My husband and I celebrated our 29th Anniversary there. Ken was helpful and the place was adorable. We will definitely book with them again. Sorry I missed his wife as she was out of town. Thanks Ken we will see you again.

Beautiful, unique and relaxing place to stay for our weekend trip to Folly Beach and Charleston. The private pool and outdoor, tropical shower were great touches. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time staying here, but felt like it maybe overemphasized it's closeness to Folly Beach. Loved the outdoor shower, but for a "romantic" stay would definitely have preferred to have a door on the bathroom. Also definitely had a mildew problem and all our clothes came home smelling of damp.

It was our first time to Folly Beach and my wife and I stayed at the Kokomo Cottage. We stayed for 2 nights and it was the perfect little stay. Easy access to the beach and to Charleston. After a morning at the beach, we floated in the pool and captured some more sun. It had everything we needed and felt very private. Nice design touches makes you feel you're right at the beach. Would definitely consider if my wife and I are looking for an easy getaway!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Kokomo and didn't want to leave! Ken and Christine are lovely people, were very accommodating, and you hardly knew they were around. The location is perfect as it's 10 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to Folly Beach, and 30 minutes from the airport. The cottage is a perfect romantic getaway or an excellent base of operations from which to explore all the area has to offer. We can't wait to visit Kokomo Roatan next!

We loved Ken and Christine. They’re so sweet and chill. They had all the beach stuff you could need !! It’s a little pricey for the amenities you’re getting though. It is indeed a shared pool. Not private. The bed was not as comfortable as I thought it would be. Overall we’re super chill about where we stay. Just a few things to consider.

We absolutely loved our 5-night stay at Kokomo Cottage. It was quiet, peaceful and exactly what we needed after a hectic tax season. Rather heading to Folley Beach, or downtown Charleston for a day of shopping, sightseeing or an incredible dinner, the Cottage is centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Owners ensure your privacy and were very helpful, as needed! We loved our vacation and didn't want to leave! Thanks Ken and Christine!!!

It was cute and clean. The outdoor Shower was fun. The hosts were great. It was too cold to use the pool but we were gone everyday anyway. We did miss having a kitchen sink.

Unique property in a location central to Downtown
Charleston and Folly Beach. The hosts were gracious, and the property was one of a kind. We felt as if we were in the Caribbean. The outdoor shower was really cool, too. We had everything we needed for a great stay!

We loved our stay at Kokomo for our 5 year wedding anniversary! Being 15 minutes away from historic downtown Charleston and under 15 minutes from Folly Beach made it the perfect combination for a memorable stay! The cottage was exactly as advertised and the hosts were always prompt on responding to any inquiries we had. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for a Charleston getaway!!

A fantastic cottage just off the busy, beaten path. Less than 10 minutes from the beach and the calm that the distance provides is well worth it!

My mother and I went to Kokomo for a girls week. I wanted her to experience my favorite city, Charleston. We also got some beach time at Folly beach. It was great. The accommodations were great and the host were very welcoming.

We stayed at Little Kokomo for our wedding weekend and loved every minute. Ken was a gracious host and we had everything we needed from the minute we arrived. Quiet neighborhood, great amenities and perfectly situated 15 mins from Folly Beach and Downtown Chas. We can’t wait to come back!

On assignment in Greensboro NC and missing home a little bit ( NH Seacoast) so we thought we’d visit Charleston SC and all it’s history cuisine and the ocean. Never made it to Charleston but really enjoyed the Folly Beach area, Pier 101 and SC lowlands. So pretty. Found Edison and enjoyed two lovely meals right around the corner from our Kokomo home base. Many thanks to Ken and Christine for sharing their little slice of heaven with us and letting us watch the Bruins game poolside. Too short to enjoy all the area has to offer but a great getaway. Will be back. C

Cute place in a backyard in a quiet neighborhood on James island. Nice outdoor space for reading and relaxing. Only a twenty minute drive to downtown Charleston. The only only thing we missed was a stove where we could cook meals but with so many great places to eat out, we didn't miss it that much!

Nestled in a quiet and very convenient neighborhood, we felt as if we were in a bungalow on a private beach. The pool was cold, but inviting. Hosts are amazing.
Looking forward to a return in the future.

We loved our stay! My partner was hesitant about the outdoor shower, but it ended up being our favorite part. The shower pressure and water temperature was better than the Hyatt we stayed at in downtown the night prior! The owners thought of everything to include with the rental. It was equal distance between downtown and the beach. We loved having access to some beach chairs and towels to take with us to the beach. It was a very private location. Quiet. We will book again when in the area.

Renting this property was very easy on the app! Communication with the owner was excellent.
