Great Place to Stay

Good proximity to Charleston and surrounding area events. House was well stocked and clean. Clearly the host was thoughtful about providing for a everything you could need. Beds were comfortable. Traffic in the Charleston area is challenging; leave early and sigh greatly when you arrive back ‘home’!

Great Experience!

The location has amazing convenience to Charleston and beaches. The property is adorable and well stocked with all conveniences. The owner is professional and accommodating. The adjacent properties are really run down and neighborhood feels sketchy in some areas. Would definitely recommend this Vrbo as the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. We really enjoyed our stay

birding trip

We thought the house was a really good one. We liked that the older property had been rescued. Some of the older elements added a nice touch. We wondered about the property boundaries because we wanted to be outside and were not sure about where we should be in the yard. Our advice to the host would be to add deadbolts to the door or change the entry code for each guest to prevent unexpected guests showing up too soon and causing a problem. Great location for access to birding areas south of Charleston.

Much needed Beach getaway

We were charmed by Johns Island and this adorable VRBO. We spent much of our time on the area beaches which were about 30+ minutes drive. The area felt relaxing and friendly and we enjoyed sipping our coffees on the front porch. The host is friendly, helpful and responsive. Thank you Sarah for a much needed getaway!

Comfortable Cottage

This rental was in a great location on Johns Island and was very clean. The description was accurate. The beds made creaking noises which I am sure now could be resolved by the owner. We would rent here in the future.

Pros and Cons (esp. for families w/ young kids)

Pros: - Communication with host. Very prompt, professional, helpful - Cleanliness. - Amenities. Fully stocked kitchen & bathroom & convenient laundry - Decor. Cohesive aesthetic & design - Hospitality. The sign-in book, house binder, & cards were all a nice touch - Temperature. Thermostat worked well 3/4 days & there are overhead fans - Scenic drive to Kiawah Island - Close proximity to Angel Oak Tree Cons: - Sleeping. Smaller bed's mattress sags in middle horribly and frame creaks with smallest of movements. Chose to sleep on futon instead. Neighbor's rooster crowed every hour from 4-8am first 2 nights - Couch. Cute, but uncomfortable. Went to bed early instead of watching TV - Dining chairs. Covered in faux velvet, so we covered them with trash bags - Window shades. Bring tape for the sides Vacation Recommendations: - Simply Seafood; fresh, inexpensive, family-owned, close-by - Magnolia Plantation isn’t worth it in the winter months - Fort Sumter tour; the flag raising happens at 12 at the fort - Kiawah Beach; can see dolphins feeding! - Rita’s restaurant at Folly Beach - Rainbow Row, Provost Dungeon, waterfront parks

Lovely home and convenient location

Pictures do not do it justice. The home is so cutely decorated and you really are provided everything you need! A short and easy drive to Charleston so you can go enjoy the city day or night. Sarah provides coffee, a robust selection of spices if you like to stay in and cook and plenty of linens so you don’t need to pack extra! Would recommend staying here any day.

Cute Cottage!

The house was clean, cute and welcoming. It was a great location for us because we were attending a wedding on John’s island. I probably would not pick this location if I wanted to be near the city or the beach.

Convenient location and amenities

The location was convenient for travel to both the city and beach. The house itself was perfect for all of our family’s needs - clean and updated throughout, perfect kitchen appliances for our needs, laundry facilities that were easily accessible, and very comfortable living room furniture and beds! Also, the host was very responsive and welcoming. We will definitely use this location again when we travel back to the area.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt

Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles was man brauchte, war vorhanden. Die Unterkunft ist in einem Wohngebiet, was auf den Fotos nicht sofort zu erkennen ist. Die Nachbarschaft die man getroffen hat, war sehr nett. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
