About this property

Historic Home, Big Porch, 5m Walk to King, Free Parking!

Incredible hosts to help you navigate your 2022 trip to Charleston!
No shared surfaces or spaces!
Beautiful porch with picnic table!
Free parking!

Charleston has so much to offer - beaches, history, The French Quarter, the Angel Oak, parks, tours, boat rides, museums, Shem Creek and so much more! We are at your service to help you navigate uncertain times and have a fantastic trip!

Traveling with a group? En-suite bathrooms are the way to go, and that's exactly what we offer.

Be among the first to stay in this bright 3BR/3BA apartment, housed in an updated Charleston single home in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. Built in the late 1800s, the home underwent a full renovation completed in 2017. Located within steps of all the city has to offer! 3 blocks to Upper King Street, steps from Sugar Bakeshop, Indigo & Cotton, Ladles, Fuel, and more.

Just under 1,000 square feet, the apartment offers three bedrooms each featuring premium bedding, its own full bathroom, and all the amenities of a boutique hotel with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen. Off-street parking is available; although visitors will likely find that exploring the city on foot, or by Uber/Lyft/rickshaw is the most convenient way to get around town. There is room for one car to park across the street from us in our private lot.

This apartment is on the first floor of the three-story property. Both upstairs and downstairs (garden level) we offer two additional 3BR/3BA apartments with the same floor plan that can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for larger parties. Please inquire if interested.

We ask that our guests please be respectful of fellow guests both in this apartment and next door. No parties or late-night noise will be tolerated.

Great Experience with this Rental!
We loved this beautiful 3-bedroom rental. Very convenient to shops and restaurants. Communication was excellent, before and during our stay. We locked ourselves out one afternoon and George was there almost immediately to let us in. Beds were very comfortable! Would definitely rent again!

First time in Charleston for girls trip!
We loved everything about our stay here. The place is well appointed, comfortable and we loved the decor! The location is perfect! Restaurants super close by including Ladels for lunch and Southside for dinner- the aroma coming from Southside was amazing! Make sure to grab a bagel at Holey City and a cupcake from Sugar- just across the street. George was great at communication and check-in! We will be back! ❤️

Beautiful accomedations but some dissapointment
Liked the accomedations,nice separate bedrooms and showers. Very clean. But very dissapointed that parking was not outfront of our cottage. My son had to go across the street behind a delapited home and park. I am handicapped and could not have done it without my son. There was no hotwater in bathroom basins. Also experienced an annoying beeping sound that was not corrected all day and finally had to call Management to fix the problem as i didnt want it going on all night.

The perfect girls getaway
We had a great time here, we had 5 girls and the 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms was perfect for us. We loved the living space and the newly added speaker that we could easily Bluetooth our phones too. It was only a short walk to King's street so we were able to pop to downtown anytime we liked. Everyone was so friendly, I would recommend to anyone looking for a clean, spacious place to stay with a great location!

Charming Charleston
We appreciated the location of the property. The close access to King Street made it easy to walk and we did a lot of walking! We didn't have a car, but having a parking spot in front of the property is amazing and valuable in a city with so much tight on street parking. The home has been lovingly restored. One suggestion is to have some place to put toiletries. A pedestal sink is lovely, but when women are trying to get ready for a wedding it made it challenging to have to put your makeup on the floor. There were 5 of us in the house and the walls are thick, noise did not carry. One other thought is more comfortable seating and space for six to sit since there are three bedrooms. Keep in mind, this does not prevent us from giving the place five stars, just suggestions from some well worn travelers! Thanks for letting us check in early.

Charleston ‘23
Great location! Walked to King St and even back from dinner on Queen St! Appreciated having coffee provided at the property. Only downside with being on the first floor was staying below a group with small children running about on the second floor. However, we we were not at ‘home base’ often so it wasn’t too much of an issue. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Great Location
Great location and comfortable beds. Very clean and great service. Note, this was the lower unit and you can hear the upstairs guests walking around, but it was not a big deal. The owner provides sleep noise machines which helped. The restaurant in front of the unit is very good as well.

Comfortable, convenient, and well run
This was our second time staying at one of this owner’s properties. His rental units are nicely decorated and full of all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. They’re also convenient to King Street and a variety of excellent restaurants. Communication from the owner is always great. Overall, a great option in the Cannonborough area, which is where many of the short-term rentals are located in Charleston.

Great location and property with a few glitches
Overall this was a great property and location. The overall rating is based only on the property location and access to areas of interest. Understanding there are limitations to a historica home layout, there a few issues. When we were at "home" between outings it was uncomfortable for the four of us to sit around and enjoy the living room space as furnishings were uncomfortable and wouldn't accomodate more than 4 people. We did take advantage of the porch which was great! Three bedrooms w/ baths was perfect. The closets in two of the bedrooms... one had a dresser in it leaving little hanging space....the other had some sort of window coverings taking most of the space. This rendered the closets almost unusable. Two of the dresser drawers in one room could not be opened. Lastly, I would suggest that some instructuons on TV usage would be helpful. While I did contact our host with a question, he answered "Yes" that we could access the channels about which I asked but never told me how. Attention to these details would have made our stay so much better and improved the rating.

Great location
First time to Charleston... went with friends and we really enjoyed the location of the VRBO. We walked everywhere and enjoyed our stay. The place met our needs, it is an older home so you do hear your neighbors walking around above you but that did not bother me and it is disclosed in the reviews. There was construction in the back but the hours were respectful and the host did let us know ahead of time. Love it and would stay again.
