The Space: Truly a Quiet Private Retreat
While Charleston is undeniably beautiful, it is still a busy city. Our peaceful and serene house offers three key features for a quiet stay:
1. Location: Tucked back from the street, our house ensures a quiet
atmosphere without the noise of passing cars, unlike most other properties which are street front. Walk to King St or any of the surrounding coffee shops, bars and hidden gem restaurants in the neighborhood.
2. Exclusive Privacy: Many guest accommodations in Charleston are large houses split into condos, but The Retreat is a standalone house exclusively for you. Say goodbye to shared walls or neighboring parties, and enjoy uninterrupted privacy. Wifi extenders for our high speed wifi provide coverage even in the backyard!
3. Private Fenced Backyard: Unwind with your loved ones in our secluded, fenced backyard. There’s not many similar back yards in the area, providing a unique space where you can relax with your family and friends. The outdoor grill is no longer for guest use.
The House
Recently renovated, our modern house is perfect for groups of 2-4 guests, featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath.
The open floor plan makes it ideal for spending quality time together.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans & utensils you’ll need.
Publix Supermarket is just 1 mile away and multiple convenience stores in walking distance. Dine indoors or outdoors on the patio.
The bedrooms are dark & cool, designed for a restful sleep, with very comfortable beds that have received many compliments from our guests.
Love your travel companions, but want some alone time? With different zones such as the front porch, the back yard, the living areas, and the bedrooms, you can find your own personal space.
The Front Porch
The front porch gets the morning sunlight, it’s the perfect spot to start your day as you sip your morning coffee while listening to the birds
Once settled in, you'll find that you won’t need your car unless you plan to go to the beach, which is just a 20-minute drive away.
We provide one off-street parking spot. Due to the secluded location of the house, oversized vehicles (e.g. a Ford Expedition) will find the driveway tight and should park on the street.
There is light construction happening next door, but workers abide by strict hours to no disturb the neighborhood. They are not allowed to operate outside of 7am to 7pm on weekdays, and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Absolutely no work on Sundays or Holidays.
