Low Country Cottage in Beautiful Habersham

NancyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
First vacation of just our three sisters. Definitely exceeded our expectations. Beautiful environment from Jeff and Faith’ home to Habersham Village itself and amenities of both. Wonderful time exploring Beaufort and Hunting Island also.

Kiawah Island Paradise in Inlet Cove

RyanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kiawah Inlet Cove! This was perfect for our long holiday weekend and we enjoyed the short distance to the beautiful Beachwalker Park beach. During one stormy day, we found the cottage relaxing and enjoyed family time, reading and games while riding out the rain. We were impressed with the kitchen essentials and the amount of available linens for each room! A few local trips to nearby Freshfields village and restaurants rounded out our visit. We would definitely come back!
A spacious living area features a neutral color palette with a cozy sofa and round coffee table. Large windows provide views of the outdoors, while a kitchen with modern appliances is visible in the background. Ambient lighting is offered by stylish chandeliers and wall fixtures.

Beautiful 3BR Lakefront | Pool | Dock | Balcony

MarkRating, 5 stars9 months ago
great home with lots of space and privacy. Quiet and lots of nice beaches and bike trails around. very clean and an interesting setting. Lots of fun games to play and the wifi and tv worked really well. It was a bit further than I expected but if you want peace and quiet this is the place for you. My only suggestion would be to provide some beach towels and maybe a few beach chairs. I loved the home and would book again if I am in the area.

Gypsy Sea Cottage - A Beachside Retreat

JessicaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
While we only had the pleasure of staying here for one night, we would absolutely return for longer! Jaime and Marie’s place was absolutely adorable. It looked just like the pictures, had all the things you and your family could need for a beach trip, and had the most comfortable beds! The decor was picture perfect and looked brand new. Jaime and Marie were extremely responsive to all my questions and were very kind. I had a billing concern early on and they were quick to help problem solve it for me. Hilton Head is our favorite place and we come every year. We are thankful to have found a new spot we can add to our list for places to stay. Great location, peaceful, and a real hidden gem. Thank you for having us!

Kiawah Exclusives | 1066 Sparrow Pond Cottage

KennaRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Location, location, location! We loved the quick access to the pool and beach from our cottage. A family atmosphere throughout the area was great - felt safe at all times and had plenty of rest and relaxation. We were slightly disappointed in the outdoor seating area as we love to play games and enjoy late night dinners/conversations outside. The picnic table was in disrepair (boards missing) and prevented us from engaging in a 'whole family' sit down. This is an easy fix and I'm sure will be attended to. Overall, the Kiawah vibe was great. My son and son-in-law enjoyed golfing while my daughters and I enjoyed the Freshfield shops and a candle-making experience. Memories were made!

Hilton Head Beach Getaway, 2 Bedroom beach house

CarieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutely loved our stay here with our 4 year old and 6 year old. The cottage was even cuter in person and felt both tucked away and connected to everything. The walk to the beach was easy (especially with the provided bikes) and we were able to easily get around Sea Pines by bike. (We rented from Sea Pines which made it super easy.) The kitchen was well stocked and we loved meals on the screened in porch. The pool was lovely on hot afternoons! Highly recommend for an easy stay in Hilton Head.

The Lil Pearl: Sand, Sun & Folly Fun

DevonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved Lil Pearl! The cottage was comfy, cute, and just a shady walk (or rented bike ride) to both beach and restaurants. Teresa was communicative and friendly and made us feel right at home. A fully screened-in porch would have been the cherry on top for us, but the screen curtains around the outdoor seating area are probably 100% fine for most folks (the mosquitoes really seem to like us!). Definitely recommend this lovely cottage on all fronts. Thanks, Teresa!

Cozy Little Shanty in the Heart of Mt. Pleasant

LacieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Stayed here one night for a wedding/reception at the Citadel Beach House. Very close in proximity to Isle of Palms, shopping and restaurants. Host was most helpful and accommodating. House was spotless on arrival. Plenty of bathroom linens. Great choice for staying with family. Quaint and cute. Just the right size for our party of five.

Palm Key - Cozy Coastal Cottage

BrennanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved staying at Palm Key and will definitely refer friends/family to stay there, and we hope to come back again soon! We had the pleasure of meeting Kim and Lee and they are the most friendly and welcoming couple. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog, and the location is perfect for mixing downtown Charleston and Folly Beach activities (15min drive to both). Can’t wait to come back!

Private cottage downtown- vaulted ceilings

ReillyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Lyndy’s place was great. My fiance and I stayed for three nights while we checked out the Summerville and Charleston area to hopefully relocate. Lyndy and her husband were kind, responsive, and helpful. The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need and very clean. The location is just blocks away from downtown Summerville if you like to take walks and avoid having to drive. We were able to get to Downtown Charleston and Folly beach in under an hour. If ever needed, we would absolutely stay at Lyndy’s cottage again. If you plan to sip some coffee on the patio, pack some bug spray! Overall, fantastic visit.
A stainless steel sink is positioned in front of a window, showcasing bright greenery outside. The counter includes a bottle of dish soap and a decorative vintage sign. Natural light illuminates the scene, enhancing the functional kitchen space.

OCEAN VIEWS with easy Beach Access @ Pelican Alley

AlexRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house is as described or better for most categories. It is hard to beat the location, it is right across the road from public beach access and you have a nice view of the ocean. No problem running back if you forgot something or needed to use the restroom. The hosts were very communicative and gave some great suggestions. Great restaurants less than a mile away. The property is beautifully maintained and had all the amenities you could want for a week at the beach. We are already planning our return trip!

Charleston Gem with parking! Close to King St!

JoanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Most charming neighborhood—peaceful, lovely historic homes; beautiful courtyard at house—great for morning coffee. Host cordially provided muffins and fresh fruit upon arrival. Adorable little green lizard showed up at the door every day. The location cannot be surpassed. Quiet and private but just steps from all the action in town. We walked everywhere easily. The house is quaint with small first and second floor—very adequate. Double bed was comfortable. Air conditioning on first floor and fan on second kept us totally comfortable. Everything was clean.
