Clean and comfortable

My friends and I had a great girls' weekend at St. Philip Square. The place was immaculately clean, beds comfortable, and plenty of bathrooms! There is a spiral staircase, fyi. Well-situated near King St. and many restaurants and cafes. We were able to walk everywhere. Good communication with property manager, even when we had a hard time with the code getting in (user error!).

Safety issues

The tub in the main bedroom/bathroom is very slippery and dangerous. The stove in kitchen will turn on if you are at sink if you bump it. It happened 3 times while we were there. Very dangerous.Third floor is very difficult to access with luggage.

Charleston Weekend with Friends

This place was perfect for our group of 7 girlfriends in town for the Charleston Wine and Food Festival. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the visitor's center where we caught our shuttle out to the Village. We enjoyed the courtyard and fire pits after a long day. I highly recommend to those looking for comfort, convenience and have the physical ability to climb stairs.

Great Location

Great location, just a block off of King St. Loads of local spots for coffee, happy hour or lunch/dinner. Walk to most areas easily. The accommodations are a bit small for 5 adults as the 4th bedroom is actually the living room. Plenty of outside seating. Washer/dryer and grill are shared with several other units. Would still book again.

A perfect girls trip!

There were seven of us and we all wanted to have our own beds to sleep in. There was plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms so we were able to hangout yet have our own spaces to get ready. It is a really cute place with a great porch to hang out in. it’s right on the heart of things so we often just walked to restaurants and shopping. it was totally safe and we were never nervous about walking back late at night. The contact person was extremely responsive and even accommodated us checking in early age checking out later! Great stay!

Beautiful location - close to everything!

A group of 5 of us were in town to celebrate a 50th birthday. We loved the house and Jaime went above and beyond to accommodate us. The beds were so comfortable! We loved that they had shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. The kitchen had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property. My only hesitation would be for anyone 'of size' or with limited mobility staying upstairs. The spiral stairs were a bit of a challenge for a couple people in our group with ankle/knee issues. But there are plenty of beds and two full baths on the main floor which gives you lots of choices! We loved this spot and highly recommend staying here - it's clean, quiet, comfortable & close to everything!

Lovely stay

We were 5 friends in a book club traveling together. The home was beautiful, very clean, with comfortable beds, and convenient to everything. Just one block off King Street, there are many restaurants and bars within a couple blocks. The historic area is only about 1 mile away-an easy walk or Lyft trip. There was some street noise, so bring ear plugs and/or make use of the 2 white noise machines. We enjoyed the piazza (porch) for coffee and tea in the mornings and loved Maya and The Grocery for dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

Pretty smooth process renting this property. The unit was nicely decorated and very clean. The pictures do it justice. Just be aware that there is one bedroom on the first floor and a Murphy bed in the living room. Two other bedrooms are up a spiral stair case. The two upstairs rooms have twin beds. And the bathrooms are tight. Amenities were perfect too. Oh and the outdoor space or piazza was great as well. Definitely recommend!

Designer look, great location.

This place is spotless with upscale and seeming new fixtures and furniture. It is beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is nice with King Street only a block away and the beautiful College of Charleston campus nearby. It’s a perfect location for walking. There’s a great little bakery less than a block away. One thing I loved about this rental was the abundance of towels and washcloths and the full size bath products in the showers. SO convenient! I would put children or shorter people upstairs. You WILL be under the eaves, but it is all beautifully designed.

Perfect charming home in downtown Charleston!

My five girlfriends and I were looking for a cute place to celebrate my 50th birthday. We wanted something nice and cozy, where we could all just hang out and chill. The house was so cute and exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect! We walked to all the restaurants and shops and didn't feel at all unsafe. We had a few questions when we arrived and the property manager was quick to respond to our text messages and phone calls. The main living room had a sofa bed and a Murphy bed! The extra bathroom downstairs in the living room was gorgeous! Several of us girls enjoyed using that shower. It was beautiful. There is a small spiral staircase that leads to the upstairs bedrooms. It was a challenge getting our extra large suitcases up there but we managed to do so. Just wanted folks to be aware of that. The girls and I loved the house and will most likely stay here again when we come back. It was located is the perfect location.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
We are "old" Charlestonians, married 50 years if that tells you about us! We met in college, married and now have 3 children, 5 grandchildren. We have travelled a lot. We discovered VRBO in Europe and realized it's the best way to go. Upon returning home from our 17 year sailboat odyssey, and having spent time in a number of vrbos, we were happy to become host instead of guest. We have been converting our long term apartment rentals into short term rentals. It has ben an intense and interesting project.

We always preferred to stay in a place that was "in town" close to the action, walkable. But we also cared about being in a place where the host shows they cared about style and design. We have really enjoyed having the opportunity to combine great space with gorgeous decor, convenience and comfort.

Why they chose this property

This is a typical Charleston, beautiful house with high ceilings, gorgeous floors, fabulous porches located in the very desirable Cannonborough neighborhood. The house lends itself perfectly to short term rental because of its quality, its location, its versatility and its space.

St Philip Square uniquely offers 8 properties within a "square" that opens onto a shared parking area. Each apartment is a separate unit and has its own qualities. It is the perfect opportunity for groups of all sizes to organize a joint rental but each apartment is separate and its own place. The VRBO numbers are listed here:
1446527. 1531369. 1351757. 1662029. 834186. 7841346. 7841344. 567555
If you put these numbers into a VRBO search without dates you will be able to view each listing.

What makes this property unique

This apartment is the flagship of St Philip Square. The entire complex is a fabulous collection of historic properties that offer high end, well appointed, attractive and comfortable accommodations. Because we have such a diverse group of unique properties we can offer the perfect setting for a small family, a big group of friends, a family reunion, a wedding party (the whole wedding party) a business retreat.
This particular apartment has designed with "hospitality" in mind. We have a lovely typical Charleston living room with fireplace and mantel with grand windows and opening into a convenient dining room/kitchen area with attractive quartz bar, elegant cabinets, full equipment and storage.

The apartment can accommodate the parents, the bridesmaids/groomsmen, the guests who can slip into the living room for the night with its clever full bathroom. The bridesmaid or groomsmen can escape up to the top floor with multiple single beds, clever bathrooms with lots of space, charming windows.

You would chose this apartment if you were hosting. If you want to be in a pretty place. If you want new, modern kitchen and bathrooms in an historic Charleston house. If you want to people watch from the piazza. If you want to walk a block or two south, north, east or west to a great restaurant, a fun bar, a unique shop. Or if you want to park your car and leave it. Or if you want to park your car and have it right by your side when you want to go to a beach or a plantation.
