About this property

Private Coastal Cottage on James Island

Newly renovated, well-designed cottage located on desirable James Island.
Open floor plan nestled under live oaks on a half acre property.
It's tranquil and quiet and provides the perfect location for walking to tons of restaurants, movie theatre, public golf course, music venue, boat landings and one mile from the county park that offers walking/biking trails, playgrounds, splash pads, climbing and the only dog park on the island.

Just minutes to downtown Charleston & Folly Beach!
The space
Live oaks provide a canopy over the cottage and many windows make for a beautifully, well lit spot with tons of natural light. Open floor plan offers a big bay window with bistro seating, a kitchen with pantry, coffee pot, toaster oven, and wall oven, and the living room is spacious with a couch, bookshelf, coffee table, and large TV. The bedroom is just off the living room where you'll find a the separate laundry room, queen bed with two nightstands, dresser, closet and a bathroom that features an alcove.
Guest access
Coastal Cottage is situated in the back of the half acre lot. In the front of our property is our sister Airbnb: Live Oak Retreat. It features a 3/2.5 one story home. Guests of Coastal Cottage park directly in front of their home. Guests at Live Oak Retreat park on the left side of the driveaway and along the side of the deck and carport. The right side of the driveway needs to remain open so Coastal Cottage guests can access their home. We have never had any issues with parking but want to make sure all guests are aware of how to share the parking space.

Small and sweet
The cottage is hidden from the main road so it was a lot quieter plus the trees around the property made taking pictures fun.

Great weekend getaway!
This James Island cottage was perfect. It had everything I needed for a weekend getaway. It's close to everything. It is tucked away in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. If you need a one bedroom that is close to Charleston, Folly Beach and Mt Pleasant, book this place!

Location is ideal!
A cute small place in a great central location on James Island. We had a nice stay. The cottage has everything needed. We had issues with operating the cooling system but that could have just been user error, I'm not sure. We also weren't bothered enough by this to even attempt to reach out to the owners so I can't speakon response. I can say that we were contacted with check-in info by them and had no issues there. No real complaints and we'd certainly stay again. in the future.

Perfect for a couple retreat.
Nice, quiet, and semi secluded stay on James Island. Plenty to do within 10 minutes and ample shopping. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.
