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, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

*If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*

    My husband and two older kids (20 & 15) stayed here on our way to the beach for vacation. We loved the location of this place and how cute and clean it was! It was nice giving our kids their own rooms, too, (equipped with something other than a twin bed)which can be hard to find. Definitely recommend staying here if visiting Charleston.

    The St. Philip Square area is really attractive and uses space very well. Our unit was well furnished and very comfortable. The kitchen is small, but functional. The location is convenient to King's Street and quite a few good restaurants and bars. It is a bit of a walk to the battery and/or the boat docks for the water tours, but the walks go through some really interesting areas.We would stay again.

    We loved our time here -- the perfect size for a couples getaway. The unit was clean (which is the most important things for me when looking for a place) and the beds were comfy. Jamie was also highly communicative and allowed us to check in early. It's at the north end of King street, so it is a 20 minute walk or a quick uber ride to most dinners. There's also some great spots nearby. Would certainly stay here again.

    The apartment was super clean, had comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen. Walking distance to many restaurants. Was perfect for our group of 5! Would definitely stay here again.
