This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated “dependency” or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, standing seam copper roof, copper guttering, original moldings, plasterwork, old glass windows, and solid panel doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. It`s the real deal!

- Landscaped parking for 1 vehicle.

    This is an extraordinary apartment. It is like stepping into a page from Southern Living magazine. The property is beautiful with fountains and fire pits. Comfortable seating everywhere, beautiful balconies. The host is fabulous to work with. We were a group of seven ladies aged 60 - 76 yrs.

    We stayed at this property with family to celebrate a 50th birthday, and it was the perfect home base for our trip to Charleston. The accommodations were very comfortable, with plenty of space for the four of us to spread out and feel right at home.The beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We had a small issue with one of the showers, but the property owner responded immediately and resolved it quickly—excellent communication and service.The location couldn’t be better! Just a short walk to King Street, where we enjoyed great shopping and dining options. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and cozy spot in Charleston.

    Great family stay in a charming historic home. The unit appeared to be very well cleaned and maintained. We loved the highly walkable area and found some great restaurants and coffee shops within a few blocks. One thing to note is that two of the bedrooms are upstairs in the former attic level, so the beds have low head clearance and the bathrooms are small. We did have two adults successfully sleep up there, but felt those bedrooms would be best suited for children. One note for the host is that we would have appreciated optional plug-in air fresheners since (like all historic southern homes) it can smell a bit musty in the summer. Would happily stay again.

    The tub in the main bedroom/bathroom is very slippery and dangerous. The stove in kitchen will turn on if you are at sink if you bump it. It happened 3 times while we were there. Very dangerous.Third floor is very difficult to access with luggage.

    We loved this apartment! It was perfectly located, designed and outfitted for our group of 6. All good things to say about this rental and I would recommend it highly to others.

    I came on a girls weekend with 6 women. Everyone loved the place...plenty of room for 6 with 4 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms plus extra beds. It was quirky and quaint with all the ammenities we needed, plus lots of thoughtful extras. Our favorite spot to gather was the front porch. Location was great too, just far enough out of the hustling downtown area, but within walking distance to the market, harbor area, and plenty of great restaurants! Would definitely stay here again.

    My friends and I had a great girls' weekend at St. Philip Square. The place was immaculately clean, beds comfortable, and plenty of bathrooms! There is a spiral staircase, fyi. Well-situated near King St. and many restaurants and cafes. We were able to walk everywhere. Good communication with property manager, even when we had a hard time with the code getting in (user error!).

    A group of 5 of us were in town to celebrate a 50th birthday. We loved the house and Jaime went above and beyond to accommodate us. The beds were so comfortable! We loved that they had shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. The kitchen had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property. My only hesitation would be for anyone 'of size' or with limited mobility staying upstairs. The spiral stairs were a bit of a challenge for a couple people in our group with ankle/knee issues. But there are plenty of beds and two full baths on the main floor which gives you lots of choices! We loved this spot and highly recommend staying here - it's clean, quiet, comfortable & close to everything!
