Mike was a great host, very responsive. The place is so cute and clean, less than a 10-minute walk to Shem Creek restaurants. Thought the toiletries in the bathroom were such a nice, personal touch. Would love to stay here again.

The location was great, the place was as pictured. We had a lovely trip. We didn't have any issues. Easy walking distance to Mt Pleasant's Old Village and shops/restaurants. 10 minute drive to downtown Charleston. The host was very communicative up front, and we didn't need to reach out during the trip for any issues.

Perfect location and stay

This property was beautiful inside and out. The location is in walking distance to many restaurants, coffee shops, and water front eateries. It was also a short 10-15 minute drive to downtown Charleston. The inside was very clean and had all amenities one would need for a getaway. The host was welcoming and quick to respond. Would stay here again.

This apartment was staged nicely so there was room to move freely in a small space. The location was great! We were within walking distance to coffee, shops, restaurants, and Shem Creek waterfront activities. Charleston was a 10 minute drive as well! We appreciated the designated parking space, prompt communication from the property owner, and cleanliness of the entire place (especially with a baby in tow!). The king size bed was very comfortable. The bathroom linens and the kitchen utensils were helpful since we traveled a long way to SC from MD. I was grateful for a washer and dryer as well. This apartment demonstrated pride of ownership in the decorations and amenities to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. We would stay again!

Simply fantastic

We were in town for a wedding at the nearby Alhambra Hall. This was an ideal location, and so close to other great neighborhood amenities for food and drink. The property itself was immaculate, exceptionally clean and obviously well maintained. The kitchen was well appointed and the bath amenities were excellent. We were traveling with a 6 month old, and definitely appreciated how quiet this property is. We all slept soundly! And communication with the property owner was superb, with a quick and clear response to our questions. Overall this property was simply a delight to stay in, our expectations were far exceeded. We could not be more pleased.

In addition the location is unbeatable, and everything from parking to access to the home itself is nothing short of pure ease. This is an absolute go to for a Charleston getaway. Thank y’all!!

A great stay for a couple that wants to get away and be centrally located to Charleston and Sullivan’s island. This apartment above the garage is walking distance to shops and restaurants. The place was clean and easy to get in and out of with its own dedicated parking spot.
