This is our home and we are happy to share it with you! The Awaysis is a custom, elevated cottage situated on 2 acres with expansive tidal creek views. The pictures don't tell the whole story, but we hope they garner your attention enough to give staying here a chance! The huge back yard and porch is great for entertaining or kicking back to watch the infamous cotton candy skies at sunset. Kayaks on site. Walking distance to fishing/crabbing.

Good to know

This is not a hotel or resort. This is our home and we would like our guests to appreciate and be respectful of that. We are allotted a certain number of nights per year with a permit and we try to offset our expenses for improving the property with the money earned from offering our home to guests. We want our guests to get comfortable here and feel like they are a part of the property and hope it can become a tradition for your family to come back. We do not want to lose the personal connection as it happens in a hotel or other commercially managed properties. While we do try to stream line some things like self check-in/out, providing shampoo, conditioner, and body wash... it isn't free and it doesn't mean you can fill up your personal stash before you leave. Same for the coffee and other food items... Please feel free to use/consume whatever you need while you are here, but don't forget... there is a grocery store less than 10 minutes away, in every direction. And if there is something you feel we should have or offer, shoot us a message or leave us a note so we can get it for the next time. We will always be close by and want nothing more than for you to enjoy your stay! We designed/furnished our home so 2 small families with young children could vacation together. Keep in mind, the floating loft beds are small and not meant for adults. They are intended for children under 12/150lbs. Also, the property is dog friendly! Although it is deep cleaned after every stay and prior to your arrival, you may find indicators such as fur, scents, or things of that nature. We ask that guests get prior approval for pets and they must be crated or enclosed in the laundry area if not in the presence of their handler. Do not forget to include them in the booking. At $100/stay, our pet fee is one of the lowest around and truly goes towards cleaning and wear and tear costs. Parking: You will have parking for 4 - 6 cars AND we can accommodate a trailer/boat/rv/ w/ house battery charging. (w/prior notice & approval) NO WEDDINGS, PARTIES, OR EVENTS ON PROPERTY WITHOUT PRIOR CONSENT.

Guest Access

Each guest will receive a unique access code to the front door. You can use an app or type the code in during the duration of your stay. Our current check in and out times are at least an hour earlier/later than the majority of stays. If you would like to modify these times, there may be a fee. The entire property is accessible, but the garage really shouldn't be accessed for reasons other than parking(at your own risk). If there's something you need that may be in there, please shoot us a text and we'll point you in the right direction. We prefer not to lock any closets or cabinets, but we may have to in order to ensure the cleaning crew has clean linens and other items for turnover after your departure. We will play it by ear and ensure you have the storage you need!

Great house with an open floor plan that looked out on a beautiful backyard and creek. The covered porch in the rear of the house was just a great feature: large, relaxing and private. The king bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. The master bath was well-designed with a beautiful glass shower. Brandon was proactive in checking in on us via messaging and offered some suggestions for the local area which help us avoid peak traffic congestion coming in and out of Charleston. He introduced us to nearby Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island. Such a beautiful golf resort community on the ocean which was convenient to access and avoided the heavy traffic congestion from Charleston. Kiawah and Seabrook offered good restaurants, shopping, and a few other activities. Well worth the drive over. We really enjoyed alternating travel between Kiawah and Charleston for day trips. We look forward to a return visit to Brandon's home in the future. He was a great host.

This home was a perfect haven for us as we escaped Helene. The setting is very peaceful. We spent much time at the local county parks. Watching the dolphins strand feed at Beachwalker park was awesome. We feel lucky that we found such a peaceful home that allowed us to emotionally prepare for our return home. THANK YOU!
