"This apartment is a good fit for Charleston: quaint but updated with modern necessities. In addition to cleaning and nicely decorating, the management tends to details such as umbrellas next to the door, snacks and coffee in the kitchen, and toiletries in the bathrooms. The wifi was snappy, and we were able to connect the smart tv to our subscribed apps. The kitchen was fully outfitted for cooking, although we used it only for breakfasts. The location was just right. We walked easily to...

"Great place to enjoy the access to Folly Beach. This condo provided a very peaceful and comfortable stay away from the busy beach traffic. We appreciated all that the condo had to offer especially the beautiful sunset views. We definitely underestimated the four flights of steps, it’s not for everyone who may have physical challenges that may hinder their ability to climb. It revealed the level of out of shape my husband and I maybe. Although the condo was mostly very clean, it could benefit...

The Palmetto Hotel

The Palmetto Hotel

5/5 Excellent
Super nice for a special occasion!
"We stayed here for an anniversary trip. The staff was so friendly and helpful the entire time. The room (King) was very comfortable and well equipped. There was some noise from the room above, but not too objectionable. The location was perfect for us, as we were never further than a 10 minute walk to our restaurant choices."
