The space
Our home makes a great "home base" for busy days at work or at play in the Charleston area. You will appreciate quick freeway access which makes getting around a breeze. We are located:
25 minutes from Mt. Pleasant, downtown Charleston, & West Ashley's plantations;
30 minutes to IOP/Sullivan's beaches;
15 minutes to Summerville, the airport, & Tanger Outlets;
5-10 minutes to grocery stores, mall, Target/Wal-mart, hospital & Wannamaker Park (playground, water park, etc.).

We own the entire property and a have both sides of the property as short term rentals (See Child-Friendly Retreat Near Charleston for our other listing). Our home is approximately 1650 sq ft. Bright living room has stylish & comfortable furniture, including 2 reclining swivel chairs. We have only one TV (a smart one!) in the house, located here. We have a bright, spacious, well- appointed kitchen should you like to enjoy some baking or cooking while you're here! Due to allergies/asthma, our home is pet, smoke, and carpet free.

We have three bedrooms:
The master has a Casper Element king sized bed, en suite bathroom with tub, dual closets with plenty of shelving and hanging space, private sitting area, lamps with USB charging ports, ceiling fan, and room-darkening drapes.

The second bedroom has a Casper Element queen bed and a crib (height appropriate for toddler), a dresser with changing pad, walk in closet, a nursing chair (swivels, rocks, and reclines), ceiling fan, and black-out drapes.

The third bedroom has a twin bunk bed with removable bed rails (effectively making the bottom bunk double as a toddler bed, and making it easier to change linens). Bunk bed does not have a ladder (big kids can climb up the side no problem), preventing little ones from accessing top bunk. Room has plenty of floor space, books and toys for playing, a walk in closet large enough for a travel crib, a floor fan (safe for little ones!), and black-out drapes.

House has a small, bright office nook with two workspaces. Laundry room has front loading washer and dryer. Both bathrooms have tubs. All blinds in home are cord free and we keep outlet covers on low, exposed outlets. We have a Keekaroo high chair, a KidKraft playset, and several other outdoor toys. Private fully fenced back yard has lots of room for little ones to run around and a patio for grilling out or enjoying a meal. Property is well lit from the street to the backyard by automatic exterior and security lighting. Off street parking is available for 2 to 3 cars. Neighborhood has a tennis court & playground, & our house is located 2 blocks from a fire station in the event of an emergency.


Other things to note:
Please note that an active train track does run directly behind our house, but trains are normally not allowed to blow their whistles, so it is just the rail noise. If you are a light sleeper, we suggest you bring ear plugs or a white noise machine. It does not disturb us or our children.

We really want you to have a great experience in our home, and will do all we can to make sure that happens. Please let us know beforehand if you have questions about the amenities our home has to offer, and during your stay if you have any question, need, or problem. We are always available (text or platform messaging best) during your stay.

One of our favorite things to do is go on a walk or ride bikes through our beautiful neighborhood, which also has a playground, a reservoir front park, and tennis courts, all short walks away. Our neighborhood is regularly monitored by police (watch those stop signs!) and grocery stores, restaurants, and shops are right outside the neighborhood.

An active train track runs behind our house, but you will rarely hear a whistle unless there is an emergency. We suggest a sound machine if the rail noise will bother you at night.
