Beautiful Villa in the heart of the city....

Perfect location to see all the historic places in Charleston and easy in/out of the city to get to plantations and other historic destinations. The Villa has everything you need to make you feel like you are at home. On a scale of 1 to 10 this place is a 10. Perfect place for a couple to enjoy downtown Charleston and the surrounding area.

So pristine we thought we were first guests!

Great location - we weren’t able to take advantage of the walkability but driving was very convenient. We were so pleased with the cleanliness - everything was so clean we felt like we were the first guests in the apartment. Really appreciated the supply of coffee! We would definitely return and recommend!

the secret world of the rabbit hole villa

This charming little getaway is perfect for a couple, and is nestled in the heart of the best part of Charleston and tucked away on a quiet street. Mary is an amazing, and attentive host and answered any questions we had. The private courtyard is a hidden oasis with beautiful plantings and comfy furniture for relaxing. I can't say enough good things about this little paradise and home away from home in the middle of Charleston.

If you want a superb stay with a great downtown location, landscaped patio, and a great host in Mary, the Rabbit Hole is it.The place is classy, well-appointed, with everything you need. My wife and I rarely took the car anywhere. Because of the location, if where we were going was downtown, we walked.In the morning we had coffee on the large patio, at night when we got back from wherever, we wound down on the patio.When we go to Charleston, we'll be staying at the Rabbit Hole.
