Charmingly Charleston is an ideally situated townhouse located across the street from Colonial Lake and Moultrie Park in downtown Charleston's Historic District. It is a perfect spot for visitors who want to really enjoy living in Charleston like a local! Our charming home away from home is a lovely place to rest your head while visiting Charleston for a month or longer.

Decorated in a quirky, relaxed Lowcountry theme, Charmingly Charleston offers two bedrooms, one and a half baths, living room, separate dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and laundry room. The primary bedroom is large with a walk-in closet and a queen-sized bed. The second bedroom is cozy and has a day bed with trundle and a writing desk.

We are located South of Broad, on Colonial Lake, near the Battery, the Safe Harbor Marinas, and within walking or biking distance of the Medical University of South Carolina and College of Charleston. A nice walk or pedi-cab ride away you will also find the City Market, Gibbes Museum, and the fabulous shopping & dining of King Street.

Enjoy Charleston's wonderful restaurants, antique shops, historic and ghost walking tours, horse drawn carriages, tours of historic homes, harbor cruises, and the South Carolina Aquarium all nearby!

It is also an easy commute to Boeing or a jaunt across the peninsula to Charleston Law School. Additionally you are just a short drive from five beaches, seven marinas, and more golf courses that I can recall.

Don't wait, just grab your toothbrush and come on!

Interested in staying longer Ask me about our lease rates for three or more months that include housekeeping, Internet, and utilities.

Please note, that per Charleston's draconian ordinances, we are a monthly rental and do not rent by the night. However, at these fabulous rates, you can book for a month for the cost of two weeks in the party district!

Cancellation Policy
We are not the Hilton, and when you make a reservation, we hold the space for you and turn away other guests so you will have this special place. People searching for monthly rentals usually book 6-12 months in advance, as such we are not able to offer “flexible” cancellations.

If you have any questions, please contact me. We love hosting and sharing our city with others, and we hope to see you soon!

    Great location. Comfortable, well-furnished accommodations. Easy and convenient off-street parking. The host was inviting and very accessible. In short, we loved it and will be back!

    We spent a month in October/November 2025 to experience Charleston. I don’t know that we could have had a better experience at Maxine’s place. The location across from Colonial Lake and walking distance to the river and downtown is perfect and totally walkable. Having 2 parking spots was another huge bonus. I’m leaving a great review because it is deserved, but I’m hoping this doesn’t impact our ability to book again in the future due to resulting popularity ;)Book without hesitation

    We really loved our stay and Maxine was so wonderful and communicative with us. We loved being able to have our pup in town with us!

    Maxine’s townhouse is perfectly situated in Charleston, across the street from Colonial Lake, in a very safe and walkable area. Her house is well stocked with everything you need for an extended stay. The neighbors are friendly. The two designated parking spaces in front are very helpful, plus plenty of free on street parking. It was the perfect place for a two month stay. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I had to be in Charleston for medical treatment at MUSC. The location was so convienent for our daily visits, 4 minutes from the Hollings Cancer Center. Aside from why we were there, the location was perfect for everything historic Charleston. Situated among streets of history and amazing historic streets and homes to stroll among. You can safely walk to your hearts content. Our host, Maxine, was most easy to contact and was accomodating to our needs. Her townhome was clean, well maintained and tasefully decorated. Everything that you would need to get started for a long term stay was there for our use. Our 2nd evenig there, the television faded to black and it was done. Maxine had a new one installed the very next day. And she fully loaded it with streaming programming, Netflix and such. What more could you ask from a host? Thank you for everything, Maxine. CWD

    37 Ashley is a beautiful, comfortable home. We stayed for two months and would happily return. Maxine is a terrific host who responds instantly to any concern. We feel so lucky to have found this terrific spot. The location is perfect for walking and exploring Charleston.

    We loved everything about staying at this property. Carefully maintained and decorated, this townhouse is spacious, light and very clean comfortable - plus it’s in an outstanding location at the corner of Colonial Lake. The location feels quiet and distant from the crowds visiting historic downtown, but actually it’s only a few blocks away from restaurants, bistros, galleries and shops. The host could not be more gracious and responded immediately to any question. I recommend this wonderful property most highly.
