Having reserved parking was great. The home was clean and spacious. The outdoor area was beautiful, we spent a lot of time on the porch. It was a convenient walk to King Street. All the appliances were new, the bathrooms were very nice with plenty of towels. There were a lot of little extras like the sound machines and USB ports.

Property as advertised, actually even better. The home was decorated in a coastal theme and very nice. The porch and courtyard is amazing. We spent a lot time enjoying the area. Tom and Hannah are exceptional hosts. A big shout out to Brandy who assisted us with a small issue.The only comment is that there is a 1.5ft step up to get to the courtyard snd the property. If someone has mobility issues can be a challenge.Location is less than 5min from King St and downtown Charleston in general. Very easy to navigate.Property is highly recommended.

Great location /

Wife and three kids (ages 11 - 17) visited for a four day trip. North King St with shops and restaurants are two blocks away. Other sights and areas of King St. are an easy 5-10 min drive. The owners reached out quickly to answer any questions and their instructions were helpful and made the trip a breeze.

The Palms is a cute southern charm property. It is close to everything--just bring your walking shoes. The property manager was in contact with us to ensure a great stay.

Great Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Hidden Oasis. It was a great location; close to everything. The house was very comfortable. It was especially nice meeting the other guests, sharing a bottle of wine. The host shares all information ahead of time that makes check in very easy. Everything needed was supplied. I highly recommend this rental.

Amazing Stay!

Family of 5 adults, first time to Charleston. The home was exactly as described and as the photos showed. Perfect size for us. Small touches were so nice—toiletries to start plus plenty of paper goods. Especially enjoyed the complimentary coffee! Had a small hiccup and the hosts were extremely responsive:) Loved the outdoor area and the porch! Can’t wait to return and would definitely rent this unit again!

The Palms is stunningly beautiful. The location is PERFECT. So many walkable restaurants. The courtyard is incredible with amazing attention to detail. We loved lounging on the porch and outdoor furniture. The suite was decorated so nicely and was very well equipped. Everything was spotless and so clean. We will absolutely be telling our friends and family about this place and will stay here on our next visit to Charleston. 100% recommend!

College visit & spring break

We love Charleston, and we have been visiting for years. This time, we were joined by extended family on their spring break, combined with a college visit for my niece. This rental was perfect for us! Knowing it would not be beach weather, we decided to stay in town. The first thing we noticed was that the unit was exceptionally clean. The outdoor area was lovely and comfortable. Everything about the unit was comfortable and beautifully decorated. The location was great and walkable to everything we wanted to do. The owners were accessible, and they provided great resources for the area. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay for our girls weekend! The location was perfect—just steps from King Street and within easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do. The house was spotless and very well maintained. Check-in was super easy and hassle-free. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor space—it was a great spot to relax and hang out after a day of exploring. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Charleston Escape

We had a very nice 3 night stay. The three bedroom unit was very well appointed and the community courtyard was a great plus. The weather allowed us to use both our covered porch as well as the courtyard sitting area. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. Location was truly one block off King, a plus. But with that location comes the street noise of vehicles, pedestrians, and the nearby fire station.

We spent 5 nights at The Palms Suite A and were so impressed by the accommodations and the hospitality! The Suite was beautiful, comfortable, and convenient. Just what we were looking for.

We had a great stay at The Palms. The location was the best and we could walk everywhere. The Palms was spacious, nicely decorated and had everything we could possibly need for a great stay. The outdoor area was beautiful. We stayed with our two teenage sons and their grandparents and we all had plenty of room. Our oldest son plans on going to the College of Charleston next year so hopefully we can stay here many more times when we visit.
