Island Hideout

We had a lovely time! Arrived through a gate; inside yard was pretty, with table seating, an outdoor shower, and plenty of parking. Inside were two queen beds and a fold-down couch (could comfortable hold only one person), one bathroom with a shower, a kitchen (with dishes/pots/utensils), and a laundry/dryer room with lockable door (shared with second floor tenants). Two TVs with subscriptions to Netflix and Prime, plenty of sheets and towels, shampoo/conditioner/soap provided. Beach was an 8 min drive away; we found plenty to do during the two nights we stayed. Thank you!

Stayed here to visit my son who recently moved to Charleston. The space was perfect and within driving distance of many points of interest. It had everything you could ask for. The bed was so.....comfy and the shower was wonderful. The property was very clean. The beach chairs were a nice feature. We will be back .

Great location with easy access to downtown charleston and folly beach. Good set up up for 2-3:people. Would rent again

Lovely spot and great location on James Island. Perfect place to come back to after a day of beach and exploring Charleston. Super easy check in and check out process, and the hosts were proactively communicative and super friendly. Highly recommend!

Like the island location. Easy to travel around the area as close to Charleston downtown, beaches and other islands. Hosts were very helpful and responded immediately when needed.

My mom recently moved to Bishop Gadsden (a retirement home) and no longer has a guest bedroom to stay in, so my siblings and I looked into alternatives (hotel, stay with friends, etc…) Island Retreat is the PERFECT solution. It’s one of three properties on the “compound”. It’s clean, safe and so easy, which is just what I need. It’s also close to the Walmart if you need anything. I will say the bathroom is teensy (no counter space at all and a tiny shower) so I think it wouldn’t be great for a group of friends - just something to keep in mind. Other than that it’s pretty much perfect.

It was a lovely stay. One of the best features was the outdoor shower for cleaning off after going to the beach! So convenient. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Appreciate an easy check in system and the security of the gate! Location was fantastic, central to folly, west Ashley, downtown, mount pleasant… all places we wanted to visit. I got to run away to Starbucks one morning for an hour to read and my husband and 7 year old were able to easily bike up to where I was to then hop in the car to go down to the beach so I loved how’s bike-able this location was. Inside, things were nicely labeled so you knew where EVERYTHING was. Fresh sheets and bedspreads, clean floors and bathroom. Air purifier in central location. Generously left snacks on counter. Enjoyed it :)

We loved this stay! It was the perfect spot in between Folly and Charleston. Although we didn't hang around the property too much due to a wedding, it was comfortable enough for 5 people and would have been a cool place to hang and cook dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

It was good

Perfect landing place between the beach and downtown. Check In was easy, grocery store, gas stations all near by. Would definitely stay here again.

This was a short beach trip, and it was a great place to stay.
