Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Charleston Harbor

Laurence place was a perfect get away for our little family! It was close to everything, clean, and peaceful. Thank you Laurence for everything and making our first family vacation special! We are looking forward to staying there again when we are back in town!

The house was perfect for my family for our vacation. We were close enough to everything we wanted to do while being out of the hustle and bustle of city life. Hoping to get to Charleston again in the future and would definitely stay here again, as long as it would be available. We had the best time!

Excellent property with a great location! Responsive hosts.

We had a fantastic stay at "Blackbeard's Captains Quarters" in Folly Beach. This cozy one-bedroom was just right for our small family, including our toddler. The location is perfect: a quick five-minute walk to the beach via the public access trail. The house was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and coffee bar. The king-size bed in the bedroom was super comfortable, and the fold-out bed was great, too. The neighborhood block is quiet, and we loved the fun backyard space. Parking was a non-issue (you can park in front or back of the property). The outdoor shower was nice (right next to the entry door), and the public laundry room had plenty of beach chairs for our use. Our host, David, was exceptional—proactive, communicative, and provided clear check-in/check-out instructions. This place is a gem for small families or anyone seeking a compact, comfortable stay. Highly recommend! Five stars!

We came back for a third stay for our regular family trip to Charleston. We keep coming back for the household amenities, proximity to playgrounds, restaurants and grocery stores and the fact that the place is equidistant from Folly and downtown.

This place was very clean and well decorated. We felt right at home the whole time! The upkeep of the property is immaculate as well! It was a 10-15 minute drive from Charleston and the beaches, which was perfect when having a toddler that needs to get back for a nap at any point in the day. We would recommend this place to any family visiting Charleston!

This place was absolutely adorable! The host was very responsive and flexible. Quick uber ride to king street but tucked away from the crowds. Love!!!

Absolutely loved staying here! Was only 15 mins from Folly Beach and 15 mins from downtown Charleston. Traffic was never too bad. Fantastic restaurants and coffee shops. The house was clean and had everything our family needed - even had a nice beach wagon that saved my husband on our beach days! Would definitely stay again when we’re able to make it back down to Charleston.

We had a wonderful stay right on King Street—an unbeatable location in the heart of Charleston. The Airbnb was clean and perfect for exploring the downtown on foot. Check-in was smooth, and the host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Charleston.

This place is great!!! Fantastic location right on the downtown main street with tons of great restaurants, etc, but is upstairs and private and reasonably quiet. Really liked their decor, host was very proactive as well. I'll definitely be staying here whenever I'm in the Charleston area

We had a great time staying at Donna's place with our infant. It was nice to feel right at home!

I had a wonderful stay at Jenny's home. Perfect, safe location for a solo female traveler. Central location so you are only minutes away from the beach and downtown Charleston.

My stay here was fantastic. The apartment is in a perfect location for visiting Charleston. I could walk everywhere. We walked to many great restaurants, to the battery and to King Street. The apartment had great AC, which was important for a June visit. Unit was very clean and well stocked. It had everything I needed- lots of clean towels, paper towels, toilet paper etc. Hosts were friendly and responsive. My son visited me and he was able to park on the street with the permit that was provided with no issues. I loved this place and would stay here again.

Nice clean townhouse. Bedrooms and full bath upstairs. Clean and comfortable beds. Half bath downstairs. Fenced backyard for the pets was nice. Very easy to find. And close to Shems Creek , Sullivan's Iskand , Charleston and Isle of Palm. Very comfortable townhouse.

Airbnb Mary Ann is an excellent host. She was very thoughtful from the beginning giving us a lot of additional information about places to go and helpful suggestions. Her place is very clean and cozy in quite and friendly neighborhood. We felt like we are visiting our friends. She had many little useful details in the bathroom, kitchen, and even outside. We had everything we need to enjoy our stay. Each of the things we wanted to do in the Charleston area was only about 15 minutes away. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others. Thank you, Mary Ann! 🙏💜

The place was perfect. It was clean, cozy, and exactly as described! Julia and Joan were wonderful hosts, incredibly kind and helpful from start to finish. Their communication was top-notch, and all the thoughtful touches around the place made the stay feel very comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth responded quickly to questions. She is friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. We enjoyed her condo so much we extended our stay. The condo itself was very clean and exactly as advertised. Very close to private pier and beach. Was nice to go to the beach without the crowds of public beaches. Very close to Patriotic Point, Forts Sumpter and Moultrie. Many restaurants within walking distance. We hope to make it back next year!

Stunning views from an open deck and a super comfy screened deck. Quiet serene atmosphere. Great kitchen amenities. Would definitely like to return.

Super cute outdoor areas made Fire Tower a great place to stay. It’s nearly on King’s Street where all the night life is. So many fun places! The historic Charleston is just a short walk, uber or rickshaw ride away. We are in our 60’s and enjoyed the walking to offset the fabulous food and drink everywhere. Great trip. Would stay again!

Everything was awesome. The only negative was we didn’t end up getting check-in access until about 5pm the first day, but we did get an hour later checkout. Would stay again for sure

Love IOP! Would definitely stay here again. Condo is a quick walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. What sold it for me was not having to bring any beach items. They provide the chairs, boards and towels.

Everything was as described. The apartment was very clean. It was centrally located between Mt. Pleasant and uptown Charleston.

Michaela was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you again, Michaela!

Jennifer and Chase were quick to respond to any hiccups that we encountered. The location of the condo was perfect for what we were there for. It was easy to access the beach and a very close walk to the pool. The condo was well stocked with basic essentials, and the decorations were aesthetically pleasing. Parking was plentiful and the overall area felt safe. We loved walking to the ice cream shop and having dole whip. The Acme restaurant was also an easy walk from the condo and I would recommend trying it. There’s a grocery store within a 4 minute drive and the location is close enough to do a nice day trip in Charleston. The coffee shop down the street from the condo wasn’t my cup of tea, but they were friendly and if you just need a quick pick me up it’ll do the trick. Overall, we enjoyed our trip and would come back the Sea Cabins.
