Centrally located for your beach hideaway, or business trip. James Island is close to everything, and very painless to get to.

In addition to the bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, and living room, our backyard is a fabulous place to hang out. We have huge picnic table, a gas grille, a hot tub, a sizable garden, and a fire pit. So much to appreciate as you are waterfront. You are even welcome to fish in the waterway (catch & release), or use our canoe for a jaunt down the estuary. Please note: our backyard is shared with other guests.

We are centrally located on James Island, about 10 mins. from Downtown Charleston, 15 to Folly Beach, close to historical landmarks, eateries, museums, and tons of fun things to do. The closest beach is about five mins. down the road. We are close to stores, museums, eateries, and entertainment. There is a grocery store one block away (with a Starbucks inside).

One thing to note: We are on a busy street. Please do not book if being on a busy street will bother you, as there is nothing we can do to change this, and bad reviews are unfair based on our location. Most of our negative reviews have been because of the busy street, which we cannot control. All we can do is be very clear about it, and request that because our guests know this before booking, that they do not leave a negative review based on something we cannot control or change. Thank you for your understanding with this. Most of our guests have given us glowing reviews "The best place I've stayed in for my entire 3,000 mile road trip," etc. You will appreciate our place, including our peaceful and serene backyard. But if busy streets are an issue, please don't book our place.

Uber or Lyft are your best bet if you don’t bring a car. It is a short Uber ride to downtown. Feel complimentary to use our grass to turn your car around on. Being on a busy street, it’s easier to pull onto the street when facing forward.

How to get the best Charleston rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal SC. To get the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Charleston area attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Charleston area area:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Clean, Private Guesthouse-9 min. to Downtown Charleston, 15 min. to FollyBeach! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Charleston area beach you long to visit, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
