About this cottage rental
Come enjoy some peace and quiet in this private, simple (yet comfortable) cottage located under the Oak trees of Johns Island. 20 minutes from Downtown Charleston, Folly Beach, and Kiawah. Enjoy a fire in the fire pit, heat up the grill for some fresh seafood or take a hot shower under the stars! (Just to be clear, there is also a very nice interior shower!)
The Sleepy Shack is private, comfortable, and clean! The studio apartment is ideal for two tenants. Three can easily fit in this 500 square foot cabin if one person doesn't mind the sleeping on the couch.
The rear porch is private and guests have their own separate outdoor area with a fire bowl and grill.
The Sleepy Shack is within walking distance to Low Tide Brewery and a very close drive to other various dining options. Catch a movie at the Terrace Theater or enjoy some live music at The Pour House (within 5 miles).
Come explore Johns Island - The Vineyard, Sweet Water Distillery, the Tea Plantation, Angel Oak, the Johns Island Farmers Market. Johns Island is also ideal for those who wish to enjoy distance biking through the oak trees, rivers and marshes of this rural (yet convenient) area. The wide, quiet beaches of Kiawah are just a scenic drive down the way.
Or hop over to neighboring James Island to enjoy the fun and sun of Folly Beach. Check out the fishing and surfing at the pier, or relax in the tidal pools, or shop and dine on the main drag. Grab some fresh Seafood from Crosby's or Huff's and bring it back to cook on the grill!
James Island County park is about 7 minutes from the cottage and offers scenic bike and walking trails as well as climbing wall and other great opportunities for fun with the kids!
20 minutes from the heart of Downtown Charleston! Knock the sand off your flip flops and head downtown where you can enjoy extensive history, culture and (definitely) food options! A beautiful place the visit - there are Harbor Tours, Carriage Rides, Ghost Tours, The Market, Water Front Park, Marion Square and an unending assortment of dining options to explore!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin was clean, private, and cozy. We had absolutely everything we needed. Would definitely rent again.

We enjoyed our stay in the Sleepy Shack. It is rustic, but we found it just as pictured and described. It is behind the owner's home and garage, and they have made it private and cozy. Cava was very helpful at check-in and we enjoyed talking with her. The Sleepy Shack was clean and had a full size refrigerator, a microwave, coffee maker, hot plate, and grill (no stove/oven). The location is about 1/2 hour from downtown Charleston, which was perfect for us. We visited Charleston twice, enjoyed touring the Charleston Tea Garden on Wadmalaw Island, and browsed at the Terrace Oaks Antique Mall. We liked Duke's BBQ buffet on Folly Road enough for a repeat visit. There are many things to keep you busy in this area.

Cozy stay in quaint shack behind main house and garage. Everything I needed for short stay while visiting my daughter in Charleston. Comfy bed, enjoyed nice outdoor space.
