Location is perfect!

Great stay. Location of this house is perfect. It is close to everything. The neighborhood is safe. This house is well stocked with everything a vacationer might need. The host is easy to contact if necessary. We really enjoyed our stay at St Michaels Retreat. We hope to stay there again next year.

Perfect location. Everything we needed.

Property was perfect for me and my family (two adults, three teens). Quiet residential neighborhood was convenient to Folly Beach, downtown Charleston, and everything else we could have wanted. Far enough from the beach to avoid the busyness of the tourist crowds. The house was also equipped with everything we needed in terms of cookware and cooking supplies (olive oil, spices, etc) which really cut down on how much needless shopping we needed to do. In our downtime it was a great, peaceful neighborhood to just take a walk through.

Absolutely perfect

I honestly can not say enough good things about this home. It was the perfect location to Everything. The neighborhood is quite but perfect for walks in the evening. The house itself is a sweet, simple house perfect for what we needed. My Dog loved the fenced in yard to run and play. The 17 year old loved the sunroof and used it as her room while we were there. It has a come home feeling. We had no issues so we did not have to call the owner, but the day we left I called to let her know how much we enjoyed our stay and she was very nice. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Trish Bender - owner/manager

I moved to Charleston in 1991 and fell in love with James Island immediately. It has that perfect combination of small town atmosphere and large city amenities. St Michael's Place was my quiet home and garden retreat for 12 years until I built another home around the corner. You just can't beat living so close to everything Charleston without feeling like a tourist.
