Nice accommodations ...whole cottage house overlooking a beautiful bay. Porch is ideal for hanging out in the evening. Best part is the ferry next door that takes you to downtown Charleston thus avoiding all the traffic(a10 min ride) Negative is the location in a parking lot. However,they have used tall bamboo to camouflage this fact. Nice pool...very friendly staff and concierge.

My wife and I stayed here for a week with our young grandchildren and their parents. The experience exceeded our expectations. The cottages were perfect for our needs. We really enjoyed the large screened porch, the quiet atmosphere, the wonderful view, and the constant sound of waves lapping the shore. The Cottages are walking distance to the Maritime Museum. Charleston is a 10 minute drive across the bridge, or also available by hourly water taxi. Our cottage was spotlessly clean, with all amenities we might need. We also enjoyed meeting Lisa, the General Manager who made sure everything was in good shape. We will definitely return.

Recently spent 4 nights for a girls getaway. Cottages were spacious and clean. Had everything needed. Views of the harbor from the porch were gorgeous! Staff was helpful, (letting us keep luggage there before our departure) and also with other inquiries. Even gave us a special treat for our birthday (s) celebration! Great location by water taxi and a few restaurants in walking distance. It was nice to be out of the city but only a quick boat ride away. Pool was decent to unwind and cool off in at the end of the day, but is only 4 ft. at the deepest level. Tables and chairs to sit on were nice. Only cons were there was no "beach" to sit or swim on. Strictly a view. Light snacks in reception room at main cottage is exactly that. Mini candy bars, peanuts, granola bars. No food of substance and definitely no breakfast when we were there. All very minor cons (unless you are looking for a beach). I would go back and absolutely recommend it for couples, friends or families!

If we could spend most of the time out on the porch and on the lawn, then this would be 5 stars. The Cottage is well decorated. albeit dated- this is fine. The issues arise when you further jump into the cleanliness. Upon arrival, there was dust, dead flies, and smudges of dirt or unknown stains throughout the unit. The bathroom light switches were particularly bad. I can live with primed and unpainted surfaces, but the real kicker is that the floors were filthy. Absolutely filthy. They turned our daughter's socks black after an hour of arrival. I went through 6 swiffer pads to no avail. We let management know the next morning after our arrival and hoped to come home to a unit that had been mopped after a day out in Charleston. Unfortunately, the floors are still filthy, the shower did not seemed to be cleaned from a previous guest and I am just lifting up heavy prayers on the cleanliness of everything else. We let management know of the situation and still they seemed to not be concerned. Hopefully, someone will take some initiative and put a good faith effort into cleaning this unit and providing a stay worth the money. UPDATE:After speaking to management, no one came to address issues. We still have dead flies, roach hatchlings and other debris spread throughout the filthy cottage. If you are concerned about relaxing in a sanitary space, please avoid. The fixtures are caked in dust, there seems to be a bit of mold growing in certain areas, the soap scum from previous guests still remains in the bathroom areas. We spoke with management again and they comped one night, which did not change the fact that we went three nights before any legitimate attempt at addressing any issue was made. They were surprisingly defensive and stated that floors were unsealed so they would stain your socks. We have unsealed floors at our personal home and are able to keep them clean. After being argumentative about the existence of filth, management hinted that we should let it go since she comped one night. All I would've appreciated was them sending someone to clean on the first day that we made them aware of the issues. if you are dead set on staying here, bring your own cleaning crew. The views are great and Charleston is too. I don't know if this is the treatment that most guests receive, but I know we stood out on one characteristic. I cannot imagine why sending a cleaning crew to address the issues was so difficult. On the penultimate day of our stay, they sent someone to "clean". The floors were a bit better, but all of the other issues remained. There also seemed to be some sort of dead animal under the fireplace section of the cottage. Proceed with caution. It was a wonderful location and I would love to stay there after an actual cleaning crew comes in.

We stayed at the Cottages for our intimate wedding ceremony and dinner and don’t regret a thing! The venue is gorgeous – you have views of both the marsh and harbor, and sometimes have a small beach when the tide is out! Lisa and her team did a phenomenal job prepping the lawn area to make sure our day was picture perfect. The cottages themselves are timelessly homey while still providing that elevated “hotel” experience (I would absolutely recommending stay here over a beach house if I were visiting Charleston!). Being able to stay at our wedding venue location made our entire wedding party more relaxed and turned the wedding from just a one-day-event into a vacation. Note – they have two separate cottage lawns, so this venue can absolutely support bigger weddings if necessary, but we opted for the smaller of the two! Speaking as a local - this is truly a unique venue that provides an ambiance that you cannot get anywhere else in Charleston, and we’re so happy we had our wedding here.
