Authentic Charleston

9 day stay. Authentic rear house on a classic 'side porch" Charleston home. Very private. Great communication with host. Convenient neighborhood. Place could have been a little cleaner and mattress a bit more comfortable. But all-in-all we had a wonderful stay!

Would not stay here again

The place is way overpriced for what it had to offer . The bed was totally uncomfortable , the bathroom sink would not drain you could hardly brush your teeth because the sink would not drain and would just leave standing water . Texted the people did nothing about it . So we spent 5 days brushing teeth in a flooded sink. Disgusting . Should really get some money back on this place. People need to check these places out . I am not sure how all these people who gave this a wonderful stay is thinking . The owners need to check out the place . One more thing offered chips to eat after looking at the date and they were all expired along with food in the cupboard. Two stars at the most .

Perfect Space for a Weekend in Charleston

The place was exactly as advertised and we had a great long weekend in Charleston. The location was close enough to walk to everything without being too close to the action. The host was very communicative and made sure the stay was great!

47 Kennedy St

Our stay was well worth it. Relatively convenient to downtown and getting out to remote attractions. Facility was quaint and clean. Only problem was online listing address (17 Kracke St) was not correct so some initial planning was a bit wasted. Check in address we received a couple days before was correct.

Southern charm

Just as described, a little oasis complete with a resident kitty who we loved! Perfect little porch and courtyard. Within walking distance to local cafes. Having a washer & dryer was an added bonus. Perfect for 1 or 2 people

Delayed, inaccurate, absent communication, unexpected cancellation!

Owner cancelled reservation the day we arrived to Charleston. We didn't know about the cancellation until we got off the airplane. Attempts to contact the owner were unsuccessful by our party as well as by the VRBO customer service. The listing is inaccurate. The description shows a labeled photo of a queen bed. The owner contacted me and asked if I was ok with a "twin" sized bed. I inquired about the online description and over a week later a reply was sent that it was "actually a full size". I cannot give a review of the actual property from the inside since the reservation was cancelled "due to the property being unavailable". There is a clause reserved for emergencies and unsafe conditions. The VRBO customer service rep was unable to solicit a response as to why the reservation was cancelled on such short notice leaving us without a place to stay. The lack of communication and misleading information is unprofessional and should be approached with caution if you chose to try this listing.

Very cute property. It was was within walking distance to my daughter's house so that was important to me. There was a little concern with the surroundings at the end of the street, but I encountered no problems. Enjoyed my stay.

Perfect Getaway

I was originally hesitant due to the lack of reviews but I was pleasantly surprised with how perfect this place was. Walking distance to King Street and lots of small coffee shops and restaurants to choose from while staying at this hidden oasis. Recommending to all of our friends that visit Charleston for a quick trip.

Cute & comfortable!

We enjoyed our 3 day stay so much .. 5 stars all the way! The hosts had quick communication ahead of our trip, and were very hospitable thinking of just about everything you could possibly need while staying in their cottage. We also appreciated such a dog friendly rental option since they are hard to come by & they really make pets feel welcome. Several restaurants & coffee shops within walking distance & just a short 7ish minute drive to downtown. The shared courtyard was heavenly and the neighborhood was quiet. It’s definitely only meant for one or two people, but my husband and I and our two small pups had plenty of space, the bed was comfortable, and the converted carriage house has so much character. Clean & comfortable - would absolutely stay here again!
