Palm Key - Cozy Coastal Charm

Please read the entire listing to ensure Palm Key is a good fit. This is a pet friendly, cozy and comfortable home 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, to include full kitchen, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, fully fenced back yard, and covered parking for 2 vehicles. The driveway will easily accommodate 4 vehicles & 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 2 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 or 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.

Palm Key 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 2).

Beautiful early 60's brick home, spotless, well decorated, and loaded with amenities. New pet friendly fenced yard, and main bath should also be new by the time you read this. Good location, with easy access to all of Charleston. We'll return next time in SC. Love y'all, Lolli-Pops

We really enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of this cottage. It is so nicely decorated with coastal charm, so warm and inviting.The kitchen was nicely stocked. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very understanding that we accidentally packed one of the TV remotes! (We shipped it back!) We will definitely choose this cottage again and highly recommend for a couple or small family.
