We loved our stay at this priory on James Island. The photos of the property do not do it justice, and we look forward to visiting again! The dock and backyard area were perfect for our family to relax after busy days in Charleston. Easy drive into the city and to Folly Beach. The house was clean, had everything and more to accommodate visitors, and communication with the host was quick and informative. Loved it!!

The accommodations were great and the exterior was amazing with the view, dock and fire pit. Comfortable beds and very clean. Only challenge was not receiving check in instructions timely - had to reach out multiple times to get a code. After that our stay was great and we would definitely come back.

Spring break for the aged

The place was the right size for two couples spending several days in Charleston. The view each morning was lovely and the place was relaxing to come back to each evening. Parking is very easy & the kitchen and laundry room had all we needed. Beds very comfortable and everything is very clean & new.

Perfect Relaxation Spot

The place was very clean and it smelled clean as soon as you walked into the place. The place was very well stocked with everything that you need for your stay. The view of the waterfront was gorgeous and our Shih Tzu loved sitting on the porch and looking at the scenery as much as we did. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay with great views

This place was clean & comfortable! It was just a short 10-15 minute drive into downtown Charleston. Beautiful outdoor space with abundant bature. We saw dolphins playing and beautiful birds (and it rained most of the weekend)! Would definitely stay again just to witness the sunrise and subsets here.

We absolutely loved our stay! The setting was beautiful and serene. Every detail was thought of in the unit; there wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. We saw pelicans, herons, dolphins, squirrels, a super friendly cat and a majestic eagle during our stay. The pier was the perfect spot for relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic waterfront stay

This condo was amazing! Great location, lots of grocery stores, restaurants and alot more within a few minutes drive. A short easy drive to Folly Beach. Easy drive to downtown. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed, plenty of room for 4 adults. The dock was awesome, lots of wildlife and even caught some crabs. You get a nice breeze off the water which makes the deck nice in the evenings. We had some questions at check in and Warren was quick to answer and help us out. We will definitely be back to stay.
