The one thing that stands out is the peacefulness. Old oak tress with the hanging Spanish Moss with the river behind them and watching the sunset.

Our stay at Waterway was excellent! The location is super convenient and the grounds and view from the property are fantastic. We felt welcomed from tge moment we arrived until leaving, and did not want to leave. An assortment was available daily for breakfast includ8ng made to order qaffles, eggs, smoken salmon, smoothies, cappuccinos, and i could go on. We were greeted each evening with a glass of wine when returning from a day out. The hosts are fantastic and it was a great experience.

Rob and Zack are lovely, welcoming, warm and knowledgeable.
Rooms and all over decor have the sophisticated laid back elegance of the world travelers they are.
Has Zack trained at the Ritz? I asked myself the question as he is gracious, attentive seems to know what I may need before I do.
I loved my 3 days with them. Am coming back with my sister this automne. We are both interested in history and architecture. On this side of the pond this is just about as good as it gets.
Thank you Zack et Rob for a beautiful stay.

During the time of the pandemic this B&B was the perfect non-hotel location on the river with gorgeous Five oaks. The hosts Rob and Zach so interesting to talk with having lived all over the world made for break great breakfast conversation. Very easy access to downtown historic Charleston. Zach Fixed wonderful breakfast including sausage from all over the world and fruit smoothies every morning. We visited Middleton place to focus on outdoor activities and can't wait to come back to see if the camellias in bloom over the winter. The room was very spacious with a king size bed and an outdoor seating area with a canopy. Pat n Gary from Southport NC

This is a superb B&B in every respect - truly a role model. Friendly, educated hosts, beautiful home, lovely bedroom with an awesome view of the river. And, excellent breakfasts each morning.

This was the relaxing end to a 3 week road trip. We were so looking forward to this stay that we wondered if it would live up to expectations. Well if it was possible it exceeded all of our hopes. The welcome from Robert and Zack was warm and a cup of tea was made. Then at check in you could see the beautiful ground floor of their tasteful home. But the views from all the first floor bedrooms and large balconies were amazing. We were proud to share their home and would not hesitate to recommend others to enjoy this outstanding home.

Had an amazing first trip to Charleston. First time staying in a bed and breakfast and could not have been more pleased. Enjoyed everything about it.

One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Highly recommend this place to everyone

Robert and Zach were awesome hosts. We enjoyed our couple days at waterway. The setting is amazing, the location is nice(15 minutes to downtown$12-15 Uber). We have stayed at the nicer hotels in downtown and mount pleasant....the waterway is nicer and half the cost. A healthy light breakfast is served daily. Robert even shared a bottle of bubbly for my wife’s birthday....cheers guys. Book the waterway...you will not regret it!

Far exceeded our expectations. Beautiful home, with great views from any bedroom. Loved hanging out on the dock in the evenings. Will absolutely return, and for a longer stay. We only got to stay one night this time. It was a 10-15 min. drive to the historic district, but that was a good thing, as staying here really brought reality to the saying "get away". So relaxing. Excellent service, and super friendly, while easily having our own space when desired. I've seen complaints about breakfast. My comment on that, if you're main reason to stay in a Charleston B&B is to eat a huge, calorie-ridden breakfast, then OK, maybe this wouldn't be your first choice. We were served a delightful, and healthy, smoothie, choice of cheese, yogurt, and fresh bread, with a nice variety of jams and jellies. For us, it was perfect. We eat healthy on a regular basis, and got to enjoy something different here. I found the change in breakfast style to be a welcome addition to our stay. Again, highly recommended!

We LOVED Robert and Zach! Our stay was so relaxed and their bed and breakfast is the perfect place to unplug. The rooms (2nd floor) were very clean and opened onto a large shared deck overlooking the water and beautiful moss covered oak trees. The swing hanging from the huge oak tree was my favorite spot! The Roam bath ammenities smelled wonderful and Im going to order for my bathroom at home. Im not a morning person, so my husband enjoyed going down to breakfast and visiting with other guests and brought me up a cappuccino from Zach while I got ready for the day. They offered everything from wine to mimosas and the first night Robert, Zach and the other couple and us took his boat to the crab shack. We saw bottlenosed dolphins along the way! Our last night there, Zach made an amazing authentic Indonesian stirfry along with cocktails, fresh strawberries and cream for dessert. If you want to watch TV in your room, bring your laptop. They have a fridge stocked with bottled water (and coke). This was nice to have to start the day. Its very convenient to everywhere in Charleston and no more rgan 30 min drive to anywhere around. Head over to Shem Creek in Mt Pleasant for amazing cocktails and grilled seafood. Shem Creek Bar and Grill were my fave...done in butter and garlic so I could somewhat stick to my lowcarb. We wont talk about fun, fruity drinks!! I give this a 10 star rating and we will be back again soon!!! Thank you Robert and Zach!!

The place is simply picturesque. Built in 1999, eclectic and very tastefully furnished. The owner is a South African "Chap" some Africana decor, not at all overly done, just the right amount. The setting is sitting perfectly on a point. Huge old trees which have been on the property for 150 plus years, spanish moss hanging down as if it were hand placed in just the right places. Boat dock on the property. Sun sets are beyond words.
Now, the proprietor (Rob) is a true joy to speak with. Easily engaged and the perfect host, along with his very apt Inn Keeper (Zachary). Truly, TRULY warm and welcoming hosts. Breakfast was perfect Light Fare (French Country), baguette jams and jellies, fruit, yogurt, cereal, a very good smoothie, juice and a very good cup or three of coffee. Wife had cappuccino, that she enjoyed.
We look forward to our next stay in Charleston. BTW, its only a short easy drive to historic Charleston. Or Rob is happy to give a boat tour of the Bay and the USS Yorktown etc. Not sure of the cost, as we just did not have the time.

This is an amazing Bed and Breakfast right on the water! It includes free parking, free breakfast, a king size bed, a huge personal bathroom and closet and a room that has it's own roof-top patio overlooking the river. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. When I booked this I did not know it was a Bed and Breakfast. We actually didn't find out it was one until our arrival. The house has 3 bedrooms (all upstairs) and according to the staff they are keep full most of the time. We were very comfortable there and relaxed on our deck and at the boat dock and swing. Great B & B.
