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 relaxing 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.

Finding the best Charleston area rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. Booking your Charleston area vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Clean, Private Guesthouse-9 min. to Downtown Charleston, 15 min. to FollyBeach! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you crave, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
