The space
The two-story house - constructed with repurposed wood - is furnished and decorated in modern coastal farmhouse style, contains 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Reminiscence of a slower paced time, a feeling of calm and relaxation will engulf you while you enjoy all of the amenities required for today's fast paced lifestyle.
The “low country” style front porch has four rocking chairs, two love seats, and two end tables. Your group can sit and share stories about the days’ sights and activities, relax with coffee & tea in the morning, or enjoy cocktails in the evening.
The screened-in back porch has comfortable seating for five and two end tables. It is a wonderful private and quiet area to relax.
A seashell covered sitting area in the backyard includes a propane fire table.
On-street parking spaces are available in front of the house but are not guaranteed. A parking spot is also available behind the house using the shared driveway.
Corrugated metal roof, reclaimed wood siding from a 150-year old barn in Ohio, and a low, open porch with peg and post barn beams define the character of this Low Country style cottage. The allure continues inside with reclaimed wood flooring milled from beams taken from the 155-year old former Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn, New York.
The large “Ensuite” main bedroom is located on the second floor and includes a king size bed with a Simmons plush top mattress is so comfortable you will look forward to going to bed every night and not want to get out of bed in the morning.
Two cozy chairs and a small table are set next to a bay of three south facing windows which provide plenty of natural light. This is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or sit in the afternoon sun and read.
A large walk-in closet rounds out the main bedroom with plenty of space to hang your clothes and store luggage and other belongings.
The primary living space is found on the first floor. Two bedrooms – one containing a queen size bed and the other with two twin size beds – share the first floor with a bathroom and an open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen.
The bedrooms are furnished with unique, eclectic pieces in the coastal farmhouse style. The Serta plush top mattresses provide for a pleasant sleeping experience.

Other things to note
Be aware that you may see Palmetto bugs, a relative of cockroaches, and other insects in or around the house. Insects are very common in the South Carolina Low Country. While they prefer outside habitats, their wanderings will occasionally take them inside where you may encounter them. We do have monthly scheduled treatments around the house and inside as needed.
