Summary: This is a wonderful little spot to stay if you want to be close to Charleston but also not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle that the city offers. It was very clean and quiet, while having plenty of space and appliances that if you wanted to stay in for a night and just relax you totally can.

Summary: To say we were impressed with this cottage is an understatement. From getting fresh-baked cookies and wine at check-in, to getting a whole beach setup when we mentioned going to Folly Beach, Margie and Sid outdo themselves to make sure your trip is memorable! The cottage is tucked away in the backyard, it was very quiet and peaceful when we were there. The location is great! About 15 minutes from downtown Charleston, about 20 minutes from Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if visiting Charleston. Thanks for sharing your backyard cottage with us, Margie and Sid!

Summary: This beautiful backyard cottage was perfect. The owners, Margie and Sidney thought of everything, from the homemade chocolate chip cookies, to beverages and snacks. The cottage was sparkling clean and was a short drive to downtown Charleston. We had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our trip!

Summary: Spent our anniversary weekend at the backyard cottage. The reviews were spot on, Margie has literally thought of EVERYTHING, including fresh baked cookies and a bottle of wine waiting for us! The location was super convenient to everything we wanted to do and see. Hoping to return for future stays!

Summary: My wife and I stayed here for three nights. We had a wedding in town, and it was an excellent fit for the two of us. It is easy to come and go as you please, and you feel secluded from the main house, which we liked. The cottage is very clean and well-kept. You can tell the owners take pride in keeping this place in pristine condition. We visited the downtown area several times during our stay, and it was easy to get to from this place. If we are ever in the Charleston area again, we would definitely go back here. Highly recommended!
