About this house rental

Come relax at our charming, newly renovated home built in the 1930's. This peaceful, well-designed retreat under live oaks has all the charm of the old but with all the upgraded, desirable features: large kitchen, open floor plan, brand new hardwood floors through out, and large master suite. A spacious deck featuring a large live oak providing a canopy over the serene half acre lot. Walking distance to many restaurants/bars, movie theatre, and minutes from downtown Charleston and Folly Beach.
The space
A large open kitchen provides the space for many to enjoy the fun of cooking together. For those that prefer to watch the cooks, there's a large bar that looks over the kitchen. The home has an open floor plan so just behind the bar is the dining room offering a variety of spots for all to eat together. Off the dining room is large living room offering two couches and a recliner. There is also a spot next to the large bay window that makes the perfect reading nook! We have three queen sized bedrooms with dressers and ample closet space. The master suite features a tray ceiling and a large TV on the wall. The master bath offers a walk in closet, a large vanity with two sinks and an alcove. There is a half bath just off the hallway next to the laundry room.
Guest access
The property sits on a large half acre lot. In the back of the property is our sister Airbnb: Coastal Cottage. It features a quaint one bedroom bungalow. Guests of Coastal Cottage are at the back of the property and park directly in front of the home. Guests at Live Oak Retreat have ample parking space along the left side of the driveaway and along the side of the deck and carport. The right side of the driveway needs to remain open so Coastal Cottage guests can access their home. We have never had any issues with parking but want to make sure all guests are aware of how to share the parking space.

Three bedrooms with three baths is a rare find. Host is very responsive.

This was a great place to stay with a lot of charm. The layout was perfect for a group that included early risers and late sleepers. The location was great for downtown or Folly Beach
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Beautiful area. Yard was really really long when we went (I think they have it up for sale now) and there was a large bee nest on front porch that I found out about but other than that house was gorgeous and close to downtown!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The property is up for sale and it was clear that certain things were being left unattended. The outside was not usable, neither the front porch nor back deck is being maintained or cleaned. Several things on the inside were sloppy. Overall it was fairly clean.
