Cozy and casual with all the comforts of a beach cabin, just not on the beach. Private feel with easy access to Folly Beach and downtown Charleston and the airport. Great place for a family vacation with 2 rooms and bath, nice layout. Really enjoyed our time here! Thanks Kit!

This duplex is a great location for a quick and easy drive to Folly Beach and to Charleston. The unit had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay and was clean upon arrival. The air conditioning units were key and helped to reduce the dampness in the air. I would stay again.
