Very nice, clean, cute decor. Keurig coffee maker, microwave, fridge and freezer very convenient. Location was perfect, very private in a nice neighborhood but also very close to a main road with multiple restaurants, stores, gas stations. Downtown Charleston about 5 miles away. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if in Charleston area.

Highly Recommend

We enjoyed this cozy updated and clean apartment. Communication with owner is great because they live next door. Our trip was in April and it did begin to get too warm. There is a split ac unit but it is in a location that doesn’t reach the bedroom well. I would absolutely stay again but not later in the year than this time. We enjoyed our trip-they thought of everything for comfort. You can tell they love to make this a true vacation getaway.

This place was a great place to stay! We really appreciated the little touches of extra phone chargers, beach towels and stuff like that. We do wish the water would have been warmer or stayed warmer for longer but other than that we absolutely loved this place and would definitely stay again!

Five Stars!

My husband and I stayed here for five nights -- everything about the place was excellent. Great location. Sparkling clean. Plush towels (and lots of them). Wonderful little touches throughout. Good communication with the property manager. Usually I shy away from properties that are professionally managed (I prefer the personal touch of an owner/manager), but this place was perfect. Thanks!

Great place to stay

We had a great time. The accomodations were perfect for a couple. And the snacks and coffe available were really appreciated and a nice touch. Some instructions on how to work the various lighting would have been helpful but we fisured it out. I would stay again..here

Great stay in Charleston

This spot suited our itinerary in Charleston very well. It was close enough to the airport to make an early morning flight more bearable but the drive to historic Charleston was easy and short. About 15 min from airport, 15 min from downtown and 15 min from The Magnolia plantation. The small touches in the house made it especially homey and welcoming. We loved our stay!

The Perfect Spot

This was the cutest place so much better than any hotel. It was so close to everything we rented a car so there was a parking spot for it. They have gone to so much work to make it the most enjoyable, relaxing stay. I can’t thank them enough.

Good Hub to the Charleston Area

Coastal Retreat is a comfortable accommodation in a residential neighborhood, away from the traffic of downtown but with easy access to all points of interest. King St business district was only a 10 minute drive, Isle of Palms and Folly Beach were reached within 25 minutes. Apartment was clean and quiet.

Thank you for the nice stay. This VRBO is off the beaten path, and great proximity to various parts of the Charleston area. Clearly, the owners take great pride in the property. The bed and bedding were the best ever for a rental. The space provided the exact description. I even loved the special labels on the hair products and soaps. The owners go above and beyond to offer the best accommodations. Highly recommend!
