Charleston Birthday Escape

The "Cozy Cottage" was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Charleston. Located just outside of town, it provided us with a quiet and clean place to retire after a full day of sight seeing.

Awesome place

We really enjoyed staying at the cottage, it was very clean, in a quiet neighborhood, and close proximity to the beach. The communication with the host was great. Loved the keyless easy entry and best of all our dog was welcomed as well. The huge fully fenced in yard gave us piece of mind when we were all sitting outside. Great place would definitely come back!

Perfect place for a getaway!

The cottage is surprisingly roomy for its size. They used the space perfectly. It was cozy, comfortable , and had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and worked with our requests. The shared yard is big enough that we never really saw the other guests. The location is also wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and hope to frequent this little cottage often !!

Very cute cottage.

Cottage was well appointed, quiet and in a good location with a gated yard. We were able to walk our small dog without ever leaving the property. Beds were super comfortable. Hosts were very responsive. Make sure you have BOTH codes (gate and house) before arrival for easy check-in.

Christmas getaway

The cottage is precious and comfortable. Very safe behind secure fence. David and Deidra were very responsive to all questions. Had I read all the information provided at check in I wouldn’t have been such a bother. The stairs up to the loft are narrow and tricky for an older person but worked fine for 30 something’s. Great location loved it!

Mini Getaway

Home is absolutely stunning. You can tell that the owners really thought it through as far as layout, cleanliness, and location. Felt very cozy and definitely something that we would love to return to at our next getaway to Charleston. Close to all your needs and not far from Folly Beach. 🏝️ Only thing I would personally change is to make sure to have spare sheets, covers, and pillows for the sofa/bed. The instructions sheets stated that there were spare items located in the treasure chest but there were none so just make sure to provide for upcoming bookings. But other than that it was a fantastic stay!

Beautifully designed cottage, great yard!

I cannot recommend this place enough! I am a local James Islander whose condo is under reconstruction, and I work from home. This little cottage is nestled in the back of a fenced in private property in a very convenient location, and it has been my home away from home while I’m “homeless.” I just rebooked this place for a third time during my condo’s reconstruction process because I love it so much. The high ceilings, floor length windows, and beautifully designed interior with giant trees surrounding the building make it feel like you are literally staying in a treehouse. It is private with a lovely patio area and fantastic outdoor setup for my little dog, who has enjoyed having plenty of space to play fetch with his ball. The outdoor shower is amazing and I highly recommend using it. The host David has been incredibly responsive and helpful and given us an all round stellar experience!
