St. Phillips Square

I cannot say enough about this place. We absolutely loved it and I hold a very high bar. Clean with all the conveniences. Being able to sit on the porch and in the courtyard was an extra, wonderful bonus. I have already told many family members and friends that if they are ever in Charleston, I have the place for them to stay.

Perfect place for a weekend stay

Property was well maintained and the host even had sound machines for all of the bedrooms. The parking was easy and the lock info for door entry was very well explained. I loved the location to King street shops and all of the restaurants. Will definitely be back maybe for a girls weekend at this property. We loved it

Great Location

This property was a great location for both driving and walking. Good parking and close to King street and neighborhood eateries. Good communication regarding checkin and checkout. The living space was good. One of the bedrooms is a little tight for two people but would be perfect for one. Our only issue was the washing machine did not work and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend.

St. Philips Square VRBO Very Functional For 6

Our only criticism is that for the first 2 days we were under the possible threat of maybe getting towed as we were given only 1 parking pass yet had 3 vehicles. Jamie said we were ok on Friday but might have to move Saturday morning. There were few people there until Saturday afternoon. We never heard back and one of our party left Sunday morning early so we assumed we were ok. Our host hasn't reached out since we left Monday. Security deposit refund?

Great spot right off King Street!

6 of us enjoyed this property for a bachelorette weekend, it was a perfect spot! Walking distance from great bars and restaurants, and only a half hour walk from waterfront park and the ocean. The porch was a great place to hang out, and the property was well maintained and easy to access.

Great time

We had a great time at this property! It was clean and in a great location. The only issue is that the description said it slept 8 people with 3 beds and a pullout couch. Our first night we went to use the pull out couch and there was a piece of paper stating that it was broken since 06/20/24 and that we would have to use the air mattress in the closet. I did not appreciate this as it felt sneaky, and we were expecting to have the pullout as a sleeping option. I feel we paid too much per night for two of us to have to sleep on an air mattress.

This was a great property for CofC graduation! The location was ideal as we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony. Onsite parking was a major plus as was the very inviting porch with ample seating for 6. This property had spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, very comfortable living room (especially the couch), and a kitchen that was suitable for meal prep. Would definitely stay here again.

Great For The Family

This is a beautiful, historic , Charleston style unit. Plenty of space. We had five in our party but could have had two more without an issue. The unit was very very clean. Came equipped with everything we needed. Yummy smelling Dove soap product to are a nice touch. Beds are very comfortable. Towels are soft. And again CLEAN. Washer and dryer are small so we did one small load per day. Super convenient. On-site parking is great. Location is great. Several coffee shops, yummy donuts, bagels, breakfast spots and food choices within a five minute walk. The market and historic sites near the water front are about a 15-20 mi it’s walk away. I loved sitting outside in the morning with my cup of tea. The porches have beautiful plants and plenty of seating. This unit also has a small private patio with a table which was nice. Our only complaint is noise. There’s lots of noise during the day from trucks and workers. One night there was also a very loud party a block away. Obviously not the fault of the property owners and management. It is a city after all. We definitely would stay at one of the properties onsite again.

Enjoyable Stay in Charleston

This property was exactly as described and worked out great for us! It met our needs of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with an outdoor space to enjoy. We had our coffee on the porch each morning which was very enjoyable! We also used the outdoor commom area for evening drinks which was very nice. The living area is a bit small, but it was not an issue. The location is awesome! It's walking distance to everything! The property manager, Jamie, was easy to communicate with! There is construction going on in the neigborhood that was a bit noisy at times, but this is only an temporary issue.

Great Location in a Charleston Single

Other than being on the second floor, the location and property were perfect for our girls’ trip. Just a couple of blocks away from a free bus stop we were able to get everywhere we wanted—for FREE—and not worry about parking. There were some minor things needing attention. We informed the management and they said they would address them. All in all, we can highly recommend this place on St. Philips Square!

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

We have been listing our properties through VRBO for 4 years and have also rented places from Rome, to Camden, Maine to Paris and Normandy France. We are Charlestonians who have crossed the ocean on our sailboat. We love to travel and we appreciate VRBO both as owners and renters.

Why they chose this property

This property is a beautiful old historic Charleston house that is located in a dynamic and exciting area of the city. It has great access to all the Charleston treasures, offers parking, comfort and convenience.

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

Location, location, location!! But also tasteful charm, comfort and convenience.

We are in the "short term rental overlay" established by the city and this neighborhood which guarantees we are legal and safe for you to book. Moreover, this property is closer to Calhoun Street and South of Broad than other legal short term rentals. You can't always tell the difference online. This is a fine building that won awards in 1999 for its outstanding historic renovation. You will be pleased when you make this your choice.
