Summary:

The Charlestonian's second-floor suite sleeps 2 guests in the heart of historic downtown Charleston, three blocks from King Street and surrounded by the most celebrated dining in the South. This 1851 antebellum estate offers a private porch overlooking Cannon Street, an open-plan kitchen and living room, high-speed WiFi, in-unit washer/dryer, and parking for one vehicle. Incredible for walking to CofC, MUSC, and world-renowned shopping and dining on King St. and surrounding historic downtown.



The Space:

The suite occupies the second floor of The Charlestonian, a fully restored 1851 antebellum estate in Cannonborough, one of downtown Charleston's most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods. The queen bedroom, bathroom, an open-plan kitchen and living room, private porch, in-unit laundry, dedicated workspace, and complimentary on-premises parking make this one of the most complete stays available on the Charleston peninsula. The second-floor layout gives you an elevated view over Cannon Street from a private porch, separation between the social living space and the private bedrooms, and one-of-a-kind architectural character that no hotel in Charleston can replicate.

*Please note this rental is located on the second floor and only accessible by spiral staircase. Absolutely no parties or late-night noise will be tolerated.

Operating Permit: OP2026-07476



Guest Access:

This suite has access to complimentary parking for one vehicle, the large front porch with exclusive, dedicated seating, a private rear porch, and patio with Green Egg charcoal grill with charcoal. The suite is accessed via a beautiful original spiral staircase, a signature architectural detail of The Charlestonian's 1851 construction. Please note the second-floor location is not suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations or those traveling with very young children, our Kiawah Suite on the ground floor of the house is perfect for those guests.



The Neighborhood:

Visitors can enjoy convenient dining options directly next door at Southbound and Ladles Soup across from the apartment. The home is set in Cannonborough, an inviting downtown area blending historic and residential homes. It’s steps away from the College of Charleston, as well as Charleston's finest and shopping.



Getting Around:

We offer free parking onsite. We are only 3 blocks from Upper King Street, so most guests prefer to walk and explore the city. The beach is 15 minutes away by car. There is also a free shuttle offered by the city that runs along King Street (3 blocks away) to popular stops. Bike rentals are available nearby or you might enjoy trying a pedicab taxi.



Other Things to Note:

We are three blocks from King Street, right in the middle of all Charlestonian activity. Incredible restaurants such as Chubby Fish, Southbound, Verns, 167 Raw, Indaco, and Azur. Great places to have drinks are even closer at places like Felix, Stars, Babas, and Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street, such as coastal Italian at Allora or creative Indian at Rivayat. If you want the full Charleston experience, a walking tour or carriage tour is a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter daily and you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.



Interaction with Guests:

We are available for questions and we're glad to assist in any way we can. Please message or call us at anytime.

    I often stay at VRBO properties and this property is top-notich. It is obvious that the property owners are experienced property owners and the property is used for retnals only (no personal items or clutter). Every detail is perfect. The location is great; however, you can hear noise at night, but noise machines are availbale in each room. No parking available at the property, but super easy parking available across the street. The property actually has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, not two as advertisied. Highly recommend--awesome property.

    We loved staying in this home! It was everything and more that we wanted. It was close enough to within walking distance from everything, yet far enough away to give us privacy. It was amazing and beautiful and we will stay there again! Thank you, George and gang for such a beautiful and wonderful experience!

    The place was really beautifully renovated, clean and great for our group of 4. I choose owner rentals for the kitchen and amenities over hotels and this one worked well. The only thing I would recommend is to be very clear on parking which was confusing and awkward. Other than that Morgan was extremely helpful and took great care to make sure we got settled in. We want to come back.

    I booked the upper unit for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. Everything exceeded my expectations. The level of care put into every detail is outstanding. I loved having my morning coffee on the porch. It very much felt like a private enclave, tucked away from the downtown, but still in walking distance to all you need. Definitely dine at the adorable restaurant on the property and order a sandwich from the eatery called Ladels below the main house. I will definitely be back. It’s rare for a rental property to make me feel as though I’m “home” while traveling. Thank you!

    We stayed in this cute place for 3 nights recently. It was well decorated and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Our 2 teens had their own rooms and bathrooms. We had a great picnic table on the balcony where we had coffee and cocktails. It was with easy walking distance to restaurants and King St. Loved it. Hope to stay here again one day.

    I enjoyed my stay at the Charlestonian! This property is located on a very quiet street approximately 3 blocks away from King street. While King street is within walking distance, my boyfriend and I decided to make the super short drive up instead. The check in process was basically seamless. We met with a representative from the property and she let us in and gave us a tour of the property. Anytime I needed to get in touch with the property owner/representative they were super quick to respond to all of my questions, before and during my stay. There was a hiccup with scheduling of the property, we originally had booked the third floor unit, but had to eventually be moved to garden unit due to the scheduling issue. Just know these properties are listed on multiple sites, so there’s a chance you might not be able to stay in the unit you originally requested. That being said, the unit was impeccably decorated, and was extremely clean. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would most definitely stay at the. Charlestonian again!
