Island Nest
My husband and I booked this trip for our honeymoon. We loved the central, safe, and quiet location. The unit was very clean and the check in process was seamless. We wished there was a little more counter (or table) space in the kitchenette, but the outdoor kitchen provided ample extra space. Overall, this listing is great and we would stay here again!

Perfect stay!
This stay was beyond expectations! The photos do not fully encapsulate the experience. David was a very accommodating and prompt professional host . All booking and stay information was effectively communicated , efficient and easily accessible. David was accommodating to the times of our stay especially at short notice. The room itself was spotless, perfectly adorned and spacious. Perfect Air conditioning to escape the heat . The outdoor deck and patio were perfect. Approximately 10mins give or take from Folly Beach and close to stores , restaurants etc. I booked this suite as a gift and they absolutely loved it! Thank you.

Comfortable,Clean, and Convenient
The Island Nest property was exactly as described.It was spotlessly clean and comfortable.There was a lot of parking, and the visitors in the other two units were quiet and never disturbed us in any way. However, the road in front was often very busy making it difficult to hear the tv on the deck- not really a deal breaker!The location is close to Folly Beach and getting to downtown Charleston is not a problem.The property owners were very attentive and helpful and were available to answer questions.

Good location between Folly and Downtown Charleston
This rental is as described. We were looking for a quiet low key rental between Folly and Downtown Charleston. The best part of the rental was the bed/pillows and jacuzzi tub. The road it’s on is pretty busy, so we didn’t really spend but an hour on the deck as it was a little noisy. However, the patio is very nice and we would have enjoyed it otherwise. There is good communication so there is zero chance that you’d have to reach out with any questions. Lastly, I would advise you to leave the rental 15mins before checkout, as the cleaning crew will be ready to enter early. To summarize, we had a comfortable stay and we were in a good location in relation to the places we wanted to visit.

Charleston Anniversary Trip
This is a great property with an overall good location in the Charleston area. We easily accessed Charleston, North Charleston, Mt. Pleasant and Folly Beach. The hosts were very easy to contact, instructions were detailed and provided for an easy self check in and check out process. Accommodations were as advertised and the tub was great after a full of day of walking and touring the area! The outdoor kitchen may not be for everyone if you are planning to cook all your meals. However, if you plan to eat your larger meals out or you are used to cooking in an outdoor kitchen, the Island Nest is a fantastic place! We highly recommend you trying it!

Great Honeymoon Spot :)
This was the perfect spot for our honeymoon in Charleston. The property was private, cozy, and romantic, yet it was plenty spacious enough for 2 people. It's also in a super convenient location- only 10-15 minutes from downtown Charleston or the beach. It was nice to be able to go out on excursions and come back to our quiet nest in the evenings. David, the property manager, was quick to respond to any questions we had as well. We would absolutely stay here again.
