Salt and Sol. Ocean Breezes in a Chic Home.

Press a button on the remote control to raise the blinds and let the morning sun fill a roomy, renovated space. There's an airy seaside feel inside and out, thanks to large windows, white decor and blue accents. A private dock on a tidal creek with a great view of a 150 year old lighthouse, a flower garden and an extensive lawn make this property ideal for friends, family and pets. This is the upper level of a two unit home so very safe for families. An open concept kitchen, dining and living rooms are all connected. A very large breakfast bar with eight bar stools and a view of the TV. Premium cable TV and great wifi. This listing is for the use of the entire top floor unit. We only ask that guest not try to access the first level living space. The front and rear yards are available anytime during your stay. There is a large rear lawn with scenic marsh views and views of the Ravenel cable-stay Bridge and Morris Island lighthouse. The large front deck has limited views of the ocean and the breaking surf can be heard throughout the home. I'm available by text most anytime. If you should need anything please don't hesitate to notify me. I'd be glad to recommend restaurants, outings, shopping, etc. Jean and I want to make your vacation most enjoyable. John Across from the beach, on a scenic marsh with expansive river and lighthouse views. Near the “washout” an area for the best surfing in SC, Morris Island where the Civil War Battle of Battery Wagner was fought and a bird sanctuary for the bird watcher Uber and Lyft for trips into the city of Charleston. There is no public bus service on the island. Traffic getting on the island can be heavy on the weekends so do your grocery shopping during the week or on your way in. There is a small market on the island but very limited and expensive.

We enjoyed our stay at Daniel’s place in a beautiful location with marina views and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Bathrooms were small, but having two was a bonus with this spacious one-bedroom unit. Daniel was very prompt with answering questions and providing instructions for accessing this gated property.

Charleston Waterfront Retreat w/ Deep Water Dock

5 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews2 weeks ago

This is a lovely home on a very peaceful, beautiful serene property. The home is spacious and great for a family gathering with lots of seating and a large dining table. It would’ve been nice to have had the ability to have places to walk to, but there is much to do within a short drive. The road out front is a busy road with no sidewalk.

We loved the location with beautiful decks and a view of the water! The island was very walkable to restaurants, beach, grocery and shops. Highly recommend renting a golf cart and going to the other side of the island-see the lighthouse and walk in the beach over there!

Apartment over the Stono

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews1 month ago

Having stayed in many a Airbnb where investment opportunities often result in a "looks good online", but doesn't live up in reality, Charlotte's place stands out. This is a stylish and spacious garage apartment with a gorgeous view. It had everything we needed for a short stay, including a legit coffee set up, and we appreciated the snacks and fresh flowers upon arrival, reminding us of OG Airbnb experiences. Charlotte was responsive and helpful and we would absolutely stay with her again!

Million dollar view, close to everything. Kayaking

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews2 months ago

My husband and I loved this place on Goose River Reservoir. I picked it because it was on the water. It was peaceful and relaxing on the enclosed back deck. It is close to great stores and eateries. About 20minutes to Charleston and Mt. Pleasant. There is plenty for kids to do at the house. The Master bed was comfy and warm. Shower was awesome. What I liked: The house felt warm and cozy. I liked being on the river and listening to the bugs, squirrels and birds. We loved being on the back deck relaxing and drinking our coffee. House rules were not overbearing, but to just clean up after yourself, no dirty dishes left in the sink, take out trash and bring the towels down to the washer. I tried to sweep, but I didn't find a broom. I spilt coffee grinds, but was able to clean it up. Communication with the owners was great and quick response! We really enjoyed our stay and would book again!

New! Oceanfront with amazing views in popular area

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviews1 month ago

This place is fantastic! We never closed the blinds because the view was so spectacular. Every morning I woke up to the sun rising and the view of the Ocean. The townhouse is well furnished and extremely well kept. Only a few minutes from the local grocery store. We have stayed in Airbnb 's all over the world and this is one of my favorite. Be sure and rent bikes so you can ride on the beach. our family loved it.
