Great Location

A cute little place, big enough for 2, close enough to walk or ride a bicycle to see the sights but far enough away to avoid the noise and traffic. Would definitely stay here again.

Location was perfect!

Location was perfect, super walkable. Fuel Cantina and Holey City Bagels were conveniently close-by. Food was great everywhere we visited. Downtown Charleston including all attractions were within walking distance for us (could be a bit long for others who aren’t walkers)…it was a beautiful, pleasant walk to and from. Charleston City Market, The Lost History of Black Charleston walking tour led by historian and educator Damon Fordham, and Folly Beach were among my favorite experiences. My friend enjoyed the wine complimentary of the Vrbo, which was a nice way to cap off our wonderful stay in Charleston. We both thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning. Oh and the mattress was super comfortable. We slept well.

Comftorble

The place was clean and comfortable. However, the price I paid was the same as a 2 bedroom, ocean front condo on Isle of Palms the last time we were here. I will stay there if and when I come back. Love Charleston!!!

Great Stay

I liked how we were close enough to walk everywhere without being right in the middle of the crowds. The house was clean and comfortable and I liked that they had off street private parking. Check in and check out was so easy. Being close the the bakery Sugar was definitely a plus, the best cookies ever!!

Great intown cottage

Our stay in this cottage was great! The location is convenient to the historic area. It is a bit of a walk if you are going all the way to the Battery, but the free trolley stop is nearby. The cottage is perfect for a couple. It is very well-stocked with everything you need for a stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful and sweet place to stay, convenient walk to downtown destinations

We had a delightful stay at this property. We had everything we needed. We were there in the weekend and my only complaint was that it was very loud in the neighborhood the second night. Overall, it was sweet and mostly quiet the rest of the time.

Awesome stay!

My husband and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary in Charleston and the cottage was perfect for our stay. We parked our vehicle there and didn’t move it again until we left! We brought our bikes and were able to get everywhere downtown we wanted to go easily on bikes and on foot! The cottage was charming, clean and comfortable and the perfect size for us! We would definitely stay there again!

Quaint comfortable cottage

I was in town visiting relatives and stayed at this enchanting cottage. The neighborhood was safe and I thoroughly enjoyed my morning walks. Coffee shop was less than a half mile away and the neighborhood restaurants were perfect. The cottage was clean, well maintained and had everything I needed. The interior was furnished well and fit the style of the dwelling. I would definitely stay here again!!

Cute cottage

Be careful of the kitchen door it opens by itself. Needs a deadbolt. Also there is no bathroom upstairs and no way to turn the stairway light off or on from upstairs. Otherwise very clean.

The cottage has everything you need. It is 1 block from bus stop with a free bus to visitor center. There are 3 bus routes that are free. The cottage has tourist info to use. The owner has thought of everything. The bed is very comfortable. We would stay again.
