The Space: Truly a Quiet Private Retreat
While Charleston is undeniably beautiful, it is still a busy city. Our peaceful and serene house offers three key features for a quiet stay:
1. Tranquil Location: Tucked back from the street, our house ensures a quiet
atmosphere without the noise of passing cars, unlike most other properties which are street front.
2. Exclusive Privacy: Many guest accommodations in Charleston are large houses split into condos, but The Retreat is a standalone house exclusively for you. Say goodbye to shared walls or neighboring parties, and enjoy uninterrupted privacy.
3. Private Fenced Backyard: Unwind with your loved ones in our secluded, fenced backyard. There’s not many similar back yards in the area, providing a unique space where you can relax with your family and friends.

Driving
At The Retreat, accessing I-26 is a breeze with just two traffic lights between our house and the highway. Other properties located further south on the peninsula can take up to 15 minutes just to get out of downtown.

Once settled in, you'll find that you won’t need your car unless you plan to go to the beach, which is just a 20-minute drive away.
We provide one off-street parking spot. Due to the secluded location of the house, oversized vehicles (e.g. a Ford Expedition) will find the driveway tight and should park on the street.
