This property is a gem. Just blocks from Shem Creek, you can easily walk to a slew of awesome restaurants. In terms of driving, so easy to get to both Charleston and the beaches in no time and there's plenty of parking at the house. The home itself was comfortable, well-appointed, clean, and as described. We'll certainly be back-- maybe in cooler months so we can take advantage of the awesome fire-pit area in the backyard.

Everything was easy from start to finish. We loved our stay in this pet-friendly home, which was exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located to local restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay here again. There is also a cute outdoor area. The location felt safe and the doors, windows, and locks were all secure. Easy, prompt communication with the owner. We had no issues at all -- we just communicated to extend our stay.

This is our third time at his place and we always enjoy our stay! The location is perfect to walk to many restaurants and only minutes to Sullivan's Island and the Isle of Palms. We love traveling with our dogs and the place has a nice fenced yard. We can't wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay within walking distance to many places and a short drive to downtown Charleston. Very pet friendly property with an enclosed area that made it easier to walk our small dogs in an unfamiliar area. Appreciate the quick response when we had questions.

This cottage was perfect for the 2 of us and our small dog. It is very well equipped and centrally located. We could walk to the Farmer's Market, restaurants, coffee bars and Shem Creek. It was a great stay and would love to return again!

Our family of 3 stayed here for the beginning leg of our first ever trip to the Charleston area, and we could not have been happier with this adorable cottage. The courtyard out back was beautiful, we would have spent more time out there had we stayed longer. Furnishings and decor were eclectic and reflective of the locale - loved all of the vintage touches. Both beds were comfy, and the whole place was very clean. Bathroom was small but the shower was spacious and bright. The living furniture was amazingly comfortable, and a great resting spot for our evenings of watching playoff baseball after spending the days out exploring. Loved all of the windows and natural light. The area was quiet and felt safe. Great proximity to several great restaurants within walking distance - we especially loved Okra’s for a great southern seafood dinner, and Vintage Coffee for breakfast and coffee in the mornings. We walked to the boardwalk at Shem Creek a few times to see the boats and see the sunsets. Also a short drive to Patriot’s Point, the Peninsula, and so many other amazing places. This whole place was just lovely and we absolutely loved our stay.

Cozy house in a great location with thoughtful owners. The house had everything we needed for a 6 week stay and was within walking distance of top rated restaurants and night spots. It’s also less than 4 miles from beaches on Sullivan Island or Isle of Palms (and more great restaurants). Owner responded immediately to calls or questions. And the best part is that it is pet friendly.

Lacks a welcoming feel. The owner wants guest to strip bed and start a load of towels. That should be a no no. Besides the towels are so stained they should be thrown away.That alone is a turn off. No napkins, no tissues all says no welcome. Little things matter. The front porch furniture is falling apart should be replaced

The location couldn't have been better - within walking distance to the lively Shem Creek bars and restaurants. We spent evenings savoring delicious seafood and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. Plus, it was just a short drive to the beach, and downtown Charleston was easily accessible. We had the best of both worlds - a serene escape and city excitement. The property itself was comfortable and well-appointed, making our vacation even more enjoyable. Our only recommendation would be the clean the air vents. A few we found to be very dirty.

House is located just outside of Charleston so it is easy to plan day trips to see this beautiful city. Home is well organized and there is a small outdoor space in the yard. Joe owns several properties in the neighborhood and he stopped by toward the end of our stay to check on us. Only downside was the construction going on in the neighborhood so it was noisy at times, obviously beyond anyone’s control.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Shem Creek neighborhood. Easy access to the beaches and downtown made a perfect family location. Beds were comfortable. Unit could use a few more food prep options (salad and mixing bowls) but otherwise it had everything we needed. Be prepared to wake early - very bright unit without any drapes in the bedrooms. Overall very happy with our stay and would recommend.

Bed comfy - older- worn mattress pad. Furniture older and not comfy when staying multiple days. Yard great for dogs. Private backyard. Cute budget friendly and no extras.

This is the second year we have stayed for an extended amount of time at this property and it's become a home away from home for us! It's perfectly located to everything, so comfortable and has everything you could want. The best part about this experience though is the host, Joe! He is the absolute greatest -- so accommodating, quick communication and available if you need anything at all....he goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed your entire stay! I can't recommend this property enough (or any of Joe's properties) you truly can't go wrong!

We enjoyed our stay within walking distance to many places and a short drive to downtown Charleston. Very pet friendly property with an enclosed area that made it easier to walk our small dogs in an unfamiliar area. Appreciate the quick response when we had questions.

This is our second stay here. Very clean, well-appointed, and the location couldn't be better. Able to walk to the Shem Creek restaurants, short drive to Sullivan's Island, and a quick drive over the bridge to downtown.

Joe’s place is in perfect location near Shem creek, downtown Charleston and the beaches. Loved the cute yard and space for the dog, loved we could walk to many restaurants, and loved the cleanliness of the property! Great find!

This house was exactly as described, and the location was perfect! A short drive to the beach, short drive to downtown Charleston, and walking distance to a different restaurant every night.

Great location with plenty of dining options close by. Short walk to the boardwalk and easy drive to old Charleston. Defintely would stay here again when in the area.

House is located just outside of Charleston so it is easy to plan day trips to see this beautiful city. Home is well organized and there is a small outdoor space in the yard. Joe owns several properties in the neighborhood and he stopped by toward the end of our stay to check on us. Only downside was the construction going on in the neighborhood so it was noisy at times, obviously beyond anyone’s control.
