    This rental was a sweet surprise. I don’t think the pictures do it justice. The property is a feast of beautiful flowers and plants, birds, and grand old oaks. The cottage is full of Southern charm. The owners’ added extra touches made our stay so very comfortable. I can’t wait to go back!!

    Lovely property. Loads of beautiful flowers and trees surrounding the house with many butterfies and birds. Plenty of space to move about outside, if you wanted to. Simply lovely.

    Even though we visited during hurricane Debby, the house was high and dry. Our Host kept us informed of the local weather issues and what roads were safe. We were able to have a great time and did not mind getting wet.

    Having never visited Charleston truly...this was the perfect place to stay! My husband and I had celebrated our 10th wedding Anniversary 2 years ago in Savannah. And after appreciating the architecture and the Beauty of that city, we decided to sit our normal Birthday Celebrations Week, out from taking the camper this time and playing in the woods to seek and learn and see what Charleston was about. Now saying all that, having never been we were seeking more a solitude get-a-way to retrieve back to after a long City day of exploring...and Marianne and David had provided exactly just that! A peaceful retreat! The cottage had everything you could think of as far as essentials, and it was kept very clean and tastefully decorated. I loved the front porch being able to unwind and enjoy the views of The Live Oaks. And upon departure, we were able to meet both Marianne and David, and they were such a lovely couple! If we were to ever return, we would definitely stay here again! Thanks for the Hospitality!! Kindly, The Albersons

    The cottage was perfect for my husband and I with all the comforts of home. Marianne the host was amazing and quite insight on where to eat, hike and what beaches to go. Summerville is a year trip for us and as long as the cottage is open this is where we will stay!!

    This was the perfect place for our week visit. The property is beautiful and quiet. The house was clean and met our needs. I slept great on the mattress. Normally I don't sleep well and wake up very early. I slept in for once. Marianne and her family were very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our time there.
