Fantastic host and great location!

We had a great experience staying here. Sarah is a host who will go above and beyond to help - and she was always quick to respond. The location was perfect! Most activities were 10-15 min away. We stayed here with our 4 year old, and we had plenty of space. Access to the neat backyard was also very much appreciated. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect stay!

Sara‘s house was meticulously clean, very conveniently located (10 minutes to the beach, 10 minutes to downtown, restaurants within walking distance), the “busy “road was never an issue, it was dead quiet at night. We had a great time in Charleston, and at Folly Beach, and will definitely be back!

Perfect for our infant son

We had a mini family vacation in Charleston with our 18 month old son. It was so nice that there was a pack n play and portable high chair and we didn’t have to pack ours. It wasn’t too far from downtown and it worked well for our visit!

Great house and location!

We loved our stay! House was clean and no more than 10-15 minutes from everything Charleston has to offer! We really appreciated the fresh eggs and the pack and play for our 5 month old! The fire pit made for a great way to end the day. Would highly recommend!
