“I truly appreciate finding a home to rent that our dog can come without carpet and a wonderful fenced in back yard. If this house is available when we go to Charleston, this is where we’ll be!”

Samantha · Park Circle Charmer · Airbnb · July 2024

“We’ve stayed in a lot of dog friendly air b& b’s but this was definitely the nicest & cleanest. The screened porch was great for coffee with a dog door for the pup to come and go to the cute little completely fenced yard.”

“House and yard were perfect for our Thanksgiving stay in Charleston. The best playground within walking distance, lots of restaurant choices, easy drive to downtown Charleston and the beach. The yard was great for our 3 pups.”

“Both beds are very comfortable and each bedroom has its own full en suite bathroom which isn’t common and was so appreciated.”
