Beautiful Charleston

This property was in the perfect location for walking the city. Close to many restaurants, parks, and interesting sites. The bedroom and bathroom are upstairs which they did mention but be careful if you have any mobility issues. We loved our stay at this lovely condo.

Quick Girls Trip

My friend and I visited with her daughter and mine to celebrate my friends 50th birthday. The location and property were fantastic for our stay. It was in a great location and very comfortable for the four of us. Right in the heart of everything and a great place to rest after a long day of sightseeing, beaching and exploring! The only snag we ran into was what to do with our luggage on checkout day until we had to go to the airport but the team was very helpful in getting us connected with Charleston Bag Valet.

Wonderful location, spacious room.

We recently stayed here as a family (2 kids). The room was clean, well furnished, with a wonderful location. Central to most tourist activities, or a short walk away (20 min walk to the aquarium, and Fort Sumter boat), was very convenient. This is where we will stay next time we come to Charleston!

Great location!

Place is located at the perfect spot to access restaurants, other Charleston attractions. Bedroom and bathroom access are up a narrow spiral staircase, so probably not well suited for young kids or folks with mobility issues.
