General Overview

Spacious 4 bedroom/2.5 bath house in the Charleston suburbs perfect for family travel! 

Charleston is consistently voted one of the top travel destinations in the United States. The city is a gorgeous representation of southern culture, impressive architecture, and some of the best food in the region. From the history buff to the beach bum, there's something for everyone in this historic destination. 

Our home is centrally located 20 minutes from the Charleston International Airport, 30 minutes from the Downtown Charleston Peninsula, and within one hour of more than 5 local beaches. Our neighborhood is nestled in a cute, safe suburb of Charleston with easy driving access to many grocery stores and restaurants. There is also a network of 20+ miles of hike and bike trails accessible from our back yard with several playgrounds in walking/biking distance. 

The house can comfortably sleep 8 and is furnished with one king bed (in the downstairs primary bedroom), one double bed (in the office), a twin bed with a pull out trundle (toddler room), and two more twin beds (in our boys' room). Larger parties that are open to couch and air mattress travel are welcome! We also have a large, oversized backyard with an inground pool and lots of fun backyard toys including a ninja course, mud kitchen, and zip line. 

I promise there's nothing your kids can destroy that my kids haven't already tested! 

**Note--Charleston is not a public transportation-friendly city, so we're open to including use of our car in exchanges, if needed.

The Space

-One downstairs master bedroom with ensuite bath, King size bed
-One upstairs office/guest bedroom with work area and double bed 
-One upstairs bedroom with twin bed and additional twin trundle bed (our little girl's room)
-One upstairs bedroom with two twin beds (this is our boys' room)
-Livingroom 
-Den
-Dining room
-Patio and deck 
-Large fenced yard
-Inground pool

Guest Access

All entrances to the home require navigating a few steps, either up the front porch or through the garage. There is one downstairs bedroom, and one downstairs shower with a separate bath.

Our pool has a net-fence enclosure but it is easily penetrable and should never be trusted as a primary safety defense for non swimmers. All children should always be supervised while outside.

Notes

We do have one indoor/outdoor cat. We're flexible on how to handle his care during exchanges, but he's a pretty shy guy so  even pet-friendly guests would likely see him very little!

Feedback

Ambers Home was big and beautiful and welcoming. It had everything we needed and more. Amber and her family made sure we had the best possible holidays. We are very grateful we had such an awesome first exchange experience.

The Cook family are the perfect hosts. They are generous, thoughtful, welcoming and made us feel right at home. They have a beautiful yard, luxury pool, and everything needed for a perfect getaway! Their neighbors are friendly too, we loved meeting them! We had an excellent vacation in their spacious home which made it truly fabulous— we had to pry our girls away just to explore! We hit two unforgettable milestones this week: learning to ride a bike and learning how to swim! Priceless! We loved the Angel Oak, Charleston Aqua Park, the beach, and Ye Old Fashioned Ice Cream where our family ordered the pig trough! The Cooks are an extraordinary family who are great communicators, thorough, and organized. If you get the chance to connect, I recommend with every ounce of my being. Don’t hesitate for a moment! Do it! You won’t regret it!

We were SO happy to have Amber's place as our first non-sim exchange!! Amber's family is so sweet & laid back, they really made us feel welcome and like it was our home for the weekend. Nothing was stressful, from preparing, getting there and using anything in the home. We had a fabulous time! Amber was such a great communicator and answered my 100 silly questions within minutes which was super helpful. She left us extensive recommendations and instructions. The grownups loved hanging around the bon fire and exploring downtown Charleston while the littles enjoyed their 'polar plunge' in the pool well before summer (crazy kids) and the tweens' favorite was riding the tandem bike - what a treat for the whole family! We cannot wait to have them at our place soon so we can spoil them right back & welcome them to our space - how fun to find PEOPLE JUST LIKE US!

Our stay at the Cooks' house was fantastic and better than we could have imagined! Ben and Amber are so easy and fun to communicate with and we felt like we had known them for years before we even started our exchange. The house was so clean and spacious, and they put effort into making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Their home is perfect for families, and Ben and Amber graciously allowed my mom, sister, and niece to stay with us for part of our exchange. The Cook children were so kind to share their toys, games, and books with our kids. We swam as often as we could in their clean and refreshing swimming pool! The workspace they had was perfect for remote work. The location of their home was central to so many things! We saw many historical sites, visited state parks, beaches, and museums, and took weekend trips to nearby states. I was a little hesitant about the fact that they have a cat because I'm not really a pet person but Amber assured me he was low maintenance. She was absolutely right! He stayed outside the whole time and we filled his food and water bowls every few days. He is somewhat shy, so we rarely saw him. I honestly have nothing negative to say about our stay in the Cooks' home. They are gracious, kind, and good people and our exchange with them couldn't have been better. When it was time to go, my six year old told me he wasn't happy we had stayed three weeks. I was really surprised, then he said, "We should have stayed for five weeks." I agree.

Amber

We're a fun-loving family of 5 from the suburbs of Charleston, South Carolina. My husband Ben and I have two sweet little boys (ages 10 and 8) and a spitfire little girl (4 years). Our family loves being outdoors, exploring new places, and adventures of all kinds. I'm a part-time flight attendant and Ben works remotely (which gives us flexible travel options), however our boys are in public school, so we're frequently limited to school holidays for long term travel.
