It's tranquil and quiet and provides the perfect location for walking to tons of restaurants, movie theatre, public golf course, music venue, boat landings and one mile from the county park that offers walking/biking trails, playgrounds, splash pads, climbing and the only dog park on the island.

Open floor plan offers a big bay window with bistro seating, a kitchen with pantry, coffee pot, toaster oven, and wall oven, and the living room is spacious with a couch, bookshelf, coffee table, and large TV. The bedroom is just off the living room where you'll find a the separate laundry room, queen bed with two nightstands, dresser, closet and a bathroom that features an alcove.

Guests of Coastal Cottage park directly in front of their home. Guests at Live Oak Retreat park on the left side of the driveaway and along the side of the deck and carport. The right side of the driveway needs to remain open so Coastal Cottage guests can access their home.

Perfectly comfortable stay

Close to Charleston and Folly beach! We were busy all day going to Daniel Island for the tennis tournament and enjoying downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, and it was nice to come back to a private, safe, quiet, comfortable place and relax for the evening! We enjoyed the close restaurants in the area, especially Azul! The trees and flowering plants were beautiful! It was a great place to enjoy the area! We will be back! Thank you!

Nice Little Cottage, Good Location

Overall was a nice place to stay. Centerally located to almost anything you could want to do in Charelston and the surrounding area. Was pretty clean and had most of the basic supplies you would need for cooking.

Small and sweet

The cottage is hidden from the main road so it was a lot quieter plus the trees around the property made taking pictures fun.

Location is ideal!

A cute small place in a great central location on James Island. We had a nice stay. The cottage has everything needed. We had issues with operating the cooling system but that could have just been user error, I'm not sure. We also weren't bothered enough by this to even attempt to reach out to the owners so I can't speakon response. I can say that we were contacted with check-in info by them and had no issues there. No real complaints and we'd certainly stay again. in the future.
