Spring break for the aged

The place was the right size for two couples spending several days in Charleston. The view each morning was lovely and the place was relaxing to come back to each evening. Parking is very easy & the kitchen and laundry room had all we needed. Beds very comfortable and everything is very clean & new.

Perfect Relaxation Spot

The place was very clean and it smelled clean as soon as you walked into the place. The place was very well stocked with everything that you need for your stay. The view of the waterfront was gorgeous and our Shih Tzu loved sitting on the porch and looking at the scenery as much as we did. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time staying in this excellently equipped apartment! Kids could play soccer on the vast premises and the host even provided kayaks for exploring Clark Sound. We felt very welcome will definitely choose this accomodation when in Charleston again!

Great time with the family. The views are amazing. The kids had a great time on the dock. We were able to watch dolphins and pelicans catching fish. A visiting duck on our first night was so fun to interact with.

Great stay with great views

This place was clean & comfortable! It was just a short 10-15 minute drive into downtown Charleston. Beautiful outdoor space with abundant bature. We saw dolphins playing and beautiful birds (and it rained most of the weekend)! Would definitely stay again just to witness the sunrise and subsets here.

Unbelievable view

We couldn’t have chosen a better spot! We came for a concert and to be close to Folly beach. It was the perfect location and very private! Our favorite part was the view and tables under the string lights at night playing games. Thank you for hosting us!

Peaceful and quiet gem

We absolutely loved our stay! The setting was beautiful and serene. Every detail was thought of in the unit; there wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. We saw pelicans, herons, dolphins, squirrels, a super friendly cat and a majestic eagle during our stay. The pier was the perfect spot for relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Exceeds expectations

First let me say that the cleaning team is one of the best I have ever seen. The extra touches are welcoming. As far as the stay, it was tremendous. Warren is kind, understanding and cares about the experience. I highly recommend this rental for anyone who wants the proximity to everything but the seclusion of a private vacation home

Awesome Stay

We are frequent users of VRBO’s and our stay at Warrens James Island residence was the best. All aspects of our trip from booking to checkout were perfect. Warren is a fantastic host who was concerned for the comfort of his quest. He supplied a wide array of essential goods that I have not seen at any other rental and his property was spotless. It accommodated our group nicely and the property was very orderly and clean. The outside porch area was our favorite spot to view the sunrise and dolphins while drinking our morning coffee. Absolutely fantastic location and Host. We will definitely visit again!!

An actual gem!

We cannot say enough great things about this amazing place!! It was a private little oasis and even better in person than the listing shows. Super clean, incredible location, and well stocked with everything you may need during your stay. We loved sitting out on the various swings throughout the property, watching the gorgeous sunrise from the dock, and having a welcoming “home” to come back to after a long day. The owner/manager was wonderful to communicate with and clearly paid attention to cover all the details. Whenever we’re back in Charleston, we will definitely be booking again!! Highly, highly recommend :)

5 STARS!!!!

This unit is amazing. The property is amazing. The view is amazing. The unit is the best stocked Vacation rental i have ever stayed in. They even leave the extra items in the storage closet in case you run out. No expense is spared. When we met with the owner she explained that she "wanted the unit to match the view", and the view is amazing. They did a great job with the unit and i would reccomend this to anyone going to Charleston.

Simply Amazing!

Where do I start. This place was amazing. The location was great, probably 10 minutes to Charleston or to Folly Beach. It was FULLY stocked with all of the essentials. I honestly have never stayed anywhere that gives you more than starter supplies. They had plenty of everything, k-cups, makeup wipes, toothpaste, even toothbrushes if you needed them. The views from the back porch are great. We were able to see some dolphins (maybe porpoises) jumping in the water. While in Charleston we visited the Yorktown and Fort Sumter. Both were definitely worth visiting. On James Island we had breakfast at Smoky Yolk two mornings and it was great. They even had a full bar so you could order mimosas with your breakfast. If we ever have the chance to go back, we will definitely rent this property again.

Great hidden Gem

Such a beautiful quiet place that sits on right on the water. So peaceful looking out the balcony and just looking out over the water. We got the chance to watch dolphins play. It was a great location between all the places we visited. There were plenty of bathroom supplies just in case you forget something. The rooms were spacious. There is a full fridge and freezer so plenty of room for making meals and also has all your cooking utensils. I love that the kitchen area and the rest of the place is all open floor. And love that there was a tub for our little ones! They enjoyed that. Also sitting on the deck or walking around out back it was beautiful. We wanted to have a fire but we went down when the weather was pushing close to 100. So it was already a little warmer. But the lights hanging from the tree made it so much prettier at night! Such a great little gem and we will be back for sure!

BEST rental I've ever booked!

The title says it all! This was hands down the best VRBO/Airbnb rental I've ever booked! When we first drove up, the location oozes what we picture when we think of "South Carolina". The pictures of the area don't do the views any justice until you are here. They are simply spectacular! The place was very clean, and OVER STOCKED on everything. I can't say anything negative about this amazing rental at all, but if you are a light sleeper like I am, you will most likely be able to hear renters below if the lower unit is booked at the same time. We had our dogs with us, and they were able to enjoy the yard and had plenty of space to lounge. We were able to catch sightings and pictures of a dolphin and a bald eagle -both totally unexpected surprises for December! This will be the FIFRST place I check availability when we come back to Charleston, without a doubt! Thank you to the Sloane family for sharing their slice of heaven!!
