About this apartment rental
Come enjoy the amazing views of this beautiful apartment that occupies the 2nd and 3rd floor of this 3 story home that sits on a tidal river with private boat ramp near Folly Beach. Hang out on our brand new beautiful dock.
We provide a pass for free parks access and kayaks for your adventures or you can use your boat to explore the vast rivers and inlets leading to the ocean or the many restaurants in the Charleston area that have docking for boats.
Come for the beach, but stay for the views which are literally surrounded by breathtaking views of the river and marsh that wrap around 3 sides of the home. Bring your binoculars to view the many birds and other wildlife that make regular appearances at the house. Lounge on any of the 4 balconies including main deck with seating for 6, sunrise and sunset balconies, or the relaxing shaded balcony.
Prepare dinner for the family in the chef's kitchen featuring granite counters and stainless appliances, that comes fully stocked with pots, pans and all the necessities for the cook in your household. The stainless gas grill on the main deck is always available to please.
After dinner relax in the living room featuring 50” smart streaming roku TV with premium cable and free WiFi, super comfy sofa and loveseat.
The master bedroom suit spans the entire 3rd floor and the most beautiful sunrises you've ever seen from your own personal balcony. It features brand new high end pillow top king mattress. You’ll think you’re sleeping on a cloud. It boasts wide open views of the surrounding river and marsh. Soak and melt away in the master bath's jacuzzi tub.
The first floor is a 1BR apartment and is a rental as well so if you need more space for a large family you can rent the entire house!
Last but certainly not least, guests also have access to their own private kayak tour guide and yoga instructor. Book with us and sign up for a private kayak tour or outside yoga class!
*Please note, the river is a tidal river and will dry out at low tide, pets must be approved prior to booking, weekend trips require a 3 night min stay or min booking fee unless attached to another reservation and we typically only book 3 months in advance to insure rates are updated. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to hosting you!

Wonderful location with a new boat dock.
4.6
Our family enjoyed our stay, the house is large and had everything we needed for the entire week. Loved the view, the bikes and kayaks and the location was great! We grilled fish several nights because there is a place 2 minutes away called Crosby's to buy fresh seafood. Took less than 10 minutes to drive to the beach and they provided free parking! A few places we really recommend are: Lolo's Seafood, Taco Boy, Page's Okra Grill, Kiss Cafe and Millers all Day (there is a very cool shop and old theatre you must go explore if you eat at Millers. We hope to stay again next year.

We enjoyed our stay and would book again.
Communication with host was great! Perfect location.

This property is centrally located between Charleston and Folly Beach! It has so many amenities. The dock and the kayaks were a highlight, but a pass for parking and beach access is also included, which is a great money saver. The neighborhood is lovely for walks and for bike rides! The views were absolutely stunning, especially the sunrises, which we enjoyed while drinking our coffee and tea. The wildlife is plentiful, even dolphins come to visit by the dock. The location of the house is so close to all of the restaurants and grocery stores.
Thr house is cozy and has all the comforts of home. I’ve never had so paper products and bathroom supplies (shampoos, conditioners, and lotions) supplied for me before this.
The owner is amazing and communicates very well! He goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect!

We enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect for Charleston locations and Folly Beach. One morning we even spotted a dolphin right out the back door. Clean with friendly neighbor.

The apartment is well stocked and always clean and inviting! Todd is amazing. He answers your questions or concerns promptly and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.
We love the view from the many decks and dock! Already looking forward to our next trip..

The house had great sunset views and was located conveniently to Folly Beach and not far from downtown Charleston. The neighborhood was great to walk in. I would definitely recommend this house.

We had a wonderful stay here. It is just as described and included bikes and kayaks. We enjoyed the deck for morning coffee and sunrises. The location is perfect; just a short drive to the beach or downtown for fun and sightseeing. I will be back.

This was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. I am used to bringing/buying all my supplies in rentals. It was super nice and stocked. There was a cabinet full of seasonings, extra trashbags, laundry soap, fabric sheets, dishwasher tabs, cleaning supplies, ziplock bags, and even parchment paper. I was able to cook dinner as if I was in my own home. However, this place had a much better view! We all enjoyed the coastal river and all the different birds we were able to enjoy. There is a shelf with games and books to enjoy. THERE WERE KAYAKS AND BIKES TO ENJOY. We took advantage of those every day. There were 3 nice bikes for adults and 2 kids bikes. The neighborhood was great. I LOVED this place and so did my kids. If we make it back to this area, we will definitely be staying here!

Our family made fun memories in this beautifully located home over a dreary March weekend. The listing was accurate and the home was comfortable for the 5 of us. Just had a couple of small hiccups which were addressed quickly by the property manager. If you love the marsh as much as we do, this is a great place!

We had a wonderful time relaxing by the marsh!

Great house to enjoy with our adult kids over Thanksgiving break. The house was comfortable and spacious for all of us. Awesome and interesting views to watch the tide come in and out. Very quiet neighborhood. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment for a Thanksgiving dinner, even if we went the untraditional route and grilled out steak on the fantastic grill. This was our first visit to the Charleston area and found it to be very convenient for getting downtown. Oh and if you are looking for Holiday things to do, the James Island County Park Festival of Lights has a fantastic Holiday light display and festival.

