At the top of must-see places around Charleston is a quaint area known as Shem Creek. Don’t be fooled by the word creek — Shem Creek is actually a broad, inviting estuary where active shrimpers, fun-loving boaters, and seafood-seeking locals congregate. This charming section of Mount Pleasant draws outdoor enthusiasts to its flanking boardwalks for a mecca of dining and outdoor activity. A favorite place with the locals to wind down.
- Shem Creek: 1 mile from the home
- Downtown Charleston: Less than a 10 minute drive
- Sullivan’s Island: Less than a 10 minute drive

While there are numerous restaurants/bars within walking distance of the home, including the Shem Creek waterfront area a mile away, the Charleston area is best explored with your own vehicle as public transportation is not a convenient option.
For when you want to leave your vehicle parked:
Rideshare apps: Uber/Lyft both operate in the area so a ride can be requested through the app.
Charleston Water Taxi: Provides transportation via boat between Mount Pleasant and Downtown Charleston.
MOUNT PLEASANT LOCATIONS:
- Charleston Harbor Resort Marina
- Patriots Point Maritime Center: Use if visiting the USS Yorktown or any of the sites there.
HOME
THIS IS AN OLDER HOME BUILT IN THE 1950'S THAT STILL HAS TRAITS ASSOCIATED WITH AN OLDER HOME. While there have been some small cosmetic renovations it still has old bones and guests may notice areas of uneven flooring, cracks in ceilings, cracks in paint, etc. If comparing prices in Charleston, we feel it is an affordable alternative to hotels and other homes in the area but anyone expecting luxury accommodations in a brand new house should look elsewhere.
DUPLEX
This home is a duplex with a larger main home in the front. The units have their own private entrances, parking, and outdoor patios and share no spaces.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
Your safety and comfort are our priority. In the unlikely event of a MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR CHARLESTON COUNTY during your stay, rest assured that both the Owner/Host and the Property Management Company WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR PAYMENTS for the dates of evacuation. Once refunded, neither party will have further liability regarding your reservation.
Please note that ONLY MANDATORY EVACUATIONS WILL QUALIFY FOR REFUNDS. No other travel disruptions due to weather, whether in South Carolina or other states, are eligible. For protection, consider travel insurance, especially in high-risk months like hurricane season. Airbnb's insurance or other options are recommended and we urge you to look into them prior to confirming your reservation.
INSECTS
As Charleston is situated in a warm, coastal climate it is possible to see insects inside or outside of the home at times. These include palmetto bugs, sand gnats, mosquitoes, ants, etc. Those who reside in the Lowcountry just accept this as part of living here but it may be unsettling for those from other areas. The home is treated regularly for pest control but this will not entirely eliminate insects from getting inside at times. Please do your best to not keep doors and windows open and not leave food or drinks out in the home as this will attract insects. FINDING AN INSECT IS NOT CAUSE FOR A REFUND.
DAMAGE DEPOSIT
A $500 damage deposit is automatically billed upon arrival. It will be refunded to your card after checkout if there are no claims made for damages.
HOUSE RULES
- No smoking
- No parties/events
