About this property

Modern Retreat in the Heart of Park Circle

Relax and enjoy the luxuries of a boutique hotel combined with the comforts of a friend's home, in walking distance of many great restaurants & bars in Park Circle, one of Charleston's most popular neighborhoods. We invite you to make yourself at home! The house consists of four nice bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, an open dining area, and a large family room with a pull-out sofa. We've recently added a patio with a gas grill, dining table and lounge area.

4 COMFORTABLE BEDROOMS
The primary bedroom overlooks the backyard and features a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with a huge walk-in shower. The other three bedrooms all have queen beds. All four beds have memory gel mattresses and luxuriously soft all cotton linens. The beds are topped with fluffy (hypoallergenic) down-alternative comforters. Three of the bedrooms have large flat screen televisions

3 MODERN BATHROOMS
The house contains three large bathrooms - two with huge walk-in showers and one with a bathtub and shower combination - enough space for your whole group to get ready at once.

GOURMET KITCHEN & DINING
The bright, open kitchen has brand new high-end appliances, immaculate counter tops, and a central island with stools. The kitchen is equipped with the tools you need to whip up a gourmet meal for your group. The kitchen is open to the dining area, making it an ideal space for a family dinner. The 8 ft dining table with 10 seats was custom-made for our space.

LARGE FAMILY ROOM W/ WORKING FIREPLACE
Past the kitchen you’ll find a spacious comfortable family room designed for entertaining with a large sectional couch, record player and record collection, board games, and a smart TV. The sectional folds out into a queen bed.

PRIVATE, FENCED YARD W/ DINING, LOUNGE, & GRILL
Sliding glass doors open the family room to the large backyard. It is surrounded by a privacy fence, making it a great place for the kids, pups, or even the adults to play. We provide corn hole, bocce ball, and a frisbee golf set. The concrete patio is furnished with a picnic table (seats 8), a sectional (also seats 8), and a gas grill. There's a train track that runs directly behind our privacy fence. Trains run several times daily and toot their horns. It can be very fun for the kids, but if you are sensitive to loud noises this may not be the property for you. Park Circle is surrounded by trains, so you'll want to consider other parts of the Charleston area.

DOG FRIENDLY - NO BREED OR SIZE RESTRICTIONS
We love dogs and our home is pet-friendly! We only asked that you please keep them off of the furniture and that you clean up after them. Please shoot us a message before booking if you are interested in bringing your pup so we can let our cleaners know.

EASY UNLOADING & CONVENIENT PARKING
There is a covered carport, long driveway, and plenty of space for parking.

INCLUDED WITH EACH STAY:

100% cotton bed linens and towels
High-speed internet/Wi-Fi
Whole bean coffee, tea, and sugar
Toilet paper and paper towels
Hotel quality shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash

Extreme Clean!

I chose this rental because of its close proximity to the 2 day music venue we attended. I have to say that this was the first VRBO where our 2 toddlers bare feet were never black with dirt after running around barefoot in the home. The property was extremely clean and comfy including beds and pillows. The passing train was never an issue…quite calming actually! The littles loved running to the backyard to wave to the conductor to get a toot toot in response! Very quiet neighborhood with restaurants within walking distance. I will stay here again if we come back. A+++

Great stay!

We met my parents and family in Charleston for a few days. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. My mother is in a wheelchair, so having a 1 story was a must.

So cute and fun!

Great place. Listing was very accurate! All of the rooms were welcoming and neatly set up. The check in and checkout was super easy. The owners were communicative and available if needed. Perfect place for my bachelorette weekend and the 3 full bathrooms were a huge bonus for 9 girls. Close to the beach and to downtown. Good food options that were close. Train that ran by the house was a little annoying, but not much that could be helped there, ear plugs and box fans were provided to dampen the train horn.

Perfect for our stay!

Great 10 min ride to the Credit One Stadium to watch tennis!!! Very nice 4/3 with lots of amenities. All beds were very comfortable and sheets and comforters clean and neat. Nice living area with Streaming TV with lots of options for watching. If you like games there are several to choose from. Kitchen is well appointed with a very nice coffee maker (coffee and sugar included), microwave, gas stove and refrigerator with ice maker. Nice large outdoor area and an occasional train that will be exiting for the kids! All in all I would recommend this home as this is my 2nd time staying here.

Responsive and generous hosts

Property was clean, hosts were extremely kind and responsive. Only downside is location and uber wait times if you want to spend a lot of time downtown. Would stay at another one of the host's properties if it were in a better location for my needs.

Great Place but Cover Yourself

Overall, the place was clean, roomy, and welcoming. Yes, there's a train that goes by right behind the backyard fence that has to sound off before crossing roads that you need to be aware of, especially light sleepers. The silent issue you need to be aware of, at least in my case, was the owners. I reached out to them before my stay to make sure I would have extra sheets for the air mattress, but they decided not to reach out to me about keeping the $500 damage deposit, despite having my number. They left it to me to check my credit card statement, see it hadn't been refunded, and then message them. If they had reached out I could have explained that the damage was present when I arrived, and they had missed it during their inspection of their own property. I'm just glad I saw the issue and took a photo to prove it was there. This lack of communication was very frustrating and could have been avoided. I sincerely hope the owners implement a new process across all of they properties for issues like this in the future.

Cute But…

Pros:Cute layout and looks like it was remodeled in the inside. Great communication with the host. Beds were comfy. The had the house stocked with a lot of the essentials, like cleaning supplies, appliances, spices, utensils, etc. Very rare to see in VRBO rentals and we did appreciate that. Cons:even though it states that a train passes several times, it should be noted that a train comes through every two hours in a 24hr period and blares the horn. The tracks are maybe less then a 100 steps from the house. So if you want to sleep through the night this house may not be for you. The outside of the house did not match the inside(super cute inside). The walk to Park City was about an 18min walk and we did not feel comfortable, as females, walking alone in this area. We did drive there and I will say, Park City is a cute area but wanted to make others aware of the “walking” distance to it. Overall enjoyed our stay and appreciate allowing us to stay here.

Nice interior, but train and neighborhood not so great

Did a great job with the interior design of the home. Very nice and comfy. There’s a train that literally goes through the backyard multiple times throughout the night (as well as during the day) and uses its super loud horn while passing by. Besides the train and a neighbor who decided to ride his loud chopper up and down the street one night, the neighborhood ended up being otherwise quiet and fine. It’s not the best part of town - only a minute or two in each direction and you get into some real sketchy areas. It was a good deal relative to properties in Mt Pleasant, for example, and we were late to the game in reserving a place. Overall, nice interior design of the home but train and neighborhood not great. Handled our family of 11 easily.

Perfect for large families

Great location- very convenient to bars/restaurants. 15 min drive to downtown charleston and 20min to sullivans beach. super responsive host. house is very clean. beds are comfortable. Two large air mattresses. plenty of space for 8 of us to fit comfortably. will note that the train is literally directly behind the house and runs at all hours of the night so you do hear the train horn quite frequently. Definitely would stay again if ever back this way.
