About this house rental

Situated in James Island, this lovely house for $155 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Welcome to your home away from home! This guest house private, with it's own entrance, and is attached to our house. We recently re-decorated the place. It sleeps 4, with 2 in the queen bed, and 2 on the queen sofa bed. We provide WiFi, toiletries, linens & towels, clothes iron, hair dryer, full kitchen, beach essentials, coffee & tea. Watch waterfowl while sitting by the serene backyard creek, or go on an adventure to Folly or downtown. Centrally located for your beach getaway, or business trip. James Island is close to everything, and very easy to get to. Please note, our dining room shares a wall with the guesthouse bedroom. We never hear our guests, but guests do hear my four kids occasionally, during daytime hours. If you are not ok with this, you may want to stay somewhere else. If hearing kids play is ok with you, I guarantee you will love the comfort, decor, extra touches, location, and cleanliness of our place. In addition to the bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, and living room, our backyard is a wonderful place to hang out. We have large picnic table, a gas grill, a basketball hoop, a large garden, and a fire pit. So much to enjoy as you are waterfront. You are even welcome to fish in the waterway (catch & release), or use our canoe for a jaunt down the estuary. We have a smart TV with many apps to enjoy. If a need for a washer or dryer arises, please just let me know, and we will work something out so that you may use our laundry room. We can only accommodate two guest vehicles. We give you a code to enter on the keypad a few days before you arrive. You can check in anytime after 3pm. We charge a $50 early check-in/late check-out fee, and can only guarantee we can accommodate it on the day of arrival/check out. We love interacting with our guests, but we also respect privacy when guests want to be alone. We are always available by text, phone, or a knock on the door for any needs or questions you have. We are a homeschooling family, so my kids are often home, and love making conversation with others in the backyard. They can also respect your privacy, if that's what you prefer. It's all up to you. No smoking, drugs, or parties. There is a creek behind our house. If you let your children into our backyard, please be aware that the creek is attached, and be water safe. We like to turn the WiFi off while we sleep. It will be off from about midnight to 6am (it is on a timer). If you would prefer to have it on during those hours, please just text me, and I’m happy to accommodate. We have a small, hypoallergenic dog, an indoor cat, and a tiny, indoor bunny, whom you may occasionally see my kids holding outside. All our pets are quiet and friendly, and you are welcome to pet them. We also have some laying hens, whom you will see free ranging around the backyard. My teenage daughter is a Certified Safe Sitter babysitter, and is available to babysit, should you need a sitter while you're here. Please message me if you will need her services. We provide a bag of beach essentials, which includes beach towels, an umbrella, beach chairs (4), and sunscreen, which you are welcome to use during your stay. Does not include snorkeling gear. If you are bringing an infant and you practice Cry-It-Out, please don’t book our place. While we’ve sound-proofed the walls, we have, on occasion, heard babies crying in the bedroom, and it is upsetting for my children to hear. This is not a judgement on your parenting choices, but just a request that you don’t do it in our home. Thank you. We are centrally located on James Island, about 10 minutes from Downtown Charleston, 15 to Folly Beach, close to historical landmarks, restaurants, museums, plantations, and tons of fun things to do. The closest beach is about five minutes down the road. We are close to shops, museums, restaurants, and entertainment. There is a grocery store one block away (with a Starbucks inside). One thing to note: We are on a busy street. Please do not book if being on a busy street will bother you, as there is nothing we can do to change this, and bad reviews are unfair based on our location. Most of our negative reviews have been because of the busy street, which we cannot control. All we can do is be very clear about it, and request that because our guests know this before booking, that they do not leave a negative review based on something we cannot control or change. Thank you for your understanding with this. Most of our guests have given us glowing reviews "The best place I've stayed in for my entire 3,000 mile road trip," etc. I promise you will love our place, including our peaceful and serene backyard. But if busy streets are an issue, please don't book our place. Uber or Lyft are your best bet if you don’t bring a vehicle. It is about a $10 Uber ride to downtown. Feel free to use our grass to turn your car around on. Being on a busy street, it’s easier to pull onto the street when facing forward.

We had a mini family vacation in Charleston with our 18 month old son. It was so nice that there was a pack n play and portable high chair and we didn’t have to pack ours. It wasn’t too far from downtown and it worked well for our visit!

So much more than a hotel room . It gave us a Home-feeling away from Home . We enjoyed coffee in THE garden and THE creek. Well situated to visite Charleston and THE beaches .

Loved this sweet spot. Perfect for my family of 4. The little extras like coffee, tissues and fresh eggs made the experience extra special. It’s nice to travel and not have to pack everything single thing. The backyard was a little oasis.

Sara’s property was perfect for our stay! We had all the amenities we needed and more! She even left fresh eggs in the fridge for us to have breakfast with. Snacks and water were also provided! We enjoyed being close to Folly beach and all Charleston has to offer! On our next stay we hope to enjoy canoeing in the water in the back yard. Stores, gas stations, and restaurants were also located on the same street! We wish our stay could have been longer. We hope to be back again soon. -Elisabeth + Ryan
