The Boathouse

We call it the Boathouse, but it could just as easily be called the treehouse. It sits just feet from a tidal creek amidst giant live oak trees. A short dock is right outside the door, so bring your kayaks or other small craft. Although cozy, it offers everything a simple cottage should. Shem Creek is minutes away, as are the beaches. Patriot's Point and the Ravenel Bridge are a short walk away. This is the closest residential neighborhood to Charleston that you will find in Mt Pleasant. 567068

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The hosts also provided excellent recommendations for local things to do, which helped us make the most of our trip.

Coastal Caviar - The Ossetra - Honeymoon Suite

BryanRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This was the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The houseboat is in a perfect location, sitting right at the iconic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, close to all the hotspots in Charleston. It was a beautiful home and exceeded our expectations. There was occasional wake from boats coming/going, but it was truly hardly noticeable so don’t let that be a deterrent from staying here. We even saw dolphins each morning swimming in the harbor from the front deck of the houseboat! The hosts were excellent with communication. We will definitely be back!

Coastal Charm: Village Hideaway

AlexRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our stay at the Village Hideaway was perfect for our family! We actually live in Mount Pleasant and had water damage in our home and were having major repairs done to our flooring. We chose Christina’s place because of the location and because for a 2 bedroom place it was very spacious. It is a beautiful and cozy house, has great appliances, and it is extremely clean and well maintained. Christina was a great host, always available when needed, and very personable. I fully recommend the Hideaway to anybody who wants to stay in a private house close to the best of Mount Pleasant and a short drive to Charleston!

Casa Zoë | Historic Garden Carriage House CHS

MarianneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Wow. This is an amazing place to stay in Charleston — truly a one-of-a-kind experience! This carriage house is remarkably well done, keeping all of its unique historic character while providing all the needed/desired modern amenities. The neighborhood is so charming, as is the meticulously-kept courtyard garden. We especially enjoyed our time at The Wonderer. It’s a bit of a drive, but it gave us all the hotel perks we could have wanted while allowing us to enjoy the benefits of our own private space. The owners were so helpful and accommodating, and we loved their guide to the city. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Moonlight Mile Studio Apt Charleston/ Folly

KristynRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I can’t say enough great things about Joey & Tracey’s place! The inside just radiates positive vibes! I was obsessed with all the beautiful potho plants! The couch and bed were very comfortable! The bathroom had everything you could need from cotton balls to Qtips! Even after sun lotion! The closet had bags and sunscreen and a beautiful beach hat I was thankful to have access to when we went to the beach! Everything about this place was very thought out and wonderful it truly made mine & my husbands stay a memorable one! Tracey even let me take one of her Monstera plants home as a fellow plant lover I will always think of Joey & Tracey’s place as this plant grows ! This was mine and my husband’s first time away from our 4 kids in 11 years so everything was just perfect!
