Easy access to downtown shops and restaurants. However, I wish I had known about the freight train traveling through town all hours of the night blowing the horn and shaking the room.

walking distance to historic downtown Summerville
Beautiful Historic Southern home in excellent location~1 block from Main Street, a few blocks to Azalea park and conveniently close to major roads for visiting Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms beach, Sullivan's Island beach, and Charleston. Warm, kind and welcoming hosts who are readily available to assist with any and all guest questions. Summerville is a walkable town with a great variety of restaurants and shops to entertain and welcome guests! Wonderful little getaway!

Sweet Tea
My Fiancé and I have stayed at the Sweet Tea twice so far, and the next time we venture back to the Summerville/Charleston area we will more than like do our best to book here a third time! The location is so perfect to us, it is in its own cute little town where there is lots of life and food if that is what you’re looking for, but once you shut the door to your suite it is beyond peaceful! We love the convenience of having a full kitchen in the suite bc we often use one of our vacation days to just disconnect and relax! Over all the host of Sweet tea, the cleanliness, and the vibe are 10/10! We would highly recommend!

Baby Shower in Summerville
This property was charming and quaint. We loved the historical feel with all the modern amenities! The decorating of Sweet Tea is thought out and homey! What you see in the listing is honest and true. Really it is even better. Parking is right outside the door to your suite! We loved that we could walk to shops, restaurants, and church. We always felt safe and at home. Lauren was great with information on check-in. Summerville is a safe and friendly area that is also close enough to Charleston. This was my husband's first VRBO experience. He is sold!

Our Go-To Suite for Summerville
My wife and I have been to Summerville twice now and enjoy booking this place when we visit. It is cozy and has a nice large king bed, as well as easy access to the downtown area. The owners were very kind and generous for our anniversary trip, and we appreciate their hospitality!

We had a very enjoyable stay ! I was thinking from the listing that it was a whole house but it is actually only the backside of the house that is the suite . It was very nice and felt like we had a whole house! It was very comfortable and relaxed! Definitely hope to come back again some day soon !

Amazing stay!
The property was great! Such a cute little place and just around the corner from an awesome restaurant called the Crystal House, or something like that. I had mentioned to her that we were celebrating our anniversary and she had left a bottle of wine and card congratulationing us. It was so sweet and thoughtful! We will DEFINITELY stay again the next time we go down there.

Very clean and beautiful property! I used to live in that area for just about 7 years and never knew what the inside looked like, and I am so happy I found out. Great location that is so close to downtown or if you’re going elsewhere, easy to get to the highway.

Peaceful place outside of Charleston
This place looked like a good spot to stay already from the listing but when we walked in, it really just had so much more charm to it. We loved the area, the location and the interior feel to it. The hammock was absolutely my favorite part, just used it to relax and it was just what I needed. We came to celebrate her birthday in Charleston and found ourselves enjoying Summerville just as much. Everything was great and we would definitely come back again.

You will not be disappointed by the charm and cleanliness of the Sweet Tea Suite! Lauren is a fantastic host who is responsive to any need on sight. Laundry facilities are on hand and a full kitchen should you want to use it. We love to visit Summerville and walk downtown to the Saturday market or window shop. A great feel for a weekend getaway.
