The two bedroom two bath cottage we stayed in was beautiful on the inside. All the appliances beds. Everything was top quality. The only fallback was some of the surrounding area was not the best. Saying that it was still a very safe area. Very close to Charleston and we were able to do what we wanted to easily and then come back and rest all in all it was great other than some of the scenery near it.

Darling Cottage

This property was so wonderful on the inside! Comfy. Cozy, great kitchen, nice beds and towels! The neighborhood was a bit odd, a mix of small businesses, trailer homes and small homes. A great stay for a couple of nights. Easy access to Downtown and the gardens.

Perfect Charleston Getaway

This super cute property is IMMACULATELY clean with all necessary amenities provided and even some non-necessary ones ( a record player!!) We were about a 15 minute drive down to the water to stroll down Meeting Street, visit Ft. Sumter, and shop at the City Market. We had a quiet, peaceful stay and would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Charleston!
