About this property

Home Away From Home

This little gem is sure to make you feel at home! Beautifully renovated, the Barefoot Bungalow sits on a quiet residential street just a few minutes from downtown Hartsville. The beds are comfortable, the couch is just waiting for you to settle in, and the kitchen was set up by two people who LOVE to cook. Washer and dryer are included. There's even an outdoor space to have a quick meal or enjoy the cool of the evening. This is our little dream cottage and we are so happy to be able to share it with you!

Our house is conveniently located in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood that is close to everything. The comfortable bedrooms feature blackout curtains and share a connecting bathroom. The laundry room is off the living room and offers a full-size washer and dryer. The full kitchen is ready for a quick sandwich or a full meal. There is plenty of off-street parking. The backyard is filled with a gorgeous ancient spreading oak tree that provides plenty of shade.

The house is small, perfect for two couples or a small family. Groups of more than 4 adults will find it too small to be comfortable.

You'll have the entire house to yourself. We use the garage behind the house as a workshop and may visit the garage during your stay, but we will endeavor not to disturb you.

Awesome Experience!

Audrey's Barefoot Bungalow was the best place we have ever stayed away from home. She has thought of everything to make you feel like you are right at home & I mean everything! The only things you need to bring is yourself, your clothes, your toothbrush, & your shampoo. Other than that, you are set!

About the host

Hosted by Audrey Childers

Host profile image
I've lived in Hartsville most of my life and I love this community! My boyfriend and I live just down the road with our goofy dog and several chickens. We love to spend time outdoors, cook, play in the ocean, and build things in our free time.

Why they chose this property

Hartsville is a great place to be! Friendly, welcoming, with plenty to see and do. Kalmia Gardens is just down the road and the perfect place for a picnic. Downtown is filled with coffee shops, restaurants, and great little shops.

What makes this property unique

When I bought this little gem, she needed lots of love. Over the course of a year, we spent countless hours fixing her up inside and out. I planned to live there, so I made it as cozy and comfortable as I could. Life has a way of happening and plans change, so instead, I'm renting the house out to visitors who will enjoy the comfort and amenities the house provides.
