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)

Delightful! ❤️❤️
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.

Charming and immaculate!
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.

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!
