About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A sweet tiny house in a great location, with bikes and beach amenities.

Our tiny home tries really hard to be as wonderful as the cedar tree it sits next to. It even dressed itself in fancy cedar siding and lathered itself with tung oil. And although its efforts may have failed (it s hard to top mother nature), a definite theme has been born. Runner-up names included Hail Cedar! and 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Cedar.

Amenities:
- Comfy queen in loft & West Elm futon in living area
- Fans and white noise in the loft
- AC & heat that work wonderfully
- Full kitchen and bath
- Two cruiser bicycles
- Upgraded beach package: Solbello beach shade, two nice beach chairs, two Turkish beach towels, Hydroflask cooler tote, mesh beach bag
- Hammock
- Outdoor patio with two cushioned couches
- Unique board games designed for two-person play
- Full length mirror
- Alexa-enabled bluetooth speaker
- Small book collection

The bicycles are especially great, because there are a few restaurants and a music venue within a leisurely five minute ride. More on that later. Now, onto the house:

It s tiny! But it doesn t feel that way. The light color of the bamboo flooring, the many windows and the high ceilings help to open it up. The loft holds a queen-sized mattress, which sits low to the floor on tatami mats. There is a full bath with a rain-down shower, air vent, and cloth curtain door. There is a fully functional kitchen, with gas stove and microwave. There is a desk/table and a very comfy futon couch that opens to sleep an (additional) adult or two children (who are very welcome). The futon, when pulled out, measures 82” x 45.”

Amenities for daily living abound: fast wi-fi; soaps, towels & bed linens; cookware; electrical kettle; coffee maker and french press; a selection of teas, Trader Joe's dark roast coffee; wine glasses and a wine opener, champagne glasses, pepper grinder, kosher salt, olive oil, honey, etc. If you are in need of anything, just ask!

The house sits on the front left corner of our property and is surrounded on three sides by a privacy fence. The front faces the driveway, which is where you'll pull up and park (left side). In effect, because of the tall fence, guests have an entire property with yard and driveway to themselves. Easy, keyless entry and a flood light that comes on if you arrive at night.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
This smoke-free vacation home offers a stereo, books, and games.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

This was my first tiny house experience and wish I would have stayed an extra day. The location was within 8 miles of the beach and close to food. The stove and outdoor amenities were less than expected but overall Super cute place. Would definitely stay again.

Perfectly Tucked Away Tiny Home

On day one we encountered some storms in the morning and Brian reached out to let us know to travel safe and that we could come early if needed. When we finally arrived the immediate reaction was, it's adorable! All directions for arriving were spot on and the tip sheets left out were so easy and helpful. Even though it's a tiny home, it was perfect for the two of us. I loved all the hand painted drawings I found throughout the space! The location was perfect. Away from the hustle and buslte but still easily accessible to anything we wanted to do. Hands down the hidden gem of our trip was Terrace Theater, which Brian and Ava recommended, and it was nearly 10 minute walk away. Also loved getting a spotify playlist for the drive home. Such a great stay and such great hosts!

Brian was incredibly kind and welcoming and was always quick to respond if I had any questions. Also got many visits from a sweet little cat, which made my day!Can’t recommend this place enough, it was the perfect spot for my first solo trip, I’ll definitely be back next time i’m in Charleston!

We loved it here! It was so cozy and truly felt like we were at home. The AC works great, and space was very clean. The host was very communicative and helpful especially if we needed anything. At first we were skeptical of the size (yes we know we rented a tiny home) but it was plenty of space and really great!!! Will definitely look to stay here again. Also in a great, safe neighborhood!

Restdful getaway

This tiny home is a perfect getaway place for 1-2 people. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The place was accurately represented and the neighborhood felt very safe for me to ride the provided bike around. Seeing the sunset on the Stono river at the back of the neighborhood was a plus as well. The restaurants and activities recommended by the host were also very nice. Thank you so much.

Charleston Gem!

My 2 night stay in the adorable tiny home was perfect! This little gem was clean, comfortable and convenient to downtown Charleston. Although I opted to not cook while there, home was equipped with refrigerator, stove, microwave and the coffeemaker which I did use. Very comfortable bed. Met the owner who immediately responded to a small heating issue which was resolved immediately. Fun experience to stay in a tiny home. I would definitely consider again if ever in Charleston again!

Quick and cozy stay

This tiny home was a unique place to stay and affordable for the area. We had a great time exploring Charleston and enjoyed how cozy this place was. We made use of the bikes/amenities offered and the super friendly cat added to our experience :) The only thing I that would make the place more comfortable is a little more bathroom privacy, even just a more opaque curtain would do the trick. Overall it was a great stay and fun vrbo, we look forward to visiting charleston again!
