and Folly Beach, one of our favorite places to visit.

    We stopped for two nights in Charleston and booked this cute cottage. The owner, Sarah was extremely helpful before check-in and during our stay. A very nice extra were farm fresh eggs available for our enjoyment. They were delicious! The proximity to Charleston city center was close, but not within walking distance. The property is on a busy road. If mild road noise doesn't bother you then you wouldn't notice.

    My wife and I enjoyed our stay. This property was just as described in the listing. The location was perfect for those who don’t want to stay in the city itself. The rental was clean, nicely appointed, and some fun treats and surprises were left for us to enjoy...even some fresh eggs from the property hens. The rental was near restaurants, excursions, and just a short drive to the city. We enjoyed a day at The Magnolia Plantation, a boat ride over to Fort Sumter(I got to help raise the flag for the day), City Market, two separate carriage rides(historical and ghost), and enjoyed many great meals. The hosts were very nice and easily contacted if needed. You won't be disappointed with this great rental.

    We had a great experience staying here. Sarah is a host who will go above and beyond to help - and she was always quick to respond. The location was perfect! Most activities were 10-15 min away. We stayed here with our 4 year old, and we had plenty of space. Access to the neat backyard was also very much appreciated. Would highly recommend staying here!

    This place is very cozy. Our grandkids age 12 and 8 loved it. Sarah provides everything you can think of to make your stay comfy and relaxing. There are all kinds of extras. We accidentally left our grandsons hoodie. Sarah was very accommodating in shipping his shirt back to us. We definitely recommend a stay here!
