Palm Key - A Cozy Coastal Cottage

This is a pet friendly, cozy and comfortable cottage on James Island that is just 5 miles from historic and scenic downtown Charleston and only 6 miles to Folly Beach. Spend time in this wonderful city in a place that feels like home. The cottage includes full kitchen, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, fully fenced back yard, and covered parking w/ a beautiful concrete coating. Driveway will easily accommodate 4 vehicles or there is room to park a boat trailer should you decide to bring your own boat. We know your pets are a part of your family, they are welcome at Palm Key! There is a $85 per pet fee(max 3 pets).

This is an older home renovated to include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tankless water heater, crown moldings, and hardwood floors. The kitchen and dining room area is open to the living room as well. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms and is filled with coastal charm. Smart TVs with Netflix and local channels are provided in the living room and both bedrooms. You can also log into other streaming services with your own account if you'd like.
The house is thoughtfully prepared for your arrival with flatware, knives, cookware, coffee maker (pot/ pod) & toaster all made by Cuisinart and were all purchased new exclusively for this vacation home. Tea, coffee, creamer, sugar are all provided as well as a waffle iron, towels, bed linens, hair dryer, iron, and ironing board. We recycle! You will find a blue recycle bin in the laundry room between the washer and dryer.

The value of this home is incredible and the location is amazing. If you would like to enjoy a day on the beach and a night on the town with a group of friends or family, then this is the house for you!! Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Full kitchen, laundry, living room, two bed rooms, full bath off of the hall and a half bath in the master, front yard and backyard that is full fenced with a privacy fence. There is a gas fire pit surrounded by 4 Adirondack chairs as well.

This is a duplex style cottage with an attached Mother-In-Law suite where we reside. While we live on the property, there are no shared spaces with us. The home is yours to enjoy privately, including full use of the backyard. If you would like to meet up with us or have us walk you through the property, just shoot us a message!

We highly recommend the purchase of a travel insurance policy due to the fact that our area is in a hurricane prone region of the country. As a reminder we are pet friendly!($85 per pet, max of 3)

Perfect getaway
The place is the most stocked rental we’ve had. They thought of everything including beach gear, crib, high chair, dog treats, etc. it was quite impressive. Owners were super nice and responsive. 15min to folly beach and 20 minutes to Charleston. Quiet neighborhood too

So Nice, and close to everything!
We absolutly loved our stay at Palm Key! This was our first time visiting the Charleston area, and we were very grateful for a quiet place to rest after long days exploring the city! The house was so clean and comfortable - and we felt so welcomed by our hosts! The backyard was also a huge plus, since we brought our dog with us. Would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you!!

Palm Key- A Home Away From Home
Palm Key had everything our family could have asked for and some. I have never stayed in a VRBO that was so welcoming, homey, and cozy! It literally has it all. To top it off it’s in the best location on James Island anyone could ask for. The neighborhood is safe and it’s located about 8-10 minutes from the Folly Beach or Downtown Charleston. It had everything you could ask for from baby gear, beach essentials, fully stocked to the MAX kitchen. Kim and Lee were incredibly responsive and even helped us receive a package during our stay there. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone and plan on booking another trip here soon!

We couldn’t have been any happier or more comfortable! We felt right at home as the property had all the amenities and we felt completely safe - great neighborhood. Location was drivable with easy access to and from wherever our daily destinations took us. Highly recommend and would return anytime without any thought of staying elsewhere.

A friend & I decided to seek a place to relax and enjoy evenings away from downtown Charleston after long days of sightseeing and this home was perfect! Well stocked, very clean and organized, so we will be sure to stay again in the future! Safe, family oriented neighborhood with Harris Teeter & many restaurants nearby.

Perfect spot between Folly and Charleston
Palm Key was a perfect home for my husband and I with our dog for 2 weeks. It is in a nice residential neighborhood with not a lot going on be we did enjoy neighborhood walks and backyard playtime with the dog. What's great about the location is the proximity to both Folly Beach and Charleston which we thoroughly enjoyed. The house itself is immaculate and provisioned with anything you would hope for - from beach chairs and kitchen spices to laundry detergent and charging cables. Lee and Kim were responsive and flexible. We hope to be able to visit this area again and will definitely stay at Palm Key when we do

Great Home with Southern Charm
While my wife and I were not able to join our daughter and son-in-law at Palm Key in Charleston this year, we were able to gift our stay at Palm Key to them for an amazing stay in one of the best places in the South. Our family called and texted daily with all the incredible visits they made to all the sights Charleston had to offer. They ate at incredible restaurants moments from the house and enjoyed evenings on the beach located 10 minutes away. Kim and Lee made our family's stay very special with a well prepared and nicely equipped home, which made experimenting with a few recipes easy to do. My wife and I hope to enjoy a stay at Palm Key again in 2025, as I know my daughter and son-in-law will do too.

Great location on James Island
We came to James Island to visit our son, his wife and 4 grandchildren. We were very busy during the day with the family but my husband and I needed something close by to retreat to in the evenings and overnight. This property was perfect for our needs. Very clean, well appointed and in a quiet residential neighborhood. Couldn’t of asked for a better setup and location.

We had a great experience here. The place was cozy and comfortable. It was close enough to Folly Beach (around a 7-minute drive) and downtown Charleston (a 20-minute drive) that we could enjoy all the sites! And wasn't in a crowded area. Nice backyard with a firepit and all the amenities you could ask for from home! We will definitely come back here for our next Charleston visit.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Lee and Kim go above and beyond for their guest and it shows in every special little detail. They are the true definition of southern hospitality and their home is stunning and stocked with every essential you could possibly think of. Will definitely book again, as Charleston area is a frequent home away from home to my family and I.
