Great Stay with a Few Location Quirks

We had a great experience overall! The home itself is a quaint, apartment-style space that’s been updated beautifully. It was super clean, very comfortable for four people, and came stocked with all the amenities—even some thoughtful extras like makeup towels, Q-tips, cotton balls, and a quality hairdryer. The bedding exceeded expectations, with plenty of pillows (a rare find in rentals), and the towels were large and plush—definitely a notch above the usual.The location felt a bit sketchy at first, especially when GPS occasionally routed us behind nearby buildings at night. However, we never had any safety concerns, and it ended up being conveniently central—just about 15 minutes from everything we wanted to see and do around Charleston, barring traffic.Security was solid, the neighborhood was quiet, and check-out was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. We did have a brief issue with the internet (turned out to be scheduled maintenance), but the property manager responded immediately and helped us get it sorted quickly.I wish I had gotten more photos, but we were in and out for a long weekend vacation, so we were trying to get as much as we could. But I will say the photos in the descriptions is a very true accurate description of the inside of the home.Overall, it was a great stay with a comfortable setup, thoughtful details, and excellent communication from the host. We’d definitely consider staying again

Clean and cozy

This half a house was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed having this well appointed and very clean home base during our exploration of Charleston. The beds are comfortable, appliances top notch and the bidets a pleasant experience. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Great stay in a beautifully updated space.

For just two of us, there was lots of space. The kitchen was beautiful and we were able to cook our own meals. Washer and dryer were handy and easy to use. We loved the little kitchen nook where we could sit and talk in the morning. The door latch was a little tricky. To lock it, we had to try it twice each time we exited, but once we figured out that detail, it was smooth sailing.

Charleston Wedding

Place was just as described, great location in West Ashley. Reasonably close to everything we wanted to see and do during our stay, especially for the Wedding that was held at Legare Waring House. Kitchen was nicely equipped, cooked breakfast every morning and one dinner during our stay. We stayed in and survived Hurricane Helene, power was out for 3-4 hours but all was good. Would highly recommend Charlie’s Place.

Perfect Charleston Getaway

This super cute property is IMMACULATELY clean with all necessary amenities provided and even some non-necessary ones ( a record player!!) We were about a 15 minute drive down to the water to stroll down Meeting Street, visit Ft. Sumter, and shop at the City Market. We had a quiet, peaceful stay and would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Charleston!

This property was so wonderful on the inside! Comfy. Cozy, great kitchen, nice beds and towels! The neighborhood was a bit odd, a mix of small businesses, trailer homes and small homes. A great stay for a couple of nights. Easy access to Downtown and the gardens.

An excellent choice

We highly recommend Charles' cottage. The unit is thoughtfully furnished, and he provides many small touches that help it feel "homelike." It is in a quiet neighborhood and very convenient to central Charleston, grocery and restaurant choices, etc. This cottage is undoubtedly one of my best vacation rental experiences. Check it out!
