This property was perfect for our family trip! Communication with StayDuvet prior to our trip was super easy. We had absolutely no reason to contact the company once we arrived - everything was in order! House was well stocked with basic supplies. The home itself was beautiful and charming. Bedrooms were spacious and everything was clean. Great location to walk to King St and a quick Uber ride to the waterfront area. We go down to Charleston fairly often and would definitely stay here again if it is available!

The pictures do not do justice to this beautiful place. Not only is it beautiful, it is comfortable. The bedrooms (each with an en suite, beautiful and functional bathroom) are very roomy and the beds are comfortable. There are plenty of seating options in the living room and in the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it is well stocked with everything you need. We didn't lack for a single thing. In our experience with VRBOs, that is very rare and very appreciated. Parking is easy and incredibly convenient. The property is close to everything you care to do in Charleston and the neighborhood feels safe and welcoming. We will be back and we will recommend this wonderful place to everyone we know.

We absolutely loved the Rainbow Cottage. It is so cute and well maintained. Everything you need for a great stay and close to everything. It is beautiful. Of note the drive way is through a very tight alley to get to parking spot. If you have a large vehicle you might not be able to get through. We had a dodge charger and while it was tight we had no problems. The Wonderer is heavily advertised as a luxury resort experience but it is not. It is very underwhelming. Spend your time in Charleston. Overall great stay and would definitely stay here again!

Great and comfortable home. Nice pictures, but so much better in person. Very spacious overall. Great kitchen, excellent appliances. Short walk to King Street. Access to all streaming services through StayDuvet. Great shower in the master bedroom. Three nights was not long enough.

This property is settled in between two larger houses making it appear smaller than it is in pictures. This property is amazing! Perfect getaway for two couples! Clean, comfortable and spacious! Very well kept! Two good sized bedrooms with king beds and private baths! The pictures in the listing are acurate.
You can walk, use the free trolley or Uber to different parts of the city. We really enjoyed our stay here!

We spent two nights here in March 2023 and wish it could have been longer. I could not be more pleased. House was interesting, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Great location, lovely neighborhood, quiet, off street parking. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. Spectacular.

We counted 40 faux plants and trees. They got in the way and one tree was blocking the downstairs thermostat. It was 24 hours into the stay that we finally found the thermostat! The photos also don’t show the gaudy draperies. The house is clean and updates are great - someone has come in a little too heavy with the greenery and draperies.
We tried to use the Wanderer gym facility but the hours were 11:30-5:30 and didn’t work with our timing. I never heard back from the concierge about accommodating a different time frame which was disappointing.

Great spot. Location was excellent and the house was fantastic and delivered exactly as promised.
5.0
We spent 2 weeks in February and LOVED this location. Very walkable to King St as others have stated. We had no kids/no pets. Friends came to visit/stay. It reminded us of a 2 story tiny house. 1st floor with a well appointed kitchen, liv room, laundry & 1/2 bath. 2nd story w/2 large bedrooms w/king beds & ensuite bathrooms. Roomy, comfortable, & plenty of hot water.
Outdoor deck area in rear overlooks parking lot, has seating - did not use. Not much to look at & tree berries/birds splattered space & made it messy. Front yard has table on brick patio / not as messy as rear/our preference when warm enough.
PROS; Location, comfort of home layout,
beautiful finishes, considerate amenities & supplies. Comfortable beds.
CONS: Parking is tight- alley access- but doable. Some furniture is not big on comfort (kitchen chairs, bar stools, liv room chair w/ottoman-but not a deal breaker for short term. Some street noise on weekends from college students on Rutledge St. Management response & interaction is average.

Great experience all around Felt like a home away from home

This is a comfortable cottage about 1/2 mile from King St. Close enough to walk to it, and far enough to be away from the noise. We were also thankful for the assigned off-street parking, although it is a tight fit through the alley to access the parking area. Fortunately, we had a small compact rental car, so had no issues. We really liked the private back patio too!

House was well stocked and clean. Parking was tight, but adequate. Not really walking distance to historic areas, so a car is a must.

The cottage was beautiful with updated amenities, anything we needed was there. The 4 post bed was so comfortable with perfect pillows and comforter. The walk downtown wasn't bad either. Traffic was loud outside, but you can't hear it inside. The patio and deck were enjoyable to sit in the evenings. Highly recommend this property!

Very comfortable. Quiet location. Driving into Olivers Ct was a little tricky. Parking space marked but a little tricky getting in and out with other cars there.
For a 4 day stay a guest would expect adequate toilet tissue-like extra roll or two in bathrooms. None. Last day took roll from upstairs bath for bath downstairs- leaving none. Facial tissue box downstairs had 2 tissues. Easily remedied☺️

Beautiful, spotless home in a fantastic location. This rental was perfect for our family of four and fully equipped with everything we needed. The little front yard is a huge plus for a drink outside and space for kids to play.

Facility is nice, however the furnishings and linens lacked the “premier” property feel. Overall ease of checking and out as well as space was nice. Parking is extremely difficult if you have a larger vehicle or more than one.
