Wonderful location. Felt like a safe residential neighborhood. About 10-15 minutes to downtown and 15 minutes to Folly beach. Very clean. Great water pressure in the shower. Comfortable bed and couch. 5 stars!

Nice Little Cottage, Good Location

Overall was a nice place to stay. Centerally located to almost anything you could want to do in Charelston and the surrounding area. Was pretty clean and had most of the basic supplies you would need for cooking.
