Cottage End is a roomy, family vacation house I built for my children and their children. As a lifelong wood worker, I've filled the house with cherry and maple cabinets and ash floors with cherry accents, and exposed rafters under the cypress ceilings.

We're located on a narrow dirt road that has Clark Sound for a backdrop. We're on a dead end street so we have very little and very slow traffic. Most of the dirt (sand) street is single wide so neighbors readily pull over to let each other pass.

Cottage End has three bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom and a half bath in the laundry room downstairs.. The house sleeps 8 people comfortably. The master bedroom has a king bed. The master is downstairs and has an "open" shower with no curb or curtain. While it was not designed and built for a "handicap shower" it goes a long way in qualifying as Handicapped. There is also a long (6 foot) soaking tub. The two upstairs bedrooms each have a queen bed and a twin bed. One of the upstairs bedrooms also has a full size baby bed. One of my favorite things at Cottage End is the kitchen. With cherry cabinets all around, the large island contains the gas range and the island has seating on two sides. Cooking shrimp and grits while my family and friends around the island enjoy a glass of wine and conversation is my idea of a good time. We also have a screened porch in the rear. WIFI is available.

We're located on James Island and it's 12 minutes to Folly Beach and 14 minutes to downtown Charleston. Also, we're less than 10 minutes from James Island County Park where there are walking/biking trails, a climbing wall, dog park, and water park that the kids love. Also, there is a free water spray park for the little kids.

In considering renting my home, please be aware that I do not allow any parties, receptions, or other events that brings in multiple people and vehicles. My parking is limited and the neighbors do not appreciate large, loud events on this quiet street. I also do not allow pets

In the rear of my house is a one bedroom apartment that is rented to a group of friends from my home city, Greenville, SC. So, you might see a car parked on the right side of the house. There are several people in this group and sometimes they take advantage of their scheduled time and sometimes they don't. If you see one and have some questions about activities and places to eat, say hello. They'll be glad to answer your questions.
