About this property

Unique Zen Tiny House 2 mi to Beach ~ Free Bikes! Minutes to Historic Charleston

If you've ever seen Tiny House Nation and thought you would like to experience living in a unique tiny house, then here is your chance. The Zen tiny house isn't on wheels but is a modern flat tucked underneath a huge magnolia tree in my backyard inside a quiet, historic neighborhood with huge live oaks. The beaches are only 2.25 miles away and downtown Charleston about a 10-15 minute car ride. Use the complimentary cruiser bikes and ride to the beach or ride downtown and catch the spectacular view over the Ravenel Bridge.

Goods as advertised. In the middle of all sorts of dining and shopping. A quick trip over the bridge and you're in downtown Charleston. The host was friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for the beach and 4th of july. Would definitely stay again next time we are in town.

We booked the Zen Tiny House for our 1 year wedding anniversary trip to Charleston. We loved staying here! It is only about a 10 minute drive to Charleston and in a lovely neighborhood. There were plenty of wonderful restaurants close by if you didn’t feel like traveling to the city. The tiny home itself is absolutely adorable. It was well stocked with essentials and had plenty of items in case you forgot something. We had never stayed in a tiny home before, but we now have high expectations for future trips! Cristina was very responsive and answered any questions you had regarding the tiny home and local places to stop at. She had directions on how to take a bike ride to Sullivans Island, and different literature for sights to see/places to eat. I would absolutely recommend staying at the Zen Tiny House, and will plan to stay there on our next trip to Mount Pleasant!

We never fell from the balcony and managed to negotiate the ladder even at our chronologically challenged ages. What a sweet little Zen nest. Christina was wonderfully communicative and the setup of the house was thoughtfully arranged. Amenities were ample and the karma was absolutely delightful.

Thank you so much for a comfortable and cozy night! The bananas and granola bars were such a nice surprise! It saved us from having to go out for breakfast before heading to the Yorktown for our Cub Scout trip. A great time saver! Thank you! Amanda & Sam

Pleasant in Mt. Pleasant

It is a "Tiny House!" Everything was just the right size for me. I loved the bikes and being able ride to the beach. Everything I needed was in walking distance. Lyft helped get us to the farther places we wanted to visit. All in all I enjoyed my stay. This would be an amazing get away for someone who wants to spend time reflecting, regrouping or renewing what they are here to do. Oh! Stella and Thelma are very sweet.

Reminded me of a cute little Barbie House

Hey, don't knock the cuteness before you try it. This tiny house rocks!. It has clean lines, IKEA-style, and the creature comforts that are needed. The hostess is delightful and very helpful. It is close to all things Charleston without sacrificing your shekels to stay downtown. We enjoyed several great restaurants nearby too. Did I fail to mention that it is walking distance to Starbucks? Anyway, don't be afraid to climb a ladder. This tiny gem will warm your heart.

Tiny home without hot tub

I was looking for a place for my mom and I to stay with a hot tub near the beach. The listing included a hot tub, but we was very disappointed when we got there when there was not one. the owner apologized and took off the hot tub off the listing. The couch is very uncomfortable.. I would not recommend for older people. I would not rely on the bicycles. They do need repairs and the chains were rusty.

Location, privacy, function: look no further

My fiancé and I stayed two nights in the tiny house and didn't want to leave. It was absolutely adorable, clean, and the location was perfect for visiting Sullivan's Island (our fave), Boone Hall, Shem Creek, and just over the bridge to downtown. The houses in the neighborhood are stunning. The area is super quiet. Getting Uber/Lyft rides was a cinch. My fiancé is 6'6" and he fit in all the rooms negotiated the loft just fine. Oh, and walking distance to Starbucks which appears to be the only coffee joint open on Sundays in the area. We would 100% stay here again and have already recommended it to our friends.

About the host

Hosted by Cristina

Host profile image
I'm a native Charlestonian and have lived in Mount Pleasant for the majority of my life. I love basically anything that has to do with the ocean and ocean sports.I know a lot about Charleston and the surrounding areas from the best places to eat to finding a hassel-free parking spot downtown. Just hit me up during your stay for suggestions.

Why they chose this property

The Zen Tiny House is located in the highly-coveted Old Village/Old Mount Pleasant neighborhood. This is the oldest neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant where houses date back to the 1700s. This is a great area to ride the free bikes around and check out the historic houses, explore quaint shops, have lunch at the Post House restaurant, stop off for a glass of wine at the OV Wine Bar, or grab a milk shake at Pitt Street Pharmacy with its old-timey Soda Fountain counter..

What makes this property unique

The Zen Tiny House is centrally located between the beaches and downtown Charleston. And don't let the square footage scare you, the tiny house is quite roomy and has everything you need considering it's just under 300 square feet. Guests can enjoy the free use of cruiser bikes to ride the neighborhood or to the beach. It's also fun to ride over the Ravenel Bridge to downtown Charleston. Its location is an easy walk to several nice restaurants/bars just a few blocks away. There are two grocery stores less than half a mile away, Whole Foods is about three miles away, and there is a great place to get a facial or massage just down the street. Also, If you need to do laundry, I have a washer/dryer that will be available to you if requested. There is a very friendly standard poodle, Stella, that can be briefly in the yard sometimes. If she sees you she will bark, she is a lover not a fighter, so don't let her scare you. However, if you are afraid of dogs, please let me know. I will make sure that she doesn't go outside in the backyard without me with her when you are there.
