Club Ed Charleston

Club Ed is on James Island 5 mins to Downtown Charleston & 10 mins to Folly Beach. Club Ed sits on a 1/2 acre of mature landscaping that include azaleas, magnolias, camellia s and large Oak trees. Enjoy laying in the large hammock, sitting on the patio or using the outdoor shower...Spring is coming! Club Ed was renovated with all new Baths and updated Kitchen. Club Ed has all the conveniences of a home with all the amenities of a hotel.
Recent renovations to Club Ed include : Renovated (2019) Bathrooms, an Updated Kitchen (2019), refinished original hardwoods throughout home and new porcelain tile in kitchen/dining area(2019). New Roof (2021). New Heating and Air Conditioning system(2022). New Tankless Hot H2O water system(2023).

Memory Foam Mattresses with high-quality, hotel grade linens, including bedding, bath and hand towels. We have a New Washer and Dryer set you may use in Laundry/utility room under carport... also a great way to access the outdoor shower in backyard.

We have beach towels, beach chairs, some noodles, a boogie board and Frisbee all of which you are welcome to use.

The Location of Club Ed is Prime Time!

You are a short drive from everything Downtown Charleston (4.2 Miles to Upper King Street) and Folly Beach (7 Miles to Center Street) has to offer .

You are a short Uber ride from everything on James Island as well as downtown Charleston and Folly Beach.

Laurel Park is a very quiet private neighborhood. It was once a part of Mcleod Plantation which is located less than a mile from Club Ed and is available to tour(it is a Gullah/Geechee Heritage Site).

You can also walk to the Merchant Village Shopping Center (.03 miles) that has a Publix Grocery and several restaurants and bars...I recommend Bagel Nation for brunch or if you want to meet some local neighbors and watch a ball game try Obrion's.

Guests will have complete use of 5 parking spaces in front of home.

Zoning Permit #ZSTR-2-19-00018

Great location, comfortable stay

Nicely renovated home in a charming James Island neighborhood with lots of trees. Very convenient to grocery and restaurants. Comfortable beds, nice towels, and nicely outfitted kitchen. Nicely decorated with a fun vibe. TVs in the bedrooms and living room with Roku, so very easy to use. Beautiful backyard with patio area. Ed was very easy to communicate with. Look forward to staying here again.

Lovely, immaculate home. Very cool decorations, especially for a music lover! Kitchen well stocked, living room comfortable and nice place to sit, bedrooms comfortable and nicely spaced out. Backyard is a nice oasis. Very quiet location but only 2 minute drive to shops! Owner was easy to contact and very responsive. Highly recommended!

Convenient and Comfortable

The house was in a nice and well kept neighborhood convenient to both the West Ashley area and downtown Charleston. Also, within 15 minutes you were at Folly beach. You could go for an early morning walk or run in the area. There was room to enjoy a cocktail and snacks after being out all day and to get ready to go out for the evening. Very comfortable home and convenient to all that Charleston has to offer.

Lots of Space. Lots of Fun!

Definitely more space than we needed for two people for two nights, but less expensive than a cramped hotel room downtown on a holiday weekend! This would be perfect for a family or extended stay. Fun place with nicely-renovated kitchen and bathrooms! Loved the feel of it and the fun decor. Super convenient to the bridge into downtown or quick trips to attractions to the south.

Great location if you have a car--excellent HOST !

Booked last minute and stayed for a long weekend to attend a family gathering in Charleston. The property was as described and all linens were provided. Host had excellent communication and left a nice surprise in the refrigerator for us! Location is very convenient for those who don't mind driving to local sights and beach. Property could have been a bit cleaner but it fit our immediate needs for the long weekend stay.

Perfect location

The house was perfectly located so that we were never more than 20 minutes from anything we wanted to see. The convenient grocery store made meals easier to plan - and the kitchen was well stocked. Lots to entertain us too! Everything was just lovely and well thought out. It was comfortable for our family of 5. I cannot say enough good things about this stay.

Charleston Business Trip

Perfect location for our trip to Charleston. Publix market close by with a bunch of wonderful restaurants such as Mondo's Italian which was great. Ed was very responsive and address an issue with the termostat quickly. House was perfect for our small group and we enjoyed the back yard especially during the mornings. Bathrooms have been updated and the showers were great. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Only drawback was the dining table only had two chairs and two large wooden benches. Four chairs would have been nice. Overall it was a nice quiet stay at Club Ed.

Fabulous!

First I’d like to thank Ed for being the best VRBO owner I’ve ever dealt with. Was super quick with responses. Was clearly a man of the 80’s with his amazing book collection and collectibles. House was in the perfect location to downtown and Folly Beach, where my niece was getting married. Beautiful neighborhood, lovely back year, stellar outdoor shower, and located close to grocery store and some cool restaurants. Make sure to read his “Live Like A Local” book, good stuff. Since Charleston is my favorite new spot I’ll be back. Thank you for everything Ed! Club Ed Rocks!!
