Whether exploring our gorgeous historic city (6mi north) or splashing in the ocean (7mi east), you can’t go wrong with a stay here on James Island, a striking barrier island of Charleston. We've prepared a private space in our pet and smoke-complimentary home which includes one bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, a full bath with shower/tub and a cozy TV lounge that offers a breakfast/work table and a coffee station with mini-refrigerator and microwave. You’ll find your rooms to be immaculately clean & fresh.
Do you prefer the City or the Beach? We’ll take BOTH!
If you’re ready for a anxiety-complimentary adventure in the “Low Country” of South Carolina you’ve found the right place! Our home is just over the bridge from historic downtown Charleston.
You can comfortably spend a day or two exploring our handsome “Holy City”, named for the abundance of church steeples. The average Uber/Lyft fare to get there is just around $10. Bring your walking shoes, because once there, it’s painless to wander in and out of stores, alleys, pubs, gardens, museums and along the historic waterfront. Old Town Charleston is relatively compact, so a car isn’t really necessary. And if you need a break from walking there’s always a pedi-cab ready to carry you to your next destination.
Or…you can head for the ocean and discover Folly Beach, just 7 miles east and roughly $15 for a 20 min. Uber/Lyft ride. Folly is our laid-back coastal beach community, dubbed the “Edge of America” by locals. It is an active beach town with plenty of stores, eateries and music to keep you entertained, along with a handsome coastline and plenty of sandy beach for sunbathing, swimming or walking.
So, you see? Whether you’re looking for a historical, cultural, educational, musical, theatrical or gastronomical adventure or you just want to kick back, build sand castles, splash in the water, eat some great seafood and listen to beach music, you can’t go wrong!
We’re also within a half hour to 45-min. drive from Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley and Johns, Wadmalaw, Seabrook and Kiawah Islands!
Want to kick your relaxation up a notch? Then arrangements can be made for an in-home therapeutic Swedish massage by a Licensed Massage Therapist. Please make this request during our initial communications.
Enter through our front door ~ just like you live here! There are no keys to find or keep track of ~ just your private lock code for the keyless entry. The scent from an aromatherapy diffuser will create your first impression as you enter. Your space is blocked off by sliding, locked doors, and we use an alternate entry when guests are visiting, so you will appreciate a completely private experience.
We strive to create an eco-friendly suite, using natural, chemical-complimentary products for cleaning and laundering. The toothpaste, soaps and shampoo/conditioner included are chemical-complimentary as well.
You are welcome to sit outside on our front porch and watch the world go by. There are two chairs and a side table for your comfort. The only requirement is that you must wave to our neighbors as they go by walking their doggies…
TV Parlor:
Unwind and have your morning drink in our TV lounge. We've supplied the coffee/tea bar with the supplies necessary to make your stay comfortable. The Keurig-like coffee maker is fast and hot and “pods” are supplied. You’ll find fresh filtered water in the refrigerated Brita pitcher. The microwave accepts for quick heat-ups for your drinks or any food you may choose to bring in. Our guests use these items frequently to prepare simple meals. There’s also a popcorn popper for those late-nighttime hunger pangs.
We provide you with bottled water, coffee and tea and all the plates, bowls, coffee cups, drinking glasses, silverware, silverware and towels you should need as well as salt, pepper, popcorn, raw sugar, cocoa and local honey.
Grocery stores, gas station markets, liquor stores, Walgreens and plenty of varied eateries are within 1 to 3 miles for any other vacation cravings.
You’ll have a Samsung 34” flat panel TV in the lounge. We use HD Antennas to pull in our 13 local TV stations and ROKU for many more interesting tv and movie options, along with Netflix. (there’s no cable tv). Wifi 5G is available. And if you want to unplug, we’ve added books and games to the mix ~ there’s even a yoga mat if you feel so inclined!
The couch in this room folds open to become a twin sized bed. Extra linens, blankets pillows and pillowcases for the couch are furnished. There’s a breakfast/work table with two dining chairs and an additional side chair for your comfort.
The closet in the TV Parlor can be used for your storage while visiting. There are also folding chairs, a modest cooler and a beach bag with bamboo mats, towels and swim noodles for two to relax at Folly Beach during your stay.
We keep the temperature at 71 during the day and 68 at nighttime. Ceiling fans are overhead for added comfort.
The Suite:
Your suite consists of the front entryway and hallway, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, a tv lounge with coffee station and couch that folds out to a twin sized bed and a full bathroom with shower/tub. You'll find everything needed for a short or long stay; a ideal getaway for business or enjoyment travelers.
You’ll find your rooms to be immaculately clean and fresh. Ours is a pet- and smoke-complimentary home. We’ll also do our best to keep cooking smells to a minimum during your stay.
The Neighborhood:
In 1979 our cozy home was constructed as the model home for this well-established residential community. Our home is a legally allowed short term rental property with off-street parking alongside our driveway. You’ll notice Spanish moss-covered live oaks lining many of the streets along your drive.
We expect our guests to be respectful of our home and neighbors and we will enforce the home rules of no events, amplified music or loud noises and no smoking. Any breach of the home rules will result in a forfeit of your security deposit in full.
We live in a safe and peaceful neighborhood which is great for morning and evening walks or runs. And if you’re a run/walker we’re in the middle of multiple beautiful locations for longer treks; the James Island County Park, West Ashley Greenway, Ft. Lamar Heritage Preserve and Sunrise Park…but more on that later…
Charleston is a foodie town. It’s difficult to find a bad meal here because there is such intense competition amongst the area eateries. So eat up! Within 3 miles you can find BBQ, Bagels, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Mexican, Burgers, Seafood and they’re all locally owned, non-chain, yumminess!
And if you want to hit the gym after all that food, there’s Golds Gym, O2 Exercise, Pivotal Exercise, Orange Theory and Cross Fit James Island somewhere down the road.
Transportation:
Uber and Lyft are everywhere these days and so, available for your vacation needs as well. The average Uber fee from our home to the Charleston International Airport (18mi / 30min) usually runs about $30. A trip to Folly Beach (7mi / 20min) is roughly $15 and to downtown Charleston (6mi / 11min) is just around $10. Uber Eats is also available for food delivery!
Though there are no traditional hop-on, hop-off bus tours in Charleston, they do have a complimentary city trolley called the CARTA DASH Trolley. These travel through the historic part of Charleston, accepting you to to see much of what you would on the other guided tours, though without any commentary. However, if you use their Self-Guided Tour of Historic Charleston during your ride, you’ll never know the difference!
There are 3 different routes that the trolley takes:
• Route 210 (Orange) drives from College of Charleston to the Aquarium.
• Route 211 (Green) will take you to the waterfront, Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon, and City Market
• Route 213 (Purple) connects Brittlebank Park and Riley Stadium to the historic city center.
Each of these routes meet at the Visitors Center, Marion Park and Charleston Museum. Maps are available at each of these locations. You can search Free Tours By Foot for more information.
We've always got our ears perked for new/better/interesting information to offer our guests. There will be maps, brochures, menus, promos and the latest City Paper in your lounge when you arrive.
Please Note: While I typically do not meet my guests, due to my work schedule, I am available via text and quick to respond in an efficient manner to your requests, questions or needs.
We look forward to having you as our guests!

Vacation rental tips:
Get the most from your budget:
- In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
- Book your Charleston area rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
- Property managers frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
- Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.
Selecting the best rental in Charleston:
- Start by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
- Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Relax in Your Own Private Suite in Charleston's James Island! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
- Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
- If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
- Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
More considerations for your visit:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of problems.
- Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
- To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
- Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
- Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
- After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
