About this property

Palm Key - Cozy Coastal Charm

  • Please read the entire listing to ensure Palm Key is a good fit. This is a pet friendly, cozy and comfortable home on James Island that is just 5 miles from historic and scenic downtown Charleston and only 6 miles to Folly Beach. Spend time in this wonderful city in a place that feels like home, to include full kitchen, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, fully fenced back yard, and covered parking for 2 vehicles. The driveway will easily accommodate 4 vehicles & there is room to park a boat trailer should you decide to bring your own boat. We know your pets are a part of your family, they are welcome at Palm Key! There is a $85 per pet fee(max 2 pets).

    This is an older home renovated to include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tankless water heater, crown moldings, and hardwood floors. The kitchen and dining room area is open to the living room as well. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms and is filled with coastal charm. Smart TVs with Netflix and local channels are provided in the living room and both bedrooms. You can also log into other streaming services with your own account if you'd like.
    The house is thoughtfully prepared for your arrival with flatware, knives, cookware, coffee maker (pot or pod) & toaster all made by Cuisinart and were all purchased new exclusively for this vacation home. Tea, coffee, creamer, sugar are all provided as well as a waffle iron, towels, bed linens, hair dryer, iron, and ironing board. We recycle! You will find a blue recycle bin in the laundry room between the washer and dryer.

    The value of this home is incredible and the location is amazing. If you would like to enjoy a day on the beach and a night on the town with a group of friends or family, then this is the house for you!! Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

    Full kitchen, laundry, living room, two bed rooms, full bath off of the hall and a half bath in the master, front yard and backyard that is full fenced with a privacy fence. There is a gas fire pit surrounded by 4 Adirondack chairs as well.

    Palm Key has a duplex style attached bungalow where we reside. While we live on the property, there are no shared spaces with us. The backyard has a 6 foot privacy fence that will allow you & your pets to enjoy as well.

    We highly recommend the purchase of a travel insurance policy due to the fact that our area is in a hurricane prone region of the country. As a reminder we are pet friendly!($85 per pet, max of 2).

Excellent stay!

We are local and needed extra space for family visiting. We were so impressed with the location -quick jaunt to downtown Charleston and Folly beach- and the cleanliness of the home. The owners were fantastic to communicate with, as well. Thanks for a great stay - we will definitely rent again :)

Quite & convenient to Folly Beach & Downtown

We had a great stay with our two dogs. Went to Folly Beach in the mornings and Downtown Charleston in the evenings, both easy drives. Also found some restaurants/bars on we really liked on James Island. House was clean and well stocked. Good times!

Small group stay

This house worked well for our Mom/daughter girls trip to Charleston. There were three of us so it was comfortable. I was looking for something less pricey than the downtown area. We rented a car as it was necessary to drive to the beach, Cypress Gardens, Boone plantation, and downtown Charleston. Had a nice stay and appreciated the updated and well-supplied kitchen for making a couple meals of our own.

Relax and refresh

Palm Key was just the place we needed to relax and recharge after a long day of caring for family nearby. It's a cozy home that is very well appointed and quiet. Morning walks through the neighborhood to the marsh were a highlight. Can't wait to return.

So Nice, and close to everything!

We absolutly loved our stay at Palm Key! This was our first time visiting the Charleston area, and we were very grateful for a quiet place to rest after long days exploring the city! The house was so clean and comfortable - and we felt so welcomed by our hosts! The backyard was also a huge plus, since we brought our dog with us. Would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you!!

Charming and immaculate!

A friend & I decided to seek a place to relax and enjoy evenings away from downtown Charleston after long days of sightseeing and this home was perfect! Well stocked, very clean and organized, so we will be sure to stay again in the future! Safe, family oriented neighborhood with Harris Teeter & many restaurants nearby.

We couldn’t have been any happier or more comfortable! We felt right at home as the property had all the amenities and we felt completely safe - great neighborhood. Location was drivable with easy access to and from wherever our daily destinations took us. Highly recommend and would return anytime without any thought of staying elsewhere.

Great location on James Island

We came to James Island to visit our son, his wife and 4 grandchildren. We were very busy during the day with the family but my husband and I needed something close by to retreat to in the evenings and overnight. This property was perfect for our needs. Very clean, well appointed and in a quiet residential neighborhood. Couldn’t of asked for a better setup and location.

Perfect getaway

The place is the most stocked rental we’ve had. They thought of everything including beach gear, crib, high chair, dog treats, etc. it was quite impressive. Owners were super nice and responsive. 15min to folly beach and 20 minutes to Charleston. Quiet neighborhood too

Palm Key

The unit was very nice and extremely clean. We didn't use the kitchen much but it had everything you needed to eat in. Beds were very comfortable bathrooms were nice. The only suggestion is more seating in the living room. For the two of us it was fine.

Perfect spot between Folly and Charleston

Palm Key was a perfect home for my husband and I with our dog for 2 weeks. It is in a nice residential neighborhood with not a lot going on be we did enjoy neighborhood walks and backyard playtime with the dog. What's great about the location is the proximity to both Folly Beach and Charleston which we thoroughly enjoyed. The house itself is immaculate and provisioned with anything you would hope for - from beach chairs and kitchen spices to laundry detergent and charging cables. Lee and Kim were responsive and flexible. We hope to be able to visit this area again and will definitely stay at Palm Key when we do

Palm Key- A Home Away From Home

Palm Key had everything our family could have asked for and some. I have never stayed in a VRBO that was so welcoming, homey, and cozy! It literally has it all. To top it off it’s in the best location on James Island anyone could ask for. The neighborhood is safe and it’s located about 8-10 minutes from the Folly Beach or Downtown Charleston. It had everything you could ask for from baby gear, beach essentials, fully stocked to the MAX kitchen. Kim and Lee were incredibly responsive and even helped us receive a package during our stay there. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone and plan on booking another trip here soon!

Great Home with Southern Charm

While my wife and I were not able to join our daughter and son-in-law at Palm Key in Charleston this year, we were able to gift our stay at Palm Key to them for an amazing stay in one of the best places in the South. Our family called and texted daily with all the incredible visits they made to all the sights Charleston had to offer. They ate at incredible restaurants moments from the house and enjoyed evenings on the beach located 10 minutes away. Kim and Lee made our family's stay very special with a well prepared and nicely equipped home, which made experimenting with a few recipes easy to do. My wife and I hope to enjoy a stay at Palm Key again in 2025, as I know my daughter and son-in-law will do too.

Lee and Kim are possibly the best host I have ever experienced. We experienced a small bump during our stay, in which they responded very fast and efficiently to fix the issue. The house itself has a very cozy/warm feeling. During our stay it was 4 adults and the house was a perfect fit, not too big and not too small. It was the perfect distance from Folly Beach (13 minutes) and downtown Charleston (17 minutes). I would highly recommend this place if you are not wanting to stay in downtown Charleston but want to be close. They have beach towels, sand toys, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, a couple of coolers and some life jackets for kids. Which is wonderful considering those are things you may need or want when going to the beach but if you fly to Charleston you wouldn’t bring with you. They also have extra shampoo, conditioner, and body washes in case you forgot or run out. Lee and Kim have seriously thought of everything you may need when staying here. They have plenty of kitchen utensils if you are more of a cook at home person rather than eat out. Lastly, my dad was using crutches during his stay and was easily able to get in and out of the house and around the house. That was a huge thing for my family when booking this VRBO was wanting to find a place that would be easy for someone to get around with in crutches but not too far away from everything we were planning on doing.
