About this property

Adorable bungalow close to downtown and Folly Beach! Park pass included!

Beautiful cottage surrounded by lovely landscaping. Just a 10 minute drive to the beach and roughly 15 minutes to downtown Charleston. You will enjoy spending time in this 1 bedroom, 1 bath cottage right in the center of James Island. From the time you pull in the driveway, you will notice the attention to detail. Pack your bags for a trip to Charleston! The property is fully equipped with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, sheets, towels. In addition, there is toilet paper and paper towels. While staying at this property, you will enjoy the screened in patio with a dining table for 4. There are also two comfortable chairs for sipping your morning coffee on the porch. When you feel like going to the beach, don’t bother packing your beach chair as there are 2 chairs along with boogie boards and beach towels. When you come home from the beach, you may even want to use the outdoor shower! Very private shower and the back of the house. In the evenings, whether you want to go out or stay in, there are tons of restaurants close by. However, when you feel like staying in, there is a grill at the property and a perfect area outside great for cooking out and enjoying the exterior features of this home.
There is even a fire pit right by the outdoor seating area guests are welcome to use. Whether you are coming for a long relaxing weekend or even a business trip, this home has it all! Take advantage of the County Park pass this home provides. The local park is only a couple miles away and has plenty to do! Great walking paths, bike rentals, paddleboard and kayak rentals too! This pass also allows you into the other local parks Charleston has to offer. What more can you ask for!

Great place for our honeymoon!

We had a great time staying here on our honeymoon. Everything was very convenient to get to, only 15 minutes to downtown or the beach. The park pass was great for getting to the best secluded beach spot. We loved sitting on the screen porch during the thunderstorms!

Golf weekend

Stayed here for an extended weekend and LOVED it. Very quiet and private. Used the fire pit one night and loved it. We Ubered into town every night which was super easy. Bed was very comfy and the bungalow was spotless- we hope to stay here again for another golf vacation.

Looking forward to a 2nd visit

This bungalow is perfect in every way. Conveniently located for access to Folly Beach, to everything on the historic peninsula, and to events at The Citadel, it is in a tranquil, quiet area of James Island. All the accommodations and furnishings in the bungalow are very nice: from the full kitchen, the spacious washer & dryer-equipped bathroom, to the comfortable bed cooled by a ceiling fan. We look forward to staying there again in the future and will recommend the bungalow to friends.

Folly a deux

We very much enjoyed our stay in this charming bungalow on James Island. We would have wished for warmer weather the first week we were there (mid Feb) but this last week of Deb the weather has warmed up and we used the screened in porch as well as the chairs outside. The hostess was charming and helped advise us on placed to visit and restaurants. Five stars!

Home away Home

A short drive across the bridge to downtown. If you have an active day in the city the bath shower has the greatest water pressure with added jets. The studio unit sits in a residential area behind the main house on picturesque acreage.

Clean and Cozy

The property is in a great location. Very clean and unique bungalow. The bathroom is nice and the shower was awesome. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is the bed was not very comfortable. Would recommend adding a mattress topper or else it’s very stiff. Other than that we had a great stay.

Visiting my son

Had an awesome time (as always) while visiting my son. Loved having the screened in porch for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Was able to cook for my son, his girlfriend, and a roommate one evening and then enjoy sitting around the fire pit. Truly a great property and location. Only downside is the amount of money I will now have to pay to build a screened in porch at home ;)

Comfy, Cozy, and Relaxing!

My husband and I had an incredible stay here. Was such a cozy end to our trip. It was nice being near downtown Charleston but still have a quiet space to retreat to. An added bonus, the bathroom is insane with the most awesome set up.

Beautiful space with attention to detail

We really enjoyed our stay here! The property/landscaping is beautiful to look at every day, we really admired the outdoor space. We also really appreciated the attention to detail in the cottage - lots of little things available for your use that most places wouldn't have. We do agree that the couch wasn't very comfortable (and is also not the same couch as in the photos), but to be fair, we wouldn't have used the couch as much as we did had we not had an unexpected visitor (Tropical Storm Debby) during our stay. But we were grateful to have the cottage to hunker down in for a few days.

Cute and secluded but close to everything

We really enjoyed staying at the bungalow. The location is perfect - close to beaches, downtown, N. Charleston, and lots of restaurants. The house was clean (aside from a few bugs - but it’s Charleston in the summer so that’s impossible to avoid) and had plenty of supplies for things we forgot (bug spray, paper towels, etc.). Josephine and David are super friendly and welcoming! The only minor complaint is that the bed is very low to the ground. Other than that, perfect stay!

A great stay

The property is in a great location, but even better, it felt homey for the week we stayed in Charleston. No bad reviews here. We would suggest this bungalow to anyone who was looking for a one bedroom place to stay in Charleston.

Why they chose this property

Very well maintained bungalow situated in a secluded area. Great little escape for couples looking for some R&R! You will not be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

Centrally located on James Island. You are 10 minutes to historic Charleston and only 15 minutes to the closest beach, Folly Beach! Excellent restaurants nearby and plenty of grocery stores too! The home comes with a park pass that will gain you access to the local parks. There is one about 2 miles away and also one on Folly Beach. Safe neighborhood. Great for walking. Lovely screened in porch for relaxing, playing a game, or just enjoying the outdoor temps!
