The Sleepy Shack - Private, Cozy Cottage for your next getaway!

Come enjoy some peace and quiet in this private, simple (yet comfortable) cottage located under the Oak trees of Johns Island. 20 minutes from Downtown Charleston, Folly Beach, and Kiawah. Enjoy a fire in the fire pit, heat up the grill for some fresh seafood or take a hot shower under the stars! (Just to be clear, there is also a very nice interior shower!)

The Sleepy Shack is private, comfortable, and clean! The studio apartment is ideal for two tenants. Three can easily fit in this 500 square foot cabin if one person doesn't mind the sleeping on the couch.

The rear porch is private and guests have their own separate outdoor area with a fire bowl and grill.

The Sleepy Shack is within walking distance to Low Tide Brewery and a very close drive to other various dining options. Catch a movie at the Terrace Theater or enjoy some live music at The Pour House (within 5 miles).

Come explore Johns Island - The Vineyard, Sweet Water Distillery, the Tea Plantation, Angel Oak, the Johns Island Farmers Market. Johns Island is also ideal for those who wish to enjoy distance biking through the oak trees, rivers and marshes of this rural (yet convenient) area. The wide, quiet beaches of Kiawah are just a scenic drive down the way.

Or hop over to neighboring James Island to enjoy the fun and sun of Folly Beach. Check out the fishing and surfing at the pier, or relax in the tidal pools, or shop and dine on the main drag. Grab some fresh Seafood from Crosby's or Huff's and bring it back to cook on the grill!

James Island County park is about 7 minutes from the cottage and offers scenic bike and walking trails as well as climbing wall and other great opportunities for fun with the kids!

20 minutes from the heart of Downtown Charleston! Knock the sand off your flip flops and head downtown where you can enjoy extensive history, culture and (definitely) food options! A beautiful place the visit - there are Harbor Tours, Carriage Rides, Ghost Tours, The Market, Water Front Park, Marion Square and an unending assortment of dining options to explore!

Rented for a friend visiting from St Louis
My visiting friend stayed for 6 days and all indications were that he thouroughly enjoyed his stay. Very peaceful setting and absolutely convenient for anyone wanting to travel about the Charleston area as well as convenient to where we were working together in Ravenel. Would rent again and recommend to anyone.

Peaceful and relaxing spot
It's exactly like in the honest description - no more, no less, - with a great low country vibe. I'd definitely stay again. Although directions are clear and accurate, I still drove by the entrance a few times in the dark...

Excellent Shack
What a great place to stay! Cava was amazing and made our stay even better (even let us play with the dog!) The location was great for seeing many different sites in the area, from downtown Charleston to the beaches and plantations. Definitely a must stay location!

1st time ever VRBO stay
Cava, the owner, welcomed us and gave us a tour of the cozy little cottage. We so enjoyed the history behind it! (To find out more about the history, please consider this for your next stay @ VRBO) She then left us with assurance that should we need anything, to just text her. This was our first such place to stay and we are looking forward to another such stay in the future!

Lovely little bungalow
It's in a quiet neighborhood and is secluded at the back of the owner's property. The furnishings are comfortable and the coffee maker was a life saver for us! I really loved the outdoor space with the fire pit. We were there over Thanksgiving so we enjoyed seeing our family during the day and being able to escape to our own space for the night. 10 thumbs up!

Quick Getaway
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Sleepy Shack. Cava, the host came out to greet us as we drove up and showed us inside. She recommended things to see and do in the area and places to eat. While we were away she texted that she had left extra kindling to build a fire in the fire pit. The shack was nice and cozy with a great outdoor area. We did enjoy a nice fire in the firepit! It was a great get away and we hope to visit again when in the area!!
