Margie thought of everything including a phone charger, which my husband forgot. It was a great location and an easy drive to downtown. I can’t recommend it enough!!! ##### Jen O.

Cleanliness is extremely important to us & the hosts did not disappoint. The decor of the cottage, quality of the linens & the treats left for us was superb! The info & the pictures on VRBO were accurate. Book this cottage & you will not be disappointed. It’s amazing! ##### Lora S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This hidden gem is tucked away, but also in a lively part of town which will meet all your expectations and beyond! Absolutely spotless clean and the hosts make you feel like you are at a home away from home! Tucked away in a backyard garden setting which is breathtaking. Great local food scene less than a 1/2 mile walk with some of the highest rated restaurants in Charleston. Fabulous BBQ at Swig & Swine we walked there twice in our stay for dinner! Short ride or uber to downtown Charleston. I can’t think of even one thing the hosts could change to make the stay any better than it is! 10 out of 10! Avoid the overpriced downtown and STAY HERE! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin N.

Got to enjoy the hustle of downtown Charleston, but leave it and go to this beautiful place to relax. This place was beyond clean and all the little touches you guys added was awesome. Anytime we go to Charleston, we will stay here ##### Steven J. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah H.

Mar 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary trip To say we were impressed with this cottage is an understatement. From getting fresh-baked cookies and wine at check-in, to getting a whole beach setup when we mentioned going to Folly Beach, Margie and Sid outdo themselves to make sure your trip is memorable! The cottage is tucked away in the backyard, it was very quiet and peaceful when we were there. The location is great! About 15 minutes from downtown Charleston, about 20 minutes from Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if visiting Charleston. Thanks for sharing your backyard cottage with us, Margie and Sid! ##### Kelly H.
