Island Oasis—Near Downtown
Highlights: The bed is very comfortable for 2 sleepers. We have opposite preferences (I like firm, he likes soft) and we were both reasonably happy. My favorite part was that I didn't shoot off the bed like a cartoon character when he stood up - it's pretty well padded foam so the spring action of your grandma's guest bed is nowhere to be found here. Cotton everything was such a relief - I never find this much cotton at an Airbnb! The comforter, sheets, pillowcases, and towels...seriously heaven. The shower got hot quick with great pressure and was tall enough for my 6'2" husband. Guest mode on the Roku TV was an excellent discovery. The kitchen was well appointed and everything was easy to find and not cluttered or missing items. But most of all, the cherry on top was all the recommendations! I have lived in Charleston and worked on James Island and all the extra tips and tricks were new even to me. Can't recommend enough!

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
Had an amazing stay!! Jacquelynn was extremely kind and was the definition of an amazing host!

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.

Spacious Daniel Island Apartment
David and Shirley were the perfect hosts! We have stayed with them before and were so excited to come back again! They always make sure all is well for us and check in to see if we need anything! We are so thankful and happy that we found such a beautiful place to stay, and most of all we are thankful for David and Shirley who are wonderful people, they always make our stays so enjoyable!

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!

Private waterfront apt in the oaks
This is my 2nd time staying & I couldn’t recommend their property enough. Nancy and Joe’s home is beyond gorgeous. I can’t wait to come back! So many great local restraunts & so peaceful on their dock! We saw so many dolphins again!

*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!

Stylish Carriage House+Pool House
We could tell that a great deal of care and attention to detail was put into every part of the house. The extras, like the white noise machine, the washer-dryer, and the odds and ends in the kitchen, really took this place to the next level. We felt incredibly safe and comfortable and would stay here again without hesitation. In a world where so many "rental companies" control the market, this place was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the nice stay.

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 James: “Tiny” Home b/w Downtown & Folly
If I could give this stay 10 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment we arrived, everything was beyond perfect. The space was spotless, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like a dream getaway. Every corner was photo-worthy — seriously, bring your camera because you’ll want to capture it all! The host was immaculate — kind, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. You can tell so much care and intention went into every detail of the home. It felt like stepping into a Pinterest board, but better! We made memories that will last a lifetime and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re lucky enough to stay here — take it! You’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and already planning your next trip back. 🌟✨

The Violet Villa w/no cleaning fee
Beautiful place to stay! Neighborhood was rather tight quarters, but I think that’s what comes with living in town. The hosts were very descriptive and thoughtful with what they included in the home.

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!

Beach, downtown, Alhambra Hall weddings so close!
We loved our little hideaway in beautiful Old Villag e! So peaceful, charming, close to everything we wanted to do! ....we biked OV, Shem Creek, Sullivans...and enjoyed the cute, clean, all we needed "home sweet home" while there! Very comfortable, quiet, well appointed. Robert and his adorable family were accommodating yet respectful of their guests privacy. It was an absolute pleasure to stay there! My sister and husband rented it first and it came highly recommended for the cleanliness, location and ease of everything! So we booked it too and were also very pleased! Easy peasy check out too! Thank you, Robert! Donna and Alex

Cozy Apartment in Mount Pleasant
Dorothy's stay was perfect! It's such a cozy apartment and had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood is beautiful and it was easy to get to downtown Charleston (~15 min away) and other locations via Uber/Lyft. She was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond. I'd highly recommend!

James Island "La Casita" Nestled btw Beach & City
The bnb is was just as described in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. A close drive to downtown Charleston and a reasonable price. Clean and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone visiting 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
Wonderful place to stay. Enjoyed coffee on the deck while viewing surrounding nature and gardens. Would definitely come back again!

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.

Guesthouse Convenient to Charleston, Shem Creek, and Beaches
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, updated, and the perfect size for a couple. Neighborhood was filled with nice homes, was walkable, and very safe and quiet. We were within walking distance to several restaurants within a few blocks and walked to a great, nearby coffee shop for coffee and breakfast. Location was a plus for us; a quick car ride to Charleston, plus only 30 minutes to Folly Beach where we went for a day trip to the beach. Close enough to the action, but a nice hideaway from the hustle and bustle. Hosts were responsive - would definitely recommend!