Nice place. Stayed with family including our two year old and my older in-laws with mobility issues. A little hard for the older individuals with the stair but it was manageable. Great view! We did experience an unexpected storm (hurricane level rain without the hurricane) it did flood all the parking area, thankfully we only had one vehicle and it fit at the top of the driveway. Which the weather was nicer so we could have checked out the kayaks. The place was clean and had basic kitchen supplies. If you need any special cooking supplies, bring them with you. It was well stocked with the essential like toilet paper, soap, dish and laundry soap, mini shampoo, body wash, lotion, etc. Owner responded to messages quickly. We would stay there again if coming to this area.

We stay in a VRBO usually once a year when attending Parents Weekend at The Citadel. We have had great experiences. This one was the best. The credit for that goes to our host Todd who was "Johnny on the spot" anytime we had a question or needed anything.
The view of this property was magnificent. Having kayaks made for some memorable trips up the creek where we saw many dolphins. The bikes allowed us to ride to the beach and over to some historic sites.
The house itself was clean, well ordered, and very comfortable. Our favorite thing was the high caliber service we received. WE WILL BE BACK!

We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back again! Todd, the owner was friendly and hospitable, taking the time to email not only instructions for the house but some wonderful activities and places to visit and dine! The house is conveniently located between Charleston and Folly Beach. The house was immaculate and comfortably furnished, with decks and a beautiful dock on a lively marsh abundant with wildlife.
Todd and his fantastic home made for a memorable and exciting getaway. Thanks Todd!

It was very nice outside view.

Beautiful views and comfortable stay. However, the host did not send check-in instructions with the address and confirmation email. So there was some confusion about how to gain access to the apartment. However, once that was settled, we had a great time. The membership pass to the local county parks and kayaking was awesome! We had a great time.

Relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed the quiet. Close to beach and not far from Charleston.

We came in town to see family and have a little family vacation. We loved the location of the home - close to the beach and beautiful water and marsh view. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the access and ease of use of the kayaks. When kayaking both days we were greeted by dolphins that swam around us. Wonderful experience! The beds and layout of the house was perfect fpr our family of 5. Each night we were able to watch a gorgeous sunset from the back porch. Extra bonus we found a yoga studio close by that we absolutely fell in love with - Yohola Yoga Factory. Also since we have an EV, there was a charger at the public library only 1.4 miles away - this was a pleasant surprise and made things easy and convenient. We highly recommend this space and will definitely be back.

This place was everything and more. The host was fantastic and very accommodating with our last minute booking and early arrival. Next time were in Charleston, we will definitely stay here again.

The place perfectly accommodated 6 of us for a long weekend. Great views of the sunset from both of the outer decks. The dramatic changing tides are fun to watch. Location is perfect. 15 mins from the city, 10 from Folly Beach. Nice quiet neighborhood. Excellent communication and service from the host, Todd. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again!!

Very peaceful place. The neighborhood was a great place to ride bikes. Lots of little extras—washer and dryer with detergent. Bathrooms with shampoo soap conditioner and bow dryer, cleaning supplies, coffee bar, etc.

Views, location, property was all great. Highly recommend
4.6
Pros: Great location with very easy access to Folly Beach. Great porches and lots of windows with views of the marsh. The hosts were very attentive and the house was nicely stocked with toiletry items.
Cons: Overall the place felt like an older rental with sub-par furnishings/furniture. The beds were not comfortable and the masters shower was really poor. We struggled with the TV/internet, although the host did try to help!
Dont think the price per night matched the quality of the place

We are laid back easy going types. We cooked fresh seafood & explored the area & drank wine, it was perfect!! The view is absolutely gorgeous. I had never been to S Carolina beaches or marsh areas. It was fascinating to me. The sunsets spectacular!!! Walked the neighborhood in the mornings. It was a 10 for us!!
4.6
We had a group of 5 stay here over our spring break and it was fantastic all around. Todd, the property owner was extremely helpful and accessible for any questions. The gazebo is incredible, with stunning views of the marsh and amazing birding and wildlife sightings. The home is about 15 minutes from downtown Charleston but feels like a world away, we felt so refreshed and rejuvenated upon leaving.
The home itself is stunning, extremely clean and has so much charm. The kitchen appliances and fixtures (plates, pots and pans, glasses, etc) were very well stocked and helpful for making meals. We would stay here many more times! Thank you to Todd!
4.6
The location was great for our family to either drive into downtown or to Folly Beach. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for relaxing on the deck! The owner was quick to respond and very thorough with information!

We stayed 3 days in this wonderful place and wish we could have stayed longer! House was large and comfortable and very well appointed. Host was very nice and communicative.

This was an amazing place. We have rented a lot of different houses over the years for vacation and this was by far the most accommodating to renters as far as stocked -ie extra thick bath towels, extra toiletries and just a very nice place. The renter cares about your stay. Highly recommend. We will rent again. Right on the marsh and beautiful house. We stayed in the upstairs apartment. 5 Star accommodations!

This nice property was conveniently located to Folly Beach downtown and beaches, the county park with an amazing dog park, and shopping. Property manager was communicative and accommodative. The property was fun, on a beautiful marsh, with kayaks and bikes, and in a walkable residential neighborhood.
