Good to know

We own the entire property and have both sides of our duplex available on AirBnB (the other side is Child-Friendly Retreat Near Charleston, 2). Our home is approximately 1650 sq ft. Bright living room has stylish & comfortable furniture, and lots of good books, board games, and movies to enjoy. Smart TV, Blu-Ray/DVD player, Roku, & digital antenna. Well appointed kitchen should you like to enjoy some baking or cooking while you're here! Due to allergies/asthma, our home is pet, smoke, and carpet free.

If you aren't bringing children, don't worry--baby equipment is easily tucked away. Private fenced back yard has lots of room for little ones to run around and explore. The backyard also has a covered patio with outdoor seating and a propane grill. Property is well lit from the street to the backyard by automatic exterior and security lighting. Off street parking is available for 2 to 3 cars, and additional cars must park on the street. Neighborhood has a tennis court & playground, & our house is located 2 blocks from a fire station in the event of an emergency.

Other Details to Note

Please note that an active train track does run directly behind our house, but trains are normally not allowed to blow their whistles, so it is just the rail noise. If you are a light sleeper, we suggest you bring ear plugs or a white noise machine. It does not disturb us or our children.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

One of our favorite things to do is go on a walk or ride bikes through our beautiful neighborhood, which also has a playground, a reservoir front park, and tennis courts, all short walks away. Our neighborhood is regularly monitored by police (watch those stop signs!) and grocery stores, restaurants, and shops are right outside the neighborhood.

This was our second time staying at Shannon’s Airbnb. Highly recommend especially when traveling with children. They had everything we needed and more for our little one. Will definitely stay again in the future.

The home was exactly what we needed for the weekend of my mom's memorial service. My daughter and her young girls stayed with me and loved all the kid friendly amenities. My 4 year old granddaughter wanted to sleep in the trampoline! The kitchen was perfect for cooking for 6 people - even had a large crockpot! Very comfortable beds too! I would recommend Shannon's place to anyone especially families with young children. I hope to stay again next time I'm in Charleston and need a larger air bnb.

We had an amazing stay at Shannon's Airbnb! From the start, Shannon was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to deal with, making the booking process smooth and easy. The house was spotless and well-maintained, providing a very comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and quiet. It was also very child-friendly, which made it extra special. Our granddaughter had a blast with all the toys available and loved staying with us for the night. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to return in the future!

Fantastic stay! The highlight of this place for me was how wonderfully it was set up for kids to enjoy. My kids loved the bunk room and all the toys available. They loved jumping on the trampoline and swinging on the tree swing. The beds were very comfortable. Great space. 10/10 recommend I hope to stay again someday
