Hotel Details

Location

A quiet, secluded home on Johns Island, 12 minutes by car from downtown Charleston and close to Folly Beach.
The home is about 7 km from Charleston City Marina and 24 km from Charleston International Airport, providing easy access to the city's main attractions such as Marion Square and Rainbow Row. While a few restaurants and shops (like Huddle House, Thai Elephants, and Mondo's Italian) are within 1 km, most amenities and activities remain driving distance away. Having a car or planning to use ride-share services is recommended for trips to downtown, Folly Beach, or the nearby golf and windsurfing spots. The neighborhood itself is very peaceful and feels secluded, making it a quiet base for exploring the area.

Accommodation

A spacious, air-conditioned holiday home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen.
The entire home is offered as a single rental, providing ample room for families or groups. The property features two private bathrooms (one with a hall bathtub), a separate seating area, and a dining table. The kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and plenty of cookware and utensils for preparing full meals. The bedrooms are furnished with 4 comfortable beds, and the living area includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Garden views, a washing machine, and a dryer add to the convenience. The home is heated and air-conditioned throughout, and the space has been described as clean, spacious, and comfortable.

Dining

The fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill allow for self-catering, with excellent nearby restaurants for dining out.
The kitchen is fully stocked with chef's knives, spices, and all essential cookware, making it easy to prepare home-cooked meals. An outdoor grill is also available for barbecues. For those who prefer to eat out, several restaurants are within 1 km, including Mondo's Italian and Hen and The Goat, and fresh seafood and Carolina barbecue are located close by. The property does not offer its own restaurant or breakfast service, but the excellent kitchen facilities provide a flexible alternative.

Leisure

Enjoy on-site tennis, fishing, and an outdoor fireplace, with golf and windsurfing available nearby.
The property offers free access to a tennis court and fishing (both off-site), as well as an outdoor fireplace for evening relaxation. Guests interested in golf can find a course within 3 km (additional charge), and windsurfing is also available nearby for an extra fee. The quiet, peaceful surroundings and private patio make for a relaxing stay without needing to leave the property, and the nearby Folly Beach provides additional leisure opportunities.

Amenities

Free private parking, free WiFi in rooms, and private check-in/check-out ensure a smooth stay.
Free private parking is available on site with accessible spaces and no reservation required. WiFi is free in all rooms. Additional amenities include a washing machine and dryer for free laundry, an outdoor fireplace, air conditioning and heating, and safety features such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. Check-in and check-out are handled privately with a code system for easy access. The host is responsive to questions and requests. Cots are available, and while the property is not wheelchair accessible, the private entrance and ground-floor layout offer convenient access.
