THE AREA
If you are not familiar with Charleston or this area, you can see we are slightly north of the College of Charleston on historic St. Philip Street. This charming apartment is the perfect base to enjoy an enchanting Charleston experience. Charleston is like Rome, Italy in that most of the notable monuments and historic details are found in a fairly contained area. You can literally walk from the apartment to the southernmost extremes of the Historic District in under thirty minutes. Passing antebellum homes and cobblestone streets, this journey will take you through the Historic King Street District and the neighborhoods of Cannonborough, Elliottborough, Radcliffborough, Harleston Village and finally South of Broad until you reach the Battery itself. Go east one block and you are on King Street, the home of designer shops, eclectic boutiques, antique stores and a host of other fascinating shops as well as nationally acclaimed restaurants. Upper King is the new center of Charleston's renowned restaurant and night life. A recent survey of the "essential 18 Charleston Restaurants" has several of these restaurants (Hominy Grill, The Grocery, The Macintosh, The Ordinary) within four blocks of the apartment. We also love to walk to Five Loaves Cafe, Stella's Greek Restaurant, Goulette Rotisserie, Sugar Bakery and the Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square. The South Carolina Aquarium and the Children's Museum of the Low Country are close and a delight for both children and parents. The Charleston Museum, one of the nation's first museums, is also within walking distance. We are excited to offer this attractive space on VRBO.
If you vacationing in Charleston and need to sleep from 2 to 72 people...in award winning historic properties...one block from King St. and .4 miles to Calhoun St...beautifully renovated with stunning decor and parking, St Philip Square is your answer!
You need to look carefully to realize our properties are noticeably closer to South of Broad, and our buildings are substantial historic buildings, with charm and character not possible in new construction, in a community setting where groups can gather, in an area where it's possible to rent without the owner present, in properties that sparkle with stunning renovation and charming decor. We have a unique offering for wedding groups, family reunions, business retreats, friends traveling together, honeymooners, anniversary celebrants or families with kids.
INSURANCE
We advise during the month of September particularly, and some into October, that you purchase the trip protection insurance. It is the peak of hurricane season in our area. We do not offer refunds or date changes for any reason outside the 60 day cancellation period.

St Philip’s Square is a cozy oasis in the head of the city. This is our second stay and as usual The accommodations included anything and everything you could need for a home away from home. The property is beautiful with a long porch and walking distance to all restaurants, shopping and attractions. Thank you for such a wonderful visit
This was a really wonderful apartment in an ideal location of Charleston. We were 5 people, had plenty of space/bedding- definitely worth it and would stay again!
Everything was awesome .....we had a spectacular time!!
Philip Square is unique, perfectly located and all around wonderful! The “apartment” had everything needed to relax and also entertain our local Charleston family. The property was beautifully decorated for Christmas holidays (the thoughtful and gracious property manager offered us a Christmas tree for the living room which we asked be placed on the porch.) The location allowed us to walk to all the restaurants and shops on King Street and to hear the church bells and sounds of the city. We look forward to booking again
We loved this unit. Perfect for our family of five. Great to walk to King Street. So helpful to have designated parking, as many options we considered didn't. Owner was responsive to the one question we had while there. We would definitely return!
I slept in the bedroom closest to the road and the traffic noise was extremely loud. People in the adjoining home were out on their patio until 3am talking and laughing. The neighborhood in general usually quieted down between 3 and 4 and then I was able to sleep. The home itself was perfect and the proximity to King Street was great but it was the wrong neighborhood for an older person like myself.
Very nice, clean, classic house central to everything in Charleston. You are near everything as this house is central to all the activities in Charleston. The house also has a fantastic porch if you rather stay in and relax.
This was an ideal place for our stay. Provided parking was plentiful and easy. Laundry (outside on the porch) was convenient and proximity to Upper King street a huge bonus. Very clean.
We enjoyed our stay in Charleston. The apartment was beautiful, as well as being close to shops and restaurants. Thank you!
Great location and perfect size apartment for four people, all amenities, good communication with host. The only distraction is a lot of street noise on the weekends, but that is pointed out and noise machines are provided. We would definitely stay there again.
