We loved our stay at Tim’s place! It had the charm of the historic homes in Charleston while being modern. It had a comfy homey feel. It was walking distance to king street, the battery, etc. while still being quiet and private! Also centrally located by car to mount pleasant, shem creek, Sullivans island, folly beach and more! It had an off street parking space with an ev charger. Tim had nice little touches, including some snacks, coffee, and complimentary bottle of wine that we enjoyed on the front patio by the fountain! We will definitely be staying again when we head back to Charleston!

Perfect spot for an amazing stay in Charleston. The location is ideal, great AC, along with comfy mattresses and pillows. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need…a real bonus to find Tim provided wine and coffee for his guests. The home is close to everything…walk on the battery, around the lake, through the historical neighborhoods not to mention shopping and restaurants! If you want to beach it, free parking outside your door. Highly recommend! It is absolutely perfect:-) We will definitely be back.
