Great Little Spot!
We had a great stay while down in Charleston for a few days. It was nice to get back to the house in the AC during a heat wave. From the house on Johns Island, it was about 30 min to downtown and 45 over to Mount Pleasant but in a nice quiet location. There was a great place for nearby called Sunrise Bistro. Sarah was a very responsive and helpful host which made for a wonderful, comfortable stay.

Darling little house on a quiet street in John’s Island. Clean, tidy, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. The “house manual” answered any questions we could have had. My 9 year old said, “I could see myself living here full time.” Perfect if you want to avoid the chaos of downtown Charleston or Folly Beach without being too far away.

Perfect Stay!
We were in town for a celebration for the local elementary school on the island and decided to make a weekend of it! This was the perfect place - close to everything we needed, easy to get downtown & to West Ashley since the house is minutes away from Main Rd & the connector! House is kid friendly, we had our 2 and 4 year old with us. Neighborhood felt safe! We will definitely stay here again when we are in town!

PhD candidate stay
My daughter was doing some PhD fieldwork in the area and convinced me to join her. Our stay was perfect…2 bedrooms in a beautifully done home! The house was clean and the kitchen well appointed. I can not think of one item that was missing. WiFi was good, instructions for everything were in a 2 ring binder. Not sure of tv, etc as we didn’t have time to watch anything. Close to everywhere we wanted to go!

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the good location, for us, immaculate cleanliness, and thoughtful touches throughout the home.The property itself is great—and equipped with every amenity you could think of. The kitchen was equipped making it easy to prepare meals, and the living space was cozy and comfortable . Each bedroom was comfortable with nice bedding.The outdoor space was great for our dog to enjoy and us as well with the fire pit.The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She was incredibly responsive, providing great local recommendations and ensuring that every little detail was taken care of. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests’ experience, which made our stay even more enjoyable.If you’re looking for a comfortable getaway, this is it.
