Private, Peaceful, & Immaculately Clean

A Note on Pricing

Our prices reflect the care we put into maintaining this space and the consistent quality our guests expect. If you value a clean, peaceful, and dependable stay, you’ll feel right at home here.

I personally clean and prepare the bungalow after every guest. This isn’t a fast turnover — it’s a careful reset so each guest arrives to a spotless, welcoming space that feels brand new. My cleaning fee simply reflects that level of care and pride, guest consistently mention how exceptionally clean and well cared-for it is.

Our City of Charleston COO # is OP2025-06392. Business # 024432-04-2021.

Just a quick note on payments...“We keep it simple and fair — half is due when you book, and the rest about a month before your stay. No surprises, just tranquility of mind.”

Concerning Weather:
We do not provide refunds for circumstances outside our control, such as inclement weather, power outages, or natural disasters. We recommend you purchase travel insurance, offered when booking, to protect against such unexpected disruptions.
