Island Oasis—Near Downtown

SarahRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The place that Chris provided was excellent! Everything is super clean and looks exactly like the photos online. We loved how this location was right in the middle of all the activities we had planned in any direction. Chris was super easy to communicate with and is very responsive. We didn’t use the grill but it’s great there was one available. Loved that there was also beach chairs and a beach umbrella for when we went the beach. His dog Django is the best and greeted us every morning and is such an easy going pup! We would definitely stay here again.

New Loft in Historic Summerville

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

We had a wonderful stay at David’s. The space was exactly what we were looking for - clean, quiet, and comfortable.

5 STAR 1bd/1ba Shem Creek Retreat in #1 MtP area!

AndrewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

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

GarethRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This was a lovely place to stay for a week-long trip to visit beautiful Charleston. Perfect location - nice quiet neighborhood only 10 minutes from Folly Beach and 15 minutes from downtown. Accommodations were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The decor has an awesome beachy/Palm Springs-like vibe. The private back garden is a great place to relax and for your pups to play (very dog friendly hosts!) Caitlin and Spencer are a lovely couple that will give you your space but are always available to help or offer recommendations for local things to do. Overall, a brilliant place to stay.

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.

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.

Beach, downtown, Alhambra Hall weddings so close!

SheaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had a fantastic stay! The home was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, and little touches—like the fresh flowers from the garden & chocolates—made it feel extra special. It’s clear a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome here. The beaches and local eateries were close by and easy to get to from the airbnb, and the area is definitely family friendly. Highly recommend, and we’d love to stay again!

Leisure Lane-Private Apt on 22 acre Horse Farm

JosephRating, 5 stars2 days ago
This was our favorite Airbnb stay yet! The 22-acre horse farm is peaceful, private, and surrounded by woods—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We had our own entrance, and even though the space is on the lower level, it never felt like a basement. It was beautifully decorated, and spotless. The bed was super comfortable, and the ambiance made us feel instantly at home. We loved all the thoughtful touches—washer and dryer, three types of coffee makers, and so many small details. It was incredibly quiet and cozy. Megan was a fantastic host—responsive, kind, and clearly puts a lot of care into the space. We’re already planning our next visit!

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.

James Island "La Casita" Nestled btw Beach & City

AlyssaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great stay here! The space is beautiful and extremely clean. We really appreciated the attentiveness to little details, like having extra hair ties and toothbrushes in the bathroom, snacks, and providing a pass to be able to access various county parks in the area. John was extremely responsive and answered every question quickly. The view out the window in the morning is breathtaking and the balcony is a nice place to hang out and get some sun. The location is private but not too far from the beach or downtown. We really appreciate John and his family for sharing their space with us!
