The property was just perfect. It served as a home base as we explored the Charleston area for five days. We enjoyed everything about the property and the hosta were welcoming and gracious.
We loved our stay at Kokomo for our 5 year wedding anniversary! Being 15 minutes away from historic downtown Charleston and under 15 minutes from Folly Beach made it the perfect combination for a memorable stay! The cottage was exactly as advertised and the hosts were always prompt on responding to any inquiries we had. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for a Charleston getaway!!
We came to Kokomo cottage for a birthday getaway and had a lovely time! Ken was extremely responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. Check in was super easy, we had tons of privacy and really enjoyed the pool area. Would absolutely book again!
Beautiful private couples getaway cottage!! We were so stoked with everything it had to offer!! We will without a doubt be back!!

Unique property in a location central to Downtown
Charleston and Folly Beach. The hosts were gracious, and the property was one of a kind. We felt as if we were in the Caribbean. The outdoor shower was really cool, too. We had everything we needed for a great stay!
We had such a great time at little Kokomo!! Ken and Christine were super friendly and very helpful for us underprepared tourists! Can’t thank them enough for their hospitality!!
Both my wife and I were very pleased with the property. The cottage was quaint and had plenty of privacy. The pool was clean and the outdoor shower was amazing! Definitely out favorite part of the entire plave. I would highly recommend this spot to any couple.
My mother and I went to Kokomo for a girls week. I wanted her to experience my favorite city, Charleston. We also got some beach time at Folly beach. It was great. The accommodations were great and the host were very welcoming.
We absolutely loved our 5-night stay at Kokomo Cottage. It was quiet, peaceful and exactly what we needed after a hectic tax season. Rather heading to Folley Beach, or downtown Charleston for a day of shopping, sightseeing or an incredible dinner, the Cottage is centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Owners ensure your privacy and were very helpful, as needed! We loved our vacation and didn't want to leave! Thanks Ken and Christine!!!
We stayed at Little Kokomo for our wedding weekend and loved every minute. Ken was a gracious host and we had everything we needed from the minute we arrived. Quiet neighborhood, great amenities and perfectly situated 15 mins from Folly Beach and Downtown Chas. We can’t wait to come back!
It was cute and clean. The outdoor Shower was fun. The hosts were great. It was too cold to use the pool but we were gone everyday anyway. We did miss having a kitchen sink.
Cute place in a backyard in a quiet neighborhood on James island. Nice outdoor space for reading and relaxing. Only a twenty minute drive to downtown Charleston. The only only thing we missed was a stove where we could cook meals but with so many great places to eat out, we didn't miss it that much!
Best time!! Our mother/daughter “girls getaway” was so very special at Ken & Christine’s little Kokomo Cottage. This little slice of heaven is perfection and is situated between Folly Beach and Charleston. Thank you for making our stay so informative and memorable.
The outdoor shower was wonderful and spacious!! We truly loved the location of the cottage, the amenities waiting for us, and the friendly hospitality.
We loved Ken and Christine. They’re so sweet and chill. They had all the beach stuff you could need !! It’s a little pricey for the amenities you’re getting though. It is indeed a shared pool. Not private. The bed was not as comfortable as I thought it would be. Overall we’re super chill about where we stay. Just a few things to consider.
