Summary:

A first-floor 1851 antebellum retreat in the heart of downtown, three blocks from King Street. One king bedroom, one twin daybed, and two full bathrooms make this the most intimate suite in the building, ideal for couples, honeymoons, and solo travelers who want space to breathe. Two private porches, a full kitchen, high-speed WiFi, clawfoot bathtub, and complimentary parking included. Perfect for longer stays in the city.



The Space:

The suite sits on theproperty of The Charlestonian, a fully restored antebellum estate built in 1851 in Cannonborough, one of downtown Charleston's most walkable and celebrated neighborhoods.

One king bed dressed in high-end linens, complete with a sound machine, and smart charging station at the bedside. The twin daybed in the adjoining space makes the suite comfortably work for three guests without feeling crowded, a couple plus a close friend, a solo traveler who wants a sitting room, or a parent traveling with one child.

Two full bathrooms for one bedroom is rare anywhere, and intentional here. Both are tiled in original Vermont slate quarried in 1851, with hand-hammered nickel-plated vessel sinks, salvaged standing-seam tin backsplashes from the original porch roof, and period water closets sourced from Kent, England.

The full kitchen is equipped for guests who want to actually cook, quality cookware, full glassware, and everything needed for a proper meal in. The living space flows through to a private rear porch and patio, while the front porch offers dedicated seating with a view of the neighborhood and access to the shared Green Egg charcoal grill with complimentary charcoal.

Entertainment: Samsung 4K Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Youtube TV.

Premium bath products, hair dryer, and iron. Complimentary parking for one vehicle on premises.

This suite is on the first floor with few stairs, accessible for guests with mobility considerations.



Operating Permit: OP2026-07476



Guest Access:

This suite has access to complimentary parking for one vehicle, the front porch with exclusive, dedicated seating, a private rear porch, and patio with Green Egg charcoal grill, complementary charcoal.



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 restaurants 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, Malagon, 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.

    Beautiful spot to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was very clean and hosts were welcoming and easy to work with. Central location was also a plus and the restaurant on the property was delicious. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful space! A bit hard to locate and the door was wide open, so we were worried that we were in the wrong unit. Wonderful coffee and amazing beds!

    We both loved staying at the Charlestonian! The location is perfect for exploring Charleston either on foot, or in our case, utilizing a short Uber ride. The unit is comfortable for a couple and maybe a third adult or child. This first floor unit has a nice, private, side porch to enjoy a drink in the afternoon. There is another private small porch off the main bedroom that we did not use as it just faces the alley entrance. There is a tasty soup and sandwich shop called Ladles steps away in the basement of the main house. Next door is gourmet dining at South Bound which we did not try. This small unit has everything you need. High end kitchen appliances, all utensils, coffee bar, built in refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. There are some tight spaces and there is no dining table. You will marvel at all the tasteful decorations, books, games, and other thoughtful touches. The bed is super comfy too.We highly recommend The Charlestonian and would definitely stay here again.

    We are very picky travelers. We’ve stayed at the Charlestonian the past 4 times we’ve visited Charleston because our expectations are exceeded each time. The house is always very clean, well stocked with all we need, close enough to king street (just a quick walk), but far enough to feel a little secluded and tucked in. Plus we love eating at South Bound, which is just a few steps away from the front porch. We will keep renting at the Charlestonian because we feel like a better place doesn’t exist!

    We had a wonderful 4 days at this place! The inside is even better than the pictures and it was really comfortable for two people. Tall ceilings, beautiful porch, two bathrooms washer/dryer, great working AC, wonderful location…this property had everything we could have wanted! We have stayed at 3 different properties when visiting Charleston and this was by far our favorite. My biggest complaint is that the front door uses a key fob and it is extremely difficult to open the door. It would often take close to 10 tries to get in…would highly recommend upgrading. One thing to note is that this unit was on the first floor and we could hear our upstairs neighbors all the time. Ear plugs worked well for my boyfriend since he is a very light sleeper but I’m a heavy sleeper and it even woke me up multiple times. Also, we had to reach out to the property manager the night we arrived to find out how to enter the property which was odd…expected him to let us know the day of. Luckily communication was great and we got a quick response. Overall this is a fantastic property and really well done. When we come back to Charleston we will try to stay at this property again!

    Upon arrival key was exactly where we were expecting it, easy entry, opening door we were so delighted to see how amazing our little place was and very clean. Love that they went extra mile to provide coffee and fixing. They even had tide and dryer sheets if needed. Sheets and towels had monogram. They really covered all details! The property is perfectly locayed and easy safe walk to King Street. The onsitr restaurant Southbound was delicious and even featured Foie Gras from a feiends place by us in NY!! Highly recommend this as place to see Charleston

    My husband and I had a weekend adventure in Charleston, we were greeted promptly by Elizabeth! Theo's location was so quaint and comfortable! Perfect for someone wanting to explore Charleston but not have the noose at night! The restaurant right next door closes at 10! Thank you for such a lovely weekend!!
