Hip Island House was the perfect place for our girls’ weekend trip! It’s only 15 minutes from the main spots in Charleston with easy access to shopping and food options. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed. Would definitely consider staying here again if we are back in the area.

Cozy island home

We enjoyed this place so much as a family of four. Our family felt at home right away and it was perfectly located to stores, restaurants, shopping, and Folly beach. The Florida room was our favorite room for relaxing together. The property owners were great with communicating as well. We would definitely stay again!

This was the perfect house to end our two week tour of the southeast. Perfectly situated 12 minutes from the historic downtown and Folly beach, it allowed us to see and enjoy all the area has to offer. The house was clean & comfy and the kitchen very well equipped. As a person who likes to cook, I find most short term rentals to be lacking in kitchenware, making it difficult to cook for a family - that is not the case here, the owners even provide coffee! I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Charlestown.

Outstanding property in the heart of Old St Augustine

This property was the nicest Vacation Rental we have stayed in. Amenities were top notch, it was like staying at a high end model home. Beautiful, spacious rooms, couldn't have asked for a better location, all St Augustine attractions and restaurants were an easy walk. We have referred this property to several close friends and hope to stay there in the future. We gave this our highest rating!!

The place was very nice, clean and right where we wanted to be in Charleston. The only thing I would suggest is more mirrors around the place, we struggled all getting ready with a very small amount of mirrors. Thanks!

Fantastic Accommodations!

I traveled to Charleston for a quick waterski trip. The house was absolutely perfect and in a great location. It was so clean, comfortable, quiet, and cozy. It was the perfect size for my mother and I and everything we needed was provided. We loved the back TV area as we watched Netflix in the evenings. Great accommodations and great communication with David, an amazing host! I would stay here again if the dates are available for my next trip. Thank you David for providing a fantastic home for a wonderful trip.

Enjoyed our stay so much. Clean & comfortable, met all of our needs & convenient to everything. Rooms are spacious but closet space is limited. Beds & couches are comfortable Bathrooms are small but stylish & clean. Kitchen is very nice & equipped with everything you need. Yard is nice size for children to play & fenced. Grandchildren enjoyed cornhole & playing games provided. Books for your reading pleasure as well. Hammock to relax on while children play. Owners very nice & made themselves available if needed. Thankfully we didn't need anything. Will stay again if traveling with family & friends.

Charleston quiet

The Ms. and I enjoy quick trips to the Charleston area. Wanted to experience it from a local's point of view. This place sits in a quiet neighborhood not far from Folly beach. It has easy access to downtown. We love the clean, simple & functional set up. We especially loved the cool backyard grill, lighting & music. Great family room. Nice bedrooms. So, whether your a couple of couples or a family, hughly recommend this stay. We'll be back!!

In a nice area. Close to town close to beach. Near gas station, grocery store, restaurants, and Walmart. Area was quiet. Easy to find. It was to hot outside so we didn't use the back yard. We did grill twice. I will say the grill needs some help, but we made it work. We didn't use the back porch/ couch area. Was 114 like everyday n that room was super warm. Had plenty of pot and pan. Could use some new one. Even w spray everything stuck. Washer n dryer was nice and dish washer was nice. Had plenty of towels. Wish the bigger bed was in the room w the bathroom attached. We had to give that room to our daughter, while my husband and I took the bigger bed w no bathroom. We did take advantage of the puzzles and had one put together in 2 days! We would stay again and we would recommend. We had a blast. I use to visit Charleston as my grandparents lived in John's island. I did take a visit to the grave that I had not been to on 24 years. Was nice to showy kids places I remember as a kid.

Family Get Together

We enjoyed our stay! The back porch with comfy couch and TV was a great hangout for our teens. The backyard was wonderful, but unfortunately extreme heat and other weather conditions prevented us from utilizing it. It truly is a great space and would be such fun to barbecue and hang out in. David and Deidra made sure we knew we could reach out to them if we needed anything, Our travel departure time was awkward in relation to the check out time and I greatly appreciated a last minute accommodation that they made per my request that really helped us out. It's a relaxed type of space that we enjoyed and fit our needs well.
