Enjoyed our stay so much. Clean & comfortable, met all of our needs & convenient to everything. Rooms are spacious but closet space is limited. Beds & couches are comfortable Bathrooms are small but stylish & clean. Kitchen is very nice & equipped with everything you need. Yard is nice size for children to play & fenced. Grandchildren enjoyed cornhole & playing games provided. Books for your reading pleasure as well. Hammock to relax on while children play. Owners very nice & made themselves available if needed. Thankfully we didn't need anything. Will stay again if traveling with family & friends.

This was the perfect house to end our two week tour of the southeast. Perfectly situated 12 minutes from the historic downtown and Folly beach, it allowed us to see and enjoy all the area has to offer. The house was clean & comfy and the kitchen very well equipped. As a person who likes to cook, I find most short term rentals to be lacking in kitchenware, making it difficult to cook for a family - that is not the case here, the owners even provide coffee! I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Charlestown.

Hip Island House was the perfect place for our girls’ weekend trip! It’s only 15 minutes from the main spots in Charleston with easy access to shopping and food options. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed. Would definitely consider staying here again if we are back in the area.

Outstanding property in the heart of Old St Augustine

This property was the nicest Vacation Rental we have stayed in. Amenities were top notch, it was like staying at a high end model home. Beautiful, spacious rooms, couldn't have asked for a better location, all St Augustine attractions and restaurants were an easy walk. We have referred this property to several close friends and hope to stay there in the future. We gave this our highest rating!!

The place was very nice, clean and right where we wanted to be in Charleston. The only thing I would suggest is more mirrors around the place, we struggled all getting ready with a very small amount of mirrors. Thanks!

Family Get Together

We enjoyed our stay! The back porch with comfy couch and TV was a great hangout for our teens. The backyard was wonderful, but unfortunately extreme heat and other weather conditions prevented us from utilizing it. It truly is a great space and would be such fun to barbecue and hang out in. David and Deidra made sure we knew we could reach out to them if we needed anything, Our travel departure time was awkward in relation to the check out time and I greatly appreciated a last minute accommodation that they made per my request that really helped us out. It's a relaxed type of space that we enjoyed and fit our needs well.

Charleston quiet

The Ms. and I enjoy quick trips to the Charleston area. Wanted to experience it from a local's point of view. This place sits in a quiet neighborhood not far from Folly beach. It has easy access to downtown. We love the clean, simple & functional set up. We especially loved the cool backyard grill, lighting & music. Great family room. Nice bedrooms. So, whether your a couple of couples or a family, hughly recommend this stay. We'll be back!!

Cozy island home

We enjoyed this place so much as a family of four. Our family felt at home right away and it was perfectly located to stores, restaurants, shopping, and Folly beach. The Florida room was our favorite room for relaxing together. The property owners were great with communicating as well. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect for family or group of friends.

The house was great for our family. It was well stocked and very kid friendly with a pack n play and a highchair at the house. The perfect amount of charm without too many knick knacks for the kids to get into. The bed blankets were a little thin, so you may want to bring your own if you or your kids like more of a comforter style bedspread. The kitchen was well stocked as well and appliances were nice. The only negative was that they were out of laundry detergent. It looks like the bottle may have just been finished by the previous renters. We would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Charleston.
