Lovely property. Loads of beautiful flowers and trees surrounding the house with many butterfies and birds. Plenty of space to move about outside, if you wanted to. Simply lovely.

Even though we visited during hurricane Debby, the house was high and dry. Our Host kept us informed of the local weather issues and what roads were safe. We were able to have a great time and did not mind getting wet.

Having never visited Charleston truly...this was the perfect place to stay! My husband and I had celebrated our 10th wedding Anniversary 2 years ago in Savannah. And after appreciating the architecture and the Beauty of that city, we decided to sit our normal "Birthday Celebrations Week," out from taking the camper this time and playing in the woods to seek and learn and see what Charleston was about. Now saying all that, having never been we were seeking more a solitude get-a-way to retrieve back to after a long City day of exploring...and Marianne and David had provided exactly just that! A peaceful retreat! The cottage had everything you could think of as far as essentials, and it was kept very clean and tastefully decorated. I loved the front porch being able to unwind and enjoy the views of The Live Oaks. And upon departure, we were able to meet both Marianne and David, and they were such a lovely couple! If we were to ever return, we would definitely stay here again! Thanks for the Hospitality!! Kindly, The Albersons

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I with all the comforts of home. Marianne the host was amazing and quite insight on where to eat, hike and what beaches to go. Summerville is a year trip for us and as long as the cottage is open this is where we will stay!!

This was the perfect place for our week visit. The property is beautiful and quiet. The house was clean and met our needs. I slept great on the mattress. Normally I don't sleep well and wake up very early. I slept in for once. Marianne and her family were very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our time there.

From the moment you drive up you’ll just want to slow down and enjoy this lovely property and owners! We are only sorry our stay was so short and busy that we didn’t have more time to relax on this unique and beautiful property! The cottage was perfect with everything you could ask for, super comfortable, beautifully decorated, and so clean! The owners even took out some toys for my son to play with! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to family and friends as well!

The cottage in the oaks was simply perfect! Hidden away in a grove of old oak trees and surrounded by azaleas and cameilas, the site was so pretty and restful. We felt we were in a world to ourselves. The privacy was excellent. Yet, we were convenient to everything. The pretty historic area of Summerville was just around the corner, and plantation row along the Ashley River was just a few minutes away. The host was super nice and accommodating. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for privavcy and convenience!

The cottage in the oaks is absolutely a jewel. David and Marianne have thought of everything possible to provide you with a wonderful stay in the town of Summerville. We have stayed in more than 20 VRBO properties and this cabin is diffidently one of the finest small properties in which we have stayed.

This little cottage was spotless absolutely inside and out absolutely enchanting 1800’s little home but you walk inside and it is completely contemporary, clean and pristine and just exactly the way you want a brand new home these days everything was comfortable. Everything that was needed was available, the owners were very hospitable and always responded quickly. It was in a beautiful setting in Summerville just 2 miles from the wedding B&B venue we were going to attend and it was just lovely beautiful large live oak Trees, beautiful camellias, and this spring and summer the promise of an abundance of flowering shrubs, and plants that are currently dormant, but I just know it’s gonna be breathtaking , we enjoyed our stay so much and look forward to having a good reason to return again so we can come back during warmer months and stay in this sweet little college when all is in full bloom.

We checked out every beach in the Charleston area along with historic neighborhoods in Charleston. Found great restaurants to eat seafood, played pickleball in Summerville and enjoyed historic architecture in Summerville. The house was in a great location for us about a half hour to 40 minutes to Charleston and area beaches and 10 minutes to pickleball courts and beautiful downtown Summerville.

Quaint Charleston Cottage

Quaint Charleston Cottage

This was one of the best houses I've rented in a long time. It had everything you could need, such as coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tea, and kitchen appliances. The grounds of this house are like something out of a fairytale. There was a small pond with lily pads, a garden, large mossy trees, lots of abundant flowers, and a well. It is a classic Charleston home. The exterior of the house is so peaceful. It has a large, screened in front porch with two rocking chairs and a small outdoor couch. My party and I throughly enjoyed this porch and took advantage of having it! We sat out on the porch listening to the cicadas chirp and the owls hoot. The interior of the house is calming and very well decorated. The couch is comfortable and the bed is as well. Everything was wonderful, clean, and well taken care of. The bathroom was spacious with a nice washing machine and dryer. The kitchen had all the amenities you would need to cook or make any meal. The house even stayed a cool temperature in the hot months. Another great bonus to this house is the visitor not listed in the description! A little Calico cat visits the back porch some evenings, so that was a fun surprise! The owners of this house are very polite and kind. They are as involved as you want to be. I highly recommend this house if you are considering staying in Charleston!

This little cottage is absolutely perfect. Cozy and quaint. Everything has been well thought out. Very clean. Lots of towels. Furniture is comfortable. Plenty of cookware if you want to stay in for meals. Nice size refrigerator. Loved the screened in front porch. String lights are set on a timer to come on at dusk and go off before bedtime. Nice little back porch for morning coffee. Location is great. Close to the plantations and a short drive into Charleston. The cottage is located on the owner’s property which is beautiful. She is available if needed otherwise respects your privacy. There were fresh flowers on the counter that added a special touch. Will definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend this perfect place to stay a short drive north of Charleston.
