Good Hub to the Charleston Area

Coastal Retreat is a comfortable accommodation in a residential neighborhood, away from the traffic of downtown but with easy access to all points of interest. King St business district was only a 10 minute drive, Isle of Palms and Folly Beach were reached within 25 minutes. Apartment was clean and quiet.

Exceptional!

Thank you for the nice stay. This VRBO is off the beaten path, and great proximity to various parts of the Charleston area. Clearly, the owners take great pride in the property. The bed and bedding were the best ever for a rental. The space provided the exact description. I even loved the special labels on the hair products and soaps. The owners go above and beyond to offer the best accommodations. Highly recommend!

Charleston Guest House

Our stay was in an inviting new cottage in a residential neighborhood. It had everything to make us feel comfortable, welcomed and a bit pampered. It was immaculate! The host welcomed us with a bottle of champagne, chocolates and snacks and cards recognizing our birthdays and 50th anniversary! Very much appreciated and unexpected. Thank you.

Anniversary get away

The house was very nice, clean and comfortable. We were a little disappointed in the location, we couldn’t walk to any of the sites in Charleston. The house is oddly located next to the assumed owners home, it felt like we were in their front yard. Also the outside space is very private, it’s a little too private. Sitting outside all you had to look at is the privacy fence that is only about six feet away from where you can sit. Overall we did have a nice stay and it was a relaxing time. Thank you.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The accommodations are as presented, perfect for two located in a quiet neighborhood and close to Charleston airport.

Cutest Place & Great Host!

Our weekend stay was perfect! The house was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed (towels, shampoo/cond., coffee/tea, etc.). Our host was the best I have ever had at any vacation rental! We had snacks, water and champagne upon our arrival! He checked in multiple times with us and made us feel at home! Pre-arrival I received a list of recommendations and things to do in the area which I really appreciated! Highly recommend ⭐️

Stylish, private, very comfortable

This is a lovely, modern, & very clean stand-alone guest quarters in the side yard of a main home. Separate entrance from the driveway through own gate through own, small fenced yard. Neighborhood is quiet, upscale residential. The unit felt plenty spacious for a couple. It is very well appointed - no kitchen but ample appliances & utensils for countertop cooking, large bath, very comfortable seating in living area, large TV's, great internet, lovely bedroom with plenty of storage for clothes. Nice towels & bedding. Decor is light & sleek with turqouise accents and a simple artistic beachy feel. I really liked this place. We stayed for a week while visiting family in West Ashley. Also loved that we could walk to a grocery store, Home Team BBQ, and Second State coffee shop. Easy drive to downtown Charleston and other sites.

The Best In The Land!

This was our first time ever to Charleston SC. It was for our 20th anniversary. I will tell you it did not disappoint. It met our expectations, the communication was fast and reliable. And our stay was AMAZING! I highly recommend this spot. 5 star is an understatement. This deserves a 10 star! Thanks again, and we will be back!
