Guesthouse vacation rentals in James Island

Apartment was very clean and great location between the beach and downtown Charleston.

If you’re looking for a cute little place to chill for the weekend, this is a great choice! While the bungalow is a little smaller than anticipated (for 2 adults/2dogs), the fully fenced yard makes up for everything else. The yard is pretty much completely shaded by beautiful oak trees, and my dogs loved every second we spent out there. The road is busy during the day, but at night, it quiets down, and all you can hear are the cicadas.

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

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!!

Beautiful accommodations, away from the hustle, but still close enough to be convenient. The home was clean and neat. We were in Charleston for a graduation, so this was a nice place to rest up and relax in between activities.

We had an amazing stay. Everything was extremely clean, bed and living room furniture are so comfortable. David and Shirlie are super responsive, very clear with all communication and gave excellent restaurant recommendations. The nearby park and lake were a dream. We caught several fish and enjoyed the peaceful scenery on Daniel Island. Highly recommended 100/10!

Clean & conscious hosts! Mindful of needs that may crop up, lovely home & family. Flexible! Perfect oasis away from the bustle of Charleston.

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!

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!

This was the cutest place! Very comfortable and the neighborhood was so pretty. We enjoyed our time and the location was convenient. Thank you so much!

My partner and I really enjoyed staying at Derek and Sarah’s guest house cottage in Avondale. Even though it was located in a suburban area, we found the cottage feeling quiet and secluded once inside. The interior was cozy, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen very usable to cook some of our meals. We drove to Charleston, and we found the parking space easy to use and clearly marked. Derek and Sarah were very friendly and responsive with any questions we had. With a car, it was an easy drive to our visit to Folly’s Beach, our carriage ride in the French Quarter, shopping at the Charleston City Market, the harbor area for our sunset cruise, the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, the Charleston Tea Garden, and a lot more. It was a perfect launching pad for a really memorable trip.

Terry was very kind and a great host! The cottage is located between his house and 2 other beautiful homes. It was clean and a very cute, quaint place. Perfect for our stay.

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.

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.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lucy’s super cute cottage. It was clean, well appointed, and with the perfect amount of space for a couple. Although we didn’t get a chance to try it out (a little too chilly), the outdoor bathtub was a charming feature, in addition to the other outdoor spaces available. We loved the close proximity to the beach and to downtown Charleston. We felt very comfortable and rested really well. We would absolutely come back to Lucy’s cottage, and I’m sure you will feel the same way!

This is a great spot to either stay on the island or venture into downtown Charleston or other areas! 20 min away with traffic but there are multiple ways to get to and from where you want to go. Place looks just like the pictures & the water pressure in the shower is lovely!

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!

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.

Dorothy's stay was perfect! It's such a cozy apartment and had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood is beautiful and it was easy to get to downtown Charleston (~15 min away) and other locations via Uber/Lyft. She was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond. I'd highly recommend!

The house was adorable and very cozy! We had a wonderful stay and appreciated the snacks provided, along with the recommendations of places to go while we enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend and would stay again if I were ever back in the area! :)

My kids will miss the chickens. Honestly, it’s a great place with amazing access to both Charleston and Folly Beach. Great neighborhood to jog in. Chickens were sweet as pie to my kids.

Stayed here on a recommendation and the place was perfect. Would recommend it to anyone interested in private little getaway.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, updated, and the perfect size for a couple. Neighborhood was filled with nice homes, was walkable, and very safe and quiet. We were within walking distance to several restaurants within a few blocks and walked to a great, nearby coffee shop for coffee and breakfast. Location was a plus for us; a quick car ride to Charleston, plus only 30 minutes to Folly Beach where we went for a day trip to the beach. Close enough to the action, but a nice hideaway from the hustle and bustle. Hosts were responsive - would definitely recommend!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Casita! We split our time between downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, and this was a great location to not be too far from either and still have privacy, flexibility, and our pup with us! Would definitely stay here again!
