10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We would give it a 5* plus. The space and amenities were well thought out. Not one thing missing that we needed. The Garden Cottage was cozy and lovely as was the beautiful backyard garden. I was impressed with the details and loving care the hosts have shown. Fresh delicious home baked chocolate chip cookies, wine and a lovely note welcomed us. We would choose this place again if in the area and highly, without hesitation, recommend this cottage. It is indeed a retreat.

Margie and Sydney were amazing hosts! The listing was exactly as advertised, if not better. Check-in and check out were very smooth thanks to the guidebook provided in the house and emails prior to arriving. We will definitely be back and would recommend this rental.

The Backyard Cottage met all of our expectations and more! It’s a peaceful and private getaway offering a clean, quaint, and most comfortable stay in Charleston! The location is close to shopping, the Greenway for walking, and other tourist attractions. Everything we needed for a lovely vacation was included with a few extras to further our enjoyment. Our hosts were very attentive and available if needed. We highly recommend this hidden gem!
