Space
As you drive along the tree lined street shaded by the arched canopy of branches, you will feel as though you are being transported to a simpler, more peaceful time. When you pull up to our quaint red brick home, you realize that feeling will be with you for your entire stay on Folly Road. This property is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Charleston and allows you to experience its history! When you enter the home you find yourself in a comfortable living space with ample seating, lots of natural light, and a brick fireplace. It will be the perfect spot to cozy up for a movie on the smart TV. Continue into the home to a bay window that is lovely for your morning coffee as you get ready to greet the day. If you prefer a table and chairs over a window seat, there is a charming dining table that seats 6 just off of the well appointed kitchen. The kitchen opens to an expansive backyard filled with lush greenery. If you want even more nature, the backyard has access to the 10.5 mile West Ashley Greenway. The Greenway is great for walking, even with a stroller, or biking. Heading back into the house there are three bedrooms to choose where to lay your head. The primary bedroom includes a queen bed and a twin bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed, and the final bedroom also offers both a queen bed and twin bed. For added privacy and convenience, the couch in the living room includes a pull out bed. The home has two full bathrooms, one that has a tub with shower and the other having a large shower stall. With all the home has to offer, you may be tempted to stay in for your entire trip, but one of the best things about our home is the location! You have easy access to Historic Downtown Charleston, Folly Beach, and Sullivan's Island. There are so many things to do and see on your visit, so here are a few recommendations to get you started. Restaurants: Kwei Fei: Chef David Schuttenberg brings the heat on James Island to adoring fans looking for lamb dumplings, spicy noodles, and mapo tofu. Order several dishes, like dan dan noodles and lamb dumplings, because leftovers are just as good the next day. 167 Raw Oyster Bar: Enjoy the best that the ocean has to offer like oysters on the half shell, baked crab dip, and rich lobster rolls in a dining room that feels like a party room full of friends and family. 167 Raw doesn’t take reservations, so sign into the queue and explore the area while waiting for the restaurant to text. Vern's: Husband-and-wife team Daniel “Dano” and Bethany Heinze welcome you to their American bistro nestled in a mostly residential area. Dishes include roasted chicken in a brown butter jus, fresh campanelle with rabbit, and bouncy charred sourdough with allium butter. Dave's Carry-Out: A corner fish shack that consistently serves up big plates of fried fresh catch fish and all the fixin's to go with it. Bars: Sweatman's Garden: Fancy sodas, a full bar, and fondue. The sodas are nonalcoholic, but for $5 the bartenders will add your choice of house liquor or cannabis-based infusion. Lost Isle: An outdoor bar offering tasty, fun, and accessible drinks that aren't too pretentious or complex. The goal is for guests to have an uncomplicated good time. Philosophers & Fools: Technically, this is a contemporary bookshop that also serves beer, wine, and snacks. It's cozy and cute and gives you the chance to grab that bestseller you've been wanting to read without it feeling like an errand. Cleats: A sports bar focused on community and fun. They have cocktails with names like Nothing But (fer)NET (a mix of Fernet, rum, and Thai tea), spiked Gatorade, and the more traditional offerings of wine and beer. Attractions: Rainbow Row: This series of 13 brightly-colored houses along the waterfront is one of Charleston’s most photographed spots and is a spectacular site to see. Fort Sumter National Monument: Situated on an island at the entrance to Charleston Harbor and accessible only by boat, Fort Sumter is where the American Civil War started on April 12, 1861. Charleston City Market: A historic, vibrant marketplace known for its charming covered stalls, local crafts, and Southern delicacies. It offers a lively atmosphere where visitors can explore unique shops, artisanal goods, and traditional foods in a setting rich with history. Folly Beach: A laid-back barrier island renowned for its wide sandy shores, lively surf, and eclectic atmosphere. It’s a popular spot for beachgoers, surfers, and those seeking a relaxed coastal retreat.

Modern, well maintained home only 10 minutes outside of downtown Charleston. My friends and I loved the homey touches, such as extra blankets and towels, books and board games. House is on a busy road, so we recommend being precautious when turning in. Despite the location, it was virtually sound proof. Rooms were well aerated with additional fans on top of the house’s cooling system. Hosts were readily responsive. Only suggestion would be to add a toaster for guests purchasing and/or cooking their own food. Otherwise, it’s a perfect home away from home for a weekend getaway. Thank you for hosting us! Till next time :)

Beautiful home in Charleston. House is on a busy street but once inside you hardly hear any road noise. Pulling in and out of driveway looks tricky but is very manageable once the light turns for oncoming traffic. Beds were very comfy and house came with lots of amenities. We enjoyed our stay!
