The Space: Truly a Quiet Private Retreat
While Charleston is undeniably handsome, it is still a busy city. Our relaxing and serene home offers three key features for a peaceful stay:

1. Location: Tucked back from the street, our home ensures a peaceful
ambiance without the noise of passing cars, unlike most other properties which are street front. Walk to King St or any of the surrounding coffee stores, bars and hidden gem eateries in the neighborhood.

2. Exclusive Privacy: Many guest accommodations in Charleston are sizable homes split into condos, but The Retreat is a standalone home exclusively for you. Say goodbye to shared walls or neighboring events, and appreciate uninterrupted privacy. Wifi extenders for our high speed wifi provide coverage even in the backyard!

3. Private Fenced Backyard: Unwind with your appreciated ones in our secluded, fenced backyard. There’s not many similar back yards in the area, providing a unique space where you can relax with your family and friends. The outdoor grille is no longer for guest use.

The Front Porch
The front porch gets the morning sunlight, it’s the ideal spot to start your day as you sip your morning coffee while listening to the birds

Once settled in, you'll find that you won’t need your car unless you plan to go to the beach, which is just a 20-min. drive away.
We provide one off-street parking spot. Due to the secluded location of the home, upsized cars (e.g. a Ford Expedition) will find the driveway tight and should park on the street.

Finding the best Charleston area rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.

You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Charleston area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
