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.

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 girls weekend!

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.
