Details that Matter - Layout

The primary bedroom is located on one side of the cottage, while the second bedroom is positioned on the opposite side, creating a comfortable separation between parents and children. This layout makes it easy for younger guests to maintain their normal bedtime routines without everyone having to call it a night at the same time.

After the kids are asleep, parents can unwind in the spacious living room, enjoy a quiet conversation on the screened harborfront porch, watch a movie, or simply relax and take in the Charleston Harbor views. Everyone gets the space they need to recharge while still enjoying quality time together throughout the day.

The split floor plan is also ideal for multi-generational travel. Grandparents, parents, and children can share a cottage while enjoying privacy and comfort that simply isn't available in most hotel accommodations. With two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a spacious living area, families can spread out and settle in for a truly relaxing Charleston getaway.

Whether you're traveling with toddlers who need an early bedtime, teenagers who appreciate their own space, or grandparents joining the adventure, our cottages offer the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy—helping every member of the family create special memories to be treasured.
