Perfect in between

We loved this stay! It was the perfect spot in between Folly and Charleston. Although we didn't hang around the property too much due to a wedding, it was comfortable enough for 5 people and would have been a cool place to hang and cook dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved it!

The Island Hideout was perfect. It was very clean and comfortable with lots of room, comfy beds and convenient parking. The location was so convenient to everthing you come to Charleston for: the beach, great food, entertainment etc but still tucked into a quiet peaceful neighborhood. David was easy to communicate with and check in was a breeze. We will definitely stay here again and recommend The Hideout to others! Thanks for a great stay!

Great hideaway

Fabulous stay! The yard was ideal for my 2 pups to run around and get exercise. Although there is another apartment and a cottage, I never saw anyone and the area was peaceful and quiet. I used the bed in the main area as it was a bit cooler in the hot summer. It was akin to living in a studio apartment. The other separate bedroom has a ceiling fan and is comfortable with a slider to the yard. Easy access to downtown in 10 minutes yet away from the hustle and bustle. I would highly recommend and will stay again if opportunity arises.

Easy Peasy!

My mom recently moved to Bishop Gadsden (a retirement home) and no longer has a guest bedroom to stay in, so my siblings and I looked into alternatives (hotel, stay with friends, etc…) Island Retreat is the PERFECT solution. It’s one of three properties on the “compound”. It’s clean, safe and so easy, which is just what I need. It’s also close to the Walmart if you need anything. I will say the bathroom is teensy (no counter space at all and a tiny shower) so I think it wouldn’t be great for a group of friends - just something to keep in mind. Other than that it’s pretty much perfect.

Outdoor shower, clean, bike-able… lovely lil stay

It was a lovely stay. One of the best features was the outdoor shower for cleaning off after going to the beach! So convenient. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Appreciate an easy check in system and the security of the gate! Location was fantastic, central to folly, west Ashley, downtown, mount pleasant… all places we wanted to visit. I got to run away to Starbucks one morning for an hour to read and my husband and 7 year old were able to easily bike up to where I was to then hop in the car to go down to the beach so I loved how’s bike-able this location was. Inside, things were nicely labeled so you knew where EVERYTHING was. Fresh sheets and bedspreads, clean floors and bathroom. Air purifier in central location. Generously left snacks on counter. Enjoyed it :)

Perfect Location

Stayed here to visit my son who recently moved to Charleston. The space was perfect and within driving distance of many points of interest. It had everything you could ask for. The bed was so.....comfy and the shower was wonderful. The property was very clean. The beach chairs were a nice feature. We will be back .
