Island Oasis—Near Downtown
Apartment was very clean and great location between the beach and downtown Charleston.

Bungalow Under The Oaks
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Bungalow Under the Oaks. The space was clean and cozy, good for two people and a small dog. We enjoyed the fenced in yard and short drive to the beach and restaurants.

New Loft in Historic Summerville
Absolutely lovely. Cozy space, plenty of room for 2 people! Jacquelynn was great at responding and was very kind!

Green Garden Studio @greengardenstudio2017
This was the cutest above garage studio. It is very well done, clean and comfortable. The property is very well maintained- we would definitely stay here again! The AC was not working properly when we arrived but Holly responded immediately and got it working. Highly recommend!!

Liz Lane Cottage- entire guesthouse
Our stay was amazing! Brooke was a fantastic host who always responded quickly and was very friendly whenever we saw her or her family. When we were caught in poor weather, she messaged me and gave us umbrellas so we could stay dry during our trip. A great experience and we all hope to stay here again!!

Exclusive, safe, quiet island living Charleston!
I travel a lot for work. I always look for peaceful places that feel safe and have beautiful surroundings (in the event that I get to enjoy them on a work trip). Mo was a clear and responsive host. Parking is so easy in this neighborhood. The space is even more spacious in person than I expected. Thanks, Mo!

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!

*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!

Gas Light Carriage House Close to DT & Beach
One of the better AirBnB properties I have stayed in. The unit was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. The setting was lovely with a nice private patio. The James Island location was very convenient to downtown and the beaches. I will definitely return here on a future trip to the area.

Farm Stay w Gardens, Cute Animals, Firepit + Porch
We had such a lovely stay at this charming farm cottage! The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed—and then some. You can tell a lot of care and thought went into making sure guests feel welcome and comfortable. The host was incredibly attentive and responsive, which made everything even smoother. It was the perfect peaceful getaway and we’d absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommend!

Spacious 1 bedroom cottage in Avondale
We had a great stay at the little house. Everything was very clean and homey. Instructions were clear and Derek was very helpful. Definitely recommend!

Driftwood Cottage
Terry’s place was convenient to Old Wide Awake Plantation Wedding avenue. Clean, cozy, private and comfortable. Terry was very nice too. Would definitely stay here again!

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 Violet Villa w/no cleaning fee
I didn’t want to leave! The description was accurate, but this community was more adorable than we ever imagined! Absolutely awesome and convenient! The hosts went above and beyond, and I’d stay here again and again. Super affordable and definitely one of our top Air BnB experiences to date.

Cozy Cottage! 5 mins from Kiawah!
Cute and clean home! Comfortable bed - very much a benefit when traveling!

Peaceful Garden Cottage Retreat
This was the perfect home base for our time in Charleston. It was conveniently located, spotless, and very peaceful. So much thought went into making our stay pleasurable. Looking forward to our return trip!

Beach, downtown, Alhambra Hall weddings so close!
Our stay at Robert’s place was excellent. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. It was easy to get to lots of different destinations from the place. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

James Island "La Casita" Nestled btw Beach & City
John’s place on James Island was perfect! The location was ideal—close to everything in Charleston. The space was clean, well-kept, and exactly as described. John was super responsive and very accommodating throughout our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Summerville’s Tiny Oak Hideaway
Our stay in Summerville was wonderful. I loved being able to walk out our door to take a walk downtown or to the park. It was such a restful weekend away.

The Guesthouse at Old Orchard
Spent four nights with a friend in Brandy and Bill’s wonderful guest getaway and wish we could have stayed many more nights. Very clean and well appointed space — the kitchen had everything you need (and then some). Bathrooms were spacious and provided towels and washcloths. Beds were comfortable and there is so much space in this guesthouse. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and the property is very relaxing too. Brandy has created a cozy home away from home and we hope to return again. So many nice well appreciated touches. It’s perfectly located in the area too — so close to many of the attractions and also very close to grocery stores and restaurants. Highly recommend with no reservations!

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.

Charleston Casita near Folly Beach *Dog Friendly*
This was the first trip my fiancé and I took after getting engaged, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! It was a great location, clean, comfy and cute. Megan was phenomenal at communicating with us and everything was so clean when we arrived. It was also very private which we loved because we brought our dogs! I would 1000% recommend to everyone and would love to come back!

Old Mt. Pleasant/Shem Creek close to Sullivans/DT
We had a wonderful stay at the guesthouse. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a great vacation. It also beach towels and chairs which we used each day. There are also bikes and helmets if you wish to take a ride. It was very peaceful and quiet yet still close to shopping and restaurants. It is a great location for a stay in Charleston! My husband and I want to make this our yearly vacation spot, we loved it here!
