Full of Southern charm and hospitality!! Absolutely clean and thoughtfully decorated studio! Very comfortable bed and well sized bathroom for a studio. The best was the welcoming banana bread loaf to snack on with late night tar or morning coffee. Location was so close to walk around historic area.

Great cottage experience

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this property! The home beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in and check-out a breeze. We especially appreciated the little touches like the welcome banana bread, welcome basket, water in the refrigerator, k-cups, sugar and creamer and local recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect for a long weekend!

The space was very clean and very quiet! It was perfect for our short trip, and it was great to be able to walk to downtown Summerville. We did spend most of our days in downtown Charleston and the surrounding beaches, and the drive from Summerville wasn't bad at all. Easy check-in and out, and Jo and Rich were so kind!

Southern Hospitality

We have family in the area and having a nice, quiet place to retreat to in the evenings was exactly what we needed. Our hosts made our stay so welcoming. Lovely flowers, banana bread, coffee, breakfast cereal were there in the room for our enjoyment. Our room included a small well stocked kitchenette, comfortable bed, nice sized bathroom. Also great outdoor seating. This rental is in an quiet neighborhood close to the historic downtown. We were very pleased and highly recommend.

Would give 10 stars if I could

Just moved to the area from out of state. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and so respectful. There was a cute little porch for me to sit and enjoy my tea. The area is so close to everything you could want. The house was so clean and smelled so good and welcoming. It honestly was the best vrbo I have ever stayed in. What you would think of a nice southern home and hospitality is. Its right here. thank you so much for making such a pleasant stay!

Very cozy!

The room was small, but well-equipped with everything we needed. The queen size bed was very comfortable! Our only issue was with the TV which one must "cast" from a smartphone. We tried in many ways, but it never worked for us (our host tried to help us, but to know avail) . No problem as we watched a movie on my I-Pad. Really enjoyed meeting our hosts!
