Island Oasis—Near Downtown
Enjoyed our stay with our dog. Would love to stay again! The distance to folly beach and downtown charleston was ideal.

Charleston's Coolest Neighborhood
Clean and comfortable! Shower had lots of power and ac worked great! Located in a cute area with lots of unique shopping and food options within minutes. Plus it’s a short drive to downtown Charleston which has many more options.

New Loft in Historic Summerville
We loved our stay at Jacquelynn's! We had to travel with our two older, yet anxious, dogs for a wedding and it turned out to be the perfect place for us. The loft is detached from the home, making it much more private to go to and from. The place was spotless with cute decor. Even though it is a smaller space, she has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Lots of towels and blankets as well as silverware, coffee pot, and mugs. I was pleasantly surprised at how the bathroom was actually quite spacious for the small space. The most important and best part for us was the peace and quiet. We typically have to worry about outside noise as our dogs will bark at any and every noise they hear. But the loft is nestled in such a quiet and quaint neighborhood, making it perfect for anyone with anxiety ridden dogs. I highly recommend Jacquelynn's loft!

Green Garden Studio @greengardenstudio2017
My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend during my families wedding. Place was just what we were looking for. Would definitely stay here again if we visit Charleston again! Host was very responsive and even let me borrow their personal iron. 5 stars!!

Spacious Daniel Island Apartment
We had a wonderful stay at David’s. The space was exactly what we were looking for - clean, quiet, and comfortable. Daniel Island is beautiful, and downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant are both very accessible by car/Uber. David was very communicative and a great host - we would love to stay here again!

Mother in Law in James Island Riverland Terrace
Very gracious hosts and cute guest apartment convenient to Charleston. Property is beautifully landscaped and is very private and quiet. We enjoyed our stay.

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!
Amazing treehouse in quiet and beautiful neighborhood, just wow! Short distance to shem creek that has plenty of restaurants, night life, and views. We took the bikes down a few times, only 5-10 minutes. Then you get to come home to peace and quiet. One of the most beautiful neighborhoods we have ever been in. Easy Uber into Charleston. If you want to be close to the action but not right in the middle of it, this is the place for you!
Guesthouses with a patio

Secret Garden Guesthouse
Elizabeth & Jason were wonderful hosts to my husband and myself. The accommodations were pristine and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness of the backyard/patio area! The location was very centralized to the downtown area. We would highly recommend this home to our family and friends! Don & Rocky

Quaint Cottage Studio in Ashley Forest (Avondale)
John and his family offer a cozy place to rest after exploring the nearby neighborhoods by foot and the region by car. A comfy bed, a responsive host, a central location and great local recommendations were highlights.

Hearts & Dreams Peaceful Family Retreat w/ pool
Perfect spot for a family with young kids! Plenty for us to enjoy outdoors in the beautiful South Carolina weather. Hosts were very gracious!

Stylish Carriage House+Pool House
Jessie & Robin were PHENOMENAL hosts. Our stay wasn’t long but it was peaceful, clean and just what we were looking for. The space was exactly as described. They were quick to respond and were proactive at check in and check out. Our time in Charleston was wonderful and the stay only added to that! If we find our way back to Charleston I will be booking with them again.

Country in the City, "The Outback"
Staying at the Outback was an absolute pleasure. We enjoyed the pool, Sue’s adorable pup and her kindness. She made us feel right at home and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to rest our heads. Thanks so much Sue!

Driftwood Cottage
Terry made staying at the Driftwood Cottage easy. Everything was clean and comfortable. Nice placce about 25 minutes outside of Charleston. Perfect place for exploring the area. Terry introduced himself and made sure everything was ok. Then I had complete privacy. Perfect host. Would stay at again.

My Happy Place
We loved our stay at the pool house! It had everything we needed and the location was great. I would highly recommend it!

The James: “Tiny” Home b/w Downtown & Folly

Luna, our golden girl, also approved! Thanks so much for the beautiful stay Caitlin and Spencer we enjoyed it so much! 🩵🐶🐚🌴
Guesthouse rentals with a washer and dryer

CHS Guest house w/ Pool on Golf Course
The home was neat & clean, conveniently located, private, and quiet. We had so much fun visiting many parts of Charleston with the guest house as our homebase. The home had everything our small family needed for our stay and more! Alicia was a gracious, respectful, and responsive host. She even brought extra supplies to us in case we needed them! We would welcome the opportunity to be a guest with her again.

Groves Carriage House, near Shem Creek
Wonderful, responsive hosts. This above garage unit has everything you need. The neighborhood is very accessible to anywhere you want to go. 5 minutes from Shem Creek. 15 minutes to Sullivan’s Island or Isles of Palms. Roughly 10-15 minutes from Downtown Charleston. The hosts were very helpful with any of my simple needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Beach, downtown, Alhambra Hall weddings so close!
Great spot to stay in Mt Pleasant!

Leisure Lane-Private Apt on 22 acre Horse Farm
Absolutely amazing place! It’s quiet and a nice getaway from the city, but yet not too far to still see the sights. What you see in the photos is exactly what you get. We were so happy with the apartment, it’s clean, very comfortable and well thought out. A perfect place if you want some quiet after seeing Charleston for the day. Don’t hesitate, this place is perfect! Thanks Megan, you were an incredible host!

Cozy Apartment in Mount Pleasant
We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The apartment is beautifully appointed, comfortably furnished, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the comfortable bed and how quiet the neighborhood was, while being so convenient to restaurants, shops, and everything the area has to offer. We also very much enjoyed meeting our hosts, who were so welcoming.

Private Coastal Cottage-Near Beaches & Charleston!
Thank you again for hosting us. The place was in a perfect location, and you all were very accommodating. Great storage if bringing a boat down, and Jaime and her husband are very welcoming. Would recommend this place to all

James Island "La Casita" Nestled btw Beach & City
This apartment was the perfect spot to explore Charleston and the surrounding areas! It was clean and cozy in a cute neighborhood on John's Island! Definitely recommend!!

Summerville’s Tiny Oak Hideaway
Loved staying in this cute little cottage! Perfect amount of space for myself, a friend, and her newborn! Very peaceful and in walking distance to local coffee shops + more! Justin sent recommendations and the check in was easy. Will be back :)
