About this house rental

Come relax at our charming, newly renovated home built in the 1930's. This peaceful, well-designed retreat under live oaks has all the charm of the old but with all the upgraded, desirable features: large kitchen, open floor plan, brand new hardwood floors through out, and large master suite. A spacious deck featuring a large live oak providing a canopy over the serene half acre lot. Walking distance to many restaurants/bars, movie theatre, and minutes from downtown Charleston and Folly Beach.
The space
A large open kitchen provides the space for many to enjoy the fun of cooking together. For those that prefer to watch the cooks, there's a large bar that looks over the kitchen. The home has an open floor plan so just behind the bar is the dining room offering a variety of spots for all to eat together. Off the dining room is large living room offering two couches and a recliner. There is also a spot next to the large bay window that makes the perfect reading nook! We have three queen sized bedrooms with dressers and ample closet space. The master suite features a tray ceiling and a large TV on the wall. The master bath offers a walk in closet, a large vanity with two sinks and an alcove. There is a half bath just off the hallway next to the laundry room.
Guest access
The property sits on a large half acre lot. In the back of the property is our sister Airbnb: Coastal Cottage. It features a quaint one bedroom bungalow. Guests of Coastal Cottage are at the back of the property and park directly in front of the home. Guests at Live Oak Retreat have ample parking space along 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. We have never had any issues with parking but want to make sure all guests are aware of how to share the parking space.

Great little place in James Island... around 4 miles between beach and necessities like grocery, restaurants, etc. SO clean and all the amenities you need for a weekend or longer.

This well decorated and comfortable home was just perfect for old friends to reconnect. Since we all had lived in Charleston we were not into sight seeing but this location is an excellent choice for anyone who is. The bedrooms are very comfortable, great bedding, well appointed kitchen, quiet neighborhood, and cozy living room. It was a bit to warm to use the patio, but there is a great grill and table in the beautiful back yard. Thanks to our host, Kenneth, for making this a perfect choice.

This house was a fantastic find for our girls trip. Plenty of room for our own space but nice gathering areas as well. It was centrally located to all our destinations. Communication with the hosts was timely and helpful. Beds were comfortable and we had enough linens for our stay. We appreciated the washer and dryer to be able to do laundry during our stay. Only recommendation would be a journal for guests to leave notes on places to visit, eat, avoid, etc. hosts did provide several travel guides and pamphlets for things to do. If we ever return to the area I would look at this property to stay again.
