Island Oasis—Near Downtown
Apartment was very clean and great location between the beach and downtown Charleston.

Charleston's Coolest Neighborhood
Stayed for an extended weekend, and it was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the apartment for the getaway me and my girlfriend had went on. Awesome place to visit and plenty of things to do, Brett/shannon were very helpful with recommending places to eat/activities/etc. Would 100% recommend.

Bungalow Under The Oaks
If you’re looking for a cute little place to chill for the weekend, this is a great choice! While the bungalow is a little smaller than anticipated (for 2 adults/2dogs), the fully fenced yard makes up for everything else. The yard is pretty much completely shaded by beautiful oak trees, and my dogs loved every second we spent out there. The road is busy during the day, but at night, it quiets down, and all you can hear are the cicadas.

New Loft in Historic Summerville
Absolutely lovely. Cozy space, plenty of room for 2 people! Jacquelynn was great at responding and was very kind!

Green Garden Studio @greengardenstudio2017
This was the cutest above garage studio. It is very well done, clean and comfortable. The property is very well maintained- we would definitely stay here again! The AC was not working properly when we arrived but Holly responded immediately and got it working. Highly recommend!!

Liz Lane Cottage- entire guesthouse
Beautiful accommodations, away from the hustle, but still close enough to be convenient. The home was clean and neat. We were in Charleston for a graduation, so this was a nice place to rest up and relax in between activities.

Romantic Beach Style Cottage close to everything!
Clean & conscious hosts! Mindful of needs that may crop up, lovely home & family. Flexible! Perfect oasis away from the bustle of Charleston.

5 STAR 1bd/1ba Shem Creek Retreat in #1 MtP area!
This was our second time at Treehouse and it was just as good as the first! Katey and Jules are great hosts. The location is amazing - 10 minutes to downtown Charleston and 10 minutes to the beach. We love walking down Coleman to Shem Creek and enjoying the sights and sounds of the marsh. We love patriots point park and taking the water taxi to downtown. You won’t find a better a place for a couple getaway!

Secret Garden Guesthouse
As before, this was a peaceful, comfortable home during our stay for the Spoleto Festival in Charleston. Easy walking to performances, restaurants, and sights. Elizabeth and Jason are friendly and responsive. The lovely garden is a bonus!

*Old Village/Shem Creek Charmer*NEW 2BR Guesthouse
My husband and I had a wonderful 5 day stay at Georgia's apartment. Georgia's attention to detail was evident in each room. The furnishings and décor brings comfort and warmth to each space. We enjoyed a lunch of bbq ribs at Saltwater Cowboys (Shem creek) while we watched dolphins swim and pelicans dive for fish. We walked off our meal while striding down the Shem Creek boardwalk. We spent 2 days at Folly beach county park, soft sand and water temperature at 77F was lovely. We took advantage of the umbrella/sand chair rental which is delivered to your chosen beach spot. Upon request, Georgia provided us with big soft beach towels. Lastly, must say Mt. Pleasant is beautiful. I ran throughout the neighborhood (in training for a marathon), each house is beautifully distinctive, folks wave, and many bits of the town's history is displayed on sign plaques throughout. It was a great vacation for us!

Coastal Charm: Village Hideaway
Our stay at the Village Hideaway was perfect for our family! We actually live in Mount Pleasant and had water damage in our home and were having major repairs done to our flooring. We chose Christina’s place because of the location and because for a 2 bedroom place it was very spacious. It is a beautiful and cozy house, has great appliances, and it is extremely clean and well maintained. Christina was a great host, always available when needed, and very personable. I fully recommend the Hideaway to anybody who wants to stay in a private house close to the best of Mount Pleasant and a short drive to Charleston!

Spacious 1 bedroom cottage in Avondale
My partner and I really enjoyed staying at Derek and Sarah’s guest house cottage in Avondale. Even though it was located in a suburban area, we found the cottage feeling quiet and secluded once inside. The interior was cozy, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen very usable to cook some of our meals. We drove to Charleston, and we found the parking space easy to use and clearly marked. Derek and Sarah were very friendly and responsive with any questions we had. With a car, it was an easy drive to our visit to Folly’s Beach, our carriage ride in the French Quarter, shopping at the Charleston City Market, the harbor area for our sunset cruise, the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, the Charleston Tea Garden, and a lot more. It was a perfect launching pad for a really memorable trip.

Driftwood Cottage
Terry was very kind and a great host! The cottage is located between his house and 2 other beautiful homes. It was clean and a very cute, quaint place. Perfect for our stay.

My Happy Place
This was mine and my wife's first time in the Charleston area. I highly recommend this host, we have nothing but great things to say. the ability to check in early, the recommendations to food, activities and places to see, the comfort of the home and the thoughtfulness of having them leave a beautiful note and a bottle of bubbly for us due to our 8 year anniversary. I couldn't have asked for anything else. Thank you very much for everything. I would definitely stay here again.

The Violet Villa w/no cleaning fee
I didn’t want to leave! The description was accurate, but this community was more adorable than we ever imagined! Absolutely awesome and convenient! The hosts went above and beyond, and I’d stay here again and again. Super affordable and definitely one of our top Air BnB experiences to date.

Cozy Cottage! 5 mins from Kiawah!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lucy’s super cute cottage. It was clean, well appointed, and with the perfect amount of space for a couple. Although we didn’t get a chance to try it out (a little too chilly), the outdoor bathtub was a charming feature, in addition to the other outdoor spaces available. We loved the close proximity to the beach and to downtown Charleston. We felt very comfortable and rested really well. We would absolutely come back to Lucy’s cottage, and I’m sure you will feel the same way!

Peaceful Garden Cottage Retreat
This was the perfect home base for our time in Charleston. It was conveniently located, spotless, and very peaceful. So much thought went into making our stay pleasurable. Looking forward to our return trip!

Beach, downtown, Alhambra Hall weddings so close!
Our stay at Robert’s place was excellent. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. It was easy to get to lots of different destinations from the place. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Cozy Cottage w Games, Firepit, Grill, and More!
The house was adorable and very cozy! We had a wonderful stay and appreciated the snacks provided, along with the recommendations of places to go while we enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend and would stay again if I were ever back in the area! :)

James Island "La Casita" Nestled btw Beach & City
We enjoyed our stay so much! The space was very clean and neat. I quick drive to the beach and to the city! The James Island area was amazing! We will definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Summerville’s Tiny Oak Hideaway
our stay at the Tiny Oak was fabulous. We had everything we needed and more. we love being able to walk to everything.

Serene Location - Next to Hampton Park: Haven Hom
We totally enjoyed our stay at this cute "bungalow" in Charleston. The communication and check-in process were great, the house had everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. We loved that we had a driveway space to park our car, which is important in any big city. The location is a little off the beaten path, but still walkable to many good spots for food & bev. Would recommend and stay again for sure!

The Guesthouse at Old Orchard
Spent four nights with a friend in Brandy and Bill’s wonderful guest getaway and wish we could have stayed many more nights. Very clean and well appointed space — the kitchen had everything you need (and then some). Bathrooms were spacious and provided towels and washcloths. Beds were comfortable and there is so much space in this guesthouse. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and the property is very relaxing too. Brandy has created a cozy home away from home and we hope to return again. So many nice well appreciated touches. It’s perfectly located in the area too — so close to many of the attractions and also very close to grocery stores and restaurants. Highly recommend with no reservations!

Shem Creek Bungalow: Coastal Comfort Redefined
Stayed here on a recommendation and the place was perfect. Would recommend it to anyone interested in private little getaway.
