Hosted by Stay Lowcountry
Stay Lowcountry aim to show our Lowcountry guests an authentic Charleston experience that will inspire a sense of love and respect for these beautiful lands.
Most of our properties call the islands home – James and Johns, to be precise. We’ve got others, nestled in cool neighborhoods in Mt. Pleasant and Park Circle. They all offer a unique glimpse into a local's life in the Lowcountry. We think you’ll love it here as much as we do.
