Perfect Spot

Beautiful carriage house and property. The Innkeeper Julie was perfect at her job, providing wonderful baked goods and being on top of everything one might need. The location couldn't be better with easy walks to historical sights and restaurants. The included tour of the Edmonston-Alston House was fascinating and very well run!

Like a Hallmark Movie

When the innkeeper brings you homemade sugar cookies filled with lemon curd from a homegrown lemon tree, you know you’re in the right spot. Julie, the innkeeper, made sure everything was perfect and that we were comfortable. The treats she made for us were delicious. The carriage house is large but also cozy. Great location near water, restaurants and bars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Better Than We Could Have Imagined

21 East Battery was exceptional! The property was outstanding! Very comfortable and warm for a 195 year old home. Even when it dipped into the 20's in the evening. Can't say enough about the Inn Keeper. She greeted us when we arrived late in the evening and showed us everything. Great trip to Charleston! Thank you for your hospitality.

More than we expected. Large comfortable living space and very clean. “Walkability” from this property is amazing. Dozens of quality restaurants, stores and the Charleston Market all within a 20 minute casual stroll up E Bay. Views along the Battery were breathtaking. As a host, Julie was amazing. Very attentive, and provided a lot of local information and history. She provided home baked goods each day when she came to tidy up the property. We definitely would look into staying again in future trips to Charleston.

Let me just start by saying Julie is amazing and so are her blue berry muffins! Quiet spot, walking distance to king st for shopping and restaurants. Carriage house is a good size. Beautiful architecturally. Bed and pillow were very comfortable. And surprised how big the shower was. Wonderful stay!

Fantastic accommodations in the historic district

The location is great: across the street from the battery boardwalk along Charleston Bay. The Carriage House is set back off the street behind a giant live oak; street noise is essentially absent. It is only 0.5-0.75 miles to exceptional restaurants and the Market Street market which extends for many blocks. The Carriage House itself is maintained remarkably well, and feels luxurious. It was truly a privilege to stay for six days in a Carriage House that is a special part of Charleston’s history. Our hostess, Julie, contacted us daily to see if we needed anything. In addition, she provided yogurt, fresh fruit, breakfast egg casseroles, and baked exquisite blueberry muffins and lemon pound cake. In summary, the Carriage House and Julie were both unique.

A step back in time

Our stay at the carriage house was amazing, from the location to the wonderful baked goods Julie provided. We were immersed in history as we toured Ft Sumter and Boone Hall Plantation. The location was directly on the bay and in walking distance to a lot of good restaurants. Julie was a fabulous host and, as mentioned before a wonderful baker. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Technically ignorant

My stay was very good. The host provided excellent breakfast. The place was very clean. My only complaint is that the TV was impossible for me to operate. It would have been nice to have some instructions on how to navigate to something I’d like to watch. An instruction sheet would have been nice.

Heaven with history

Beautiful, large property appointed with lovely antiques. Best bed, towels, breakfast and host ever. We were totally pampered. The location could not have been better with a view of the river, easy walking distance to the historic center and a museum house right on property! The tour was great and got right into the swing of this historic city. We will definitely retur, God willing and the creeks don’t rise.

Wonderful stay in Charleston

My husband and I have traveled to Charleston several times over the years, and this was the best stay yet. We felt so special staying in an historic carriage house which was so comfortable and just top-notch. Julie is so kind and what a cook! It was a delight to return at the end of the day to see what breakfast treat she had left for us. There is parking on site- we left our car and never used it during our stay, given the fantastic location. There is room for 4 people, if you don’t mind sharing the shower (there is a half bath on lower level) but the two of us enjoyed all the various places to spread out, including the private balcony overlooking the grounds. This will definitely be our go-to place when we return to Charleston-hopefully soon!
