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*

*Pet Policy: Only Small Pets under 25 pounds (maximum of 2) allowed with prior written approval ($200 non-refundable fee per pet).Must have authorization prior to reservation.*

    Great communication with the property manager Jamie. St. Phillip’s Square is walkable to everything Charleston and worked well for our family of 6 plus our dog. One of the bathrooms is a European-style “wet”bathroom- so make sure to understand that before staying. The porch is great and the bedrooms are nicely-sized. There is parking for one car with the unit, but several parking options nearby if you need room for a second car. Don’t miss Baba’s for coffee, the chicken at Bartaco, or oysters at Darling Oyster Bar.

    The host was extremely fast responding to my questions, she was helpful and flexible with our arrival plans. The accommodation was perfect, very clean, well stocked. We really couldn’t have been any happier. Also great location, easy walk or quick uber ride to all our planned activities. Charlston is a darling city.

    This property was perfect for our ladies getaway in Charleston! The property is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the three of us had plenty of space. It was very, very clean. The location is perfect. We were able to walk to all of the wonderful shops and restaurants on King Street. We had great communication with the owners and they were so helpful. Five stars all around and we will come back again!

    We just spent a long weekend here and had a wonderful time. It was clean and perfectly suited to our group of five cousins. The location is great for shopping and dining. Jamie was very responsive leading up to our visit and while there, we didn’t need a thing. Great place!

    The location of the property was great one block down from King Street on a quiet street. We were able to walk everywhere. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Jamie was great to deal with. We planned the trip around the Charleston 1/2 marathon which was cancelled (due to snow/ice) but we still had fun in Charleston, shopping and trying different restaurants all convenient to the property.

    This stay was excellent for what we needed. The host went above and beyond to help accommodate anything needed and she was always quick to answer any questions while staying. We will definitely be staying in one of these houses again. Excellent excellent host.

    Kitchen was too small, no dining room, the walls I think are made of paper we could hear all of the neighbors just talking. Definitely wouldn't stay there again. One nice bathroom the other bathroom was some kind of a concocted showebathroom.
