Peaceful marsh stay

This is a perfect location for quiet mornings and beautiful sunsets and still close to both Charleston and Folly Beach. Karen’s communication was excellent, and she has thought of everything to have the house fully stocked and comfortable. She answered questions before I knew to ask. This home might be the cleanest I have ever stayed in. There is room to spread out, and the living room on the second level has plenty of room to all be together. There is even a half bath off that living area. Karen’s guest house exceeded my expectations, and we would happily stay here again!

The property and house was very clean and perfect for our group. The beds were also so comfy and the appliances were top notch. 10/10 would recommend this house for any vacation!

Wedding guest base

Great house and location for a Charleston area wedding. The house was super clean and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. Thoughtful interior and updated, modern design. The first floor bedroom and bath was a wonderful haven for us. The space upstairs and on the huge deck off the open kitchen/living room was great for family and friends who stopped by between wedding events. We love both Folly Beach and Johns Island so this location was perfect. Communication with the host could not have been better. Made a point of having it well lit at night when we arrived - so welcoming after a long day of travel and flight delays. The quiet, peaceful marsh views, especially the sunsets, were lovely and so relaxing.

Awesome Stay!

This woderful home is set in a perfect location, allowing short trips to Charleston and Folly Beach. We were a group of 6 adults and had plenty of room to spread out and excellent areas to hang together as well. The marsh views were very cool and we caught a beautiful sunset followed by a morning rainbow! Check in and check out were very easy. All was as described and fhe owner was very accessible as needed. I highly recommend this property!

Amazing property!

We had the most amazing stay. The property is on a beautiful piece of land with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets! The house was clean and well-stocked. Plenty of room for everyone. Karen was super helpful and we really enjoyed talking with her. It was also in a great location. It was about 15 - 20 minutes from downtown Charleston, 10 minutes from Folly beach and easy to access. We can't wait to stay there again.

South Carolina Treasure

We loved our stay at this property, everything about it, inside and out is beautiful. There is plenty of space (and multiple levels) to stretch out and relax after a day of adventuring in Charleston or hanging on Folly Beach. We loved that it was just outside of Folly and not on the island proper. The marsh views at sunrise and sunset were beautiful. The kitchen is equipped with anything you would need and there are plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, fans etc. The owner is on top of sending you any info for check in and responds quickly to any questions. We travel with Vrbo frequently and this rental is 100% one of the best. Thanks Karen, for the wonderful stay!

A little slice of paradise

What a little gem! The house was beautiful —and checked all the boxes and more. Karen and Kent were awesome—and went above and beyond to make our 4th of July week exceptional! We had stayed on Folly in the past—but being on the marsh provided a tranquil, relaxing and sunsets that were UNFORGETTABLE! We loved having all the space, the oversized decks and the 3 floors worked out great for our group! Everything in the house was well stocked, the walking paths were awesome and the kids loved the kayaks! A perfect way to ring in July 2024 with some of our closest friends!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Williams

Host profile image
Since I was a child, I dreamed of having a bed and breakfast as my great grandmother ran a boarding house in downtown Charleston. In 2018 my husband and I finally bought this beautiful Marsh property to begin our dream home and guest home. A James Islander by birth, and an avid beach lover, Sol Legare Island was the perfect space for us. In 2018 we broke ground and began building our home and guest house, with the help of our 4 grown children and some other great builders. We finished the home October 2021 in time for our daughter to have her wedding on our beautiful property. I love everything outdoors, thus we have paddleboards and kayaks on the property. I ride my bike to Folly Beach, Harris Teeter or Bowens Island and consider myself fortunate to be living on a chunk of "PARADISE." The evening art show each night, sunset, never fails to amaze me. I manage commercial property, so I was very excited to begin my journey on hosting my own place for travelers. I love people and traveling, so I hope this is a great stop on everyone's journey.

Why they chose this property

Gorgeous marsh view, Close to beach, shopping, restaurants and downtown. Beautiful sunset every night. New home, finished in 2021. Great for beach lovers, outdoor adventures and historic Charleston lovers. Over a mile walking & biking trail parallel to the marsh.

What makes this property unique

Close to beach
Over a mile walking & biking trail parallel to the marsh.
watch a sunset from your deck and eating area every night
Ride bikes to beach or grocery store
quiet, very quiet you can hear frogs, cicadas and crickets serenading each night
