A2 at Saint Philip Square, One Block to King, Stylish Southern Escape

Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes spanning nearly one city block of downtown Charleston.

This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

It was a great location and easy walk to lots of things. The place was nice, it was clean except there was some dirt on the bathroom floors so it was not spotless like others I have rented. Spiral stairs leading to the the place was a little slippery on one of the days when it rain. But overall it was nice and the host was get about keeping in touch through out the process.

Super cute accommodations with your own private garden. Close to shops and restaurants but not right in the middle of all people or traffic. Easy to park, easy to get on the highway to explore the surrounding area outside of downtown. I would definitely stay again.

Location location location!!!

Perfect location to enjoy the best of King Street and restaurants! Also very easily accessible to nearby highways. The apartment was exactly as pictured, very well stocked! Would stay here again and have already sent to friends for future stays. (The one and only downside was that the people staying in the apartment above us were very loud as early as 3am getting in from bars and waking us up.) Other than that it was perfect!

The place was amazing and close to everything. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the unit. They only thing I’d recommend is maybe spraying for mosquitoes as I got bitten up heavily while sitting in the lovely courtyard. (My fault though for not bringing bug spray). We would definitely stay again!

We brought my parents to Charleston for the first time and this place was perfect for two couples. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the courtyard area as well. The kitchen had everything we needed for lite breakfasts and the off-street parking was incredibly convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

We spent a long weekend, and the place was great. It’s close enough to walk everywhere, but some of the places like the Market and Battery were longer walks, so give yourself time, or grab an Uber. Off street parking was great!
