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!

The grounds feature outdoor garden areas with fountains, dining areas, fire tables and outdoor grills. In the evening, this oasis sparkles with outdoor lighting, making it the perfect place for nightcaps after a day of exploring.

Including a knife sharpener in the kitchen or having housekeeping sharpen the knives before check-in would be a very good practice. I was never able to figure out how to light the fire tables after 7pm. Ugh!

The check in was a breeze, we had a nice parking area, location perfect for sightseeing and dining - lots to see within walking distance. The unit was spotless, well-stocked with supplies, coffee and linens. We especially loved the common outdoor area with the fire pit and fountains. Jaime was friendly and helpful. Altogether a perfect location and place to stay.

Excellent stay! Would stay at the property again on location alone. Extremely cozy beds. It is a lower level unit, so beware of what comes along with that. Very modern with everything you need for a few nights. Our only hiccup was getting to the Xfinity TV app at first, and the front door keypad needs to be looked at. Very nice property!!

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The host was incredibly communicative and quick to respond, making the entire process seamless. The space itself felt like home — spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked. I especially appreciated the quality hair and skin products in the shower.The location couldn’t be better: walkable to coffee shops, great restaurants, King Street, and full of Charleston charm. Having on-site parking was a huge plus, and the property’s beautiful landscaping made it feel like a resort. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!The pictures are taken on the property!

Great place!

This place is in a good area of downtown Charleston. Only a block from King St. If felt like a safe area to walk at night. Nice parking area. Plenty of room for two couples. Two master suites with a small kitchen and living room. This place was very clean. It had extra pillows, blankets and towels. I would definitely stay here again.

Graduation weekend in Charleston

This property provided everything and more to be comfortable and social in the Cannonborough neighborhood of downtown Charleston. We walked to everything we needed (dining, shopping, College of Charleston, etc), and loved the common area of the courtyards and fountains to the rear of the property. Morning coffee on the porch beneath the hanging ferns was a highlight as well. We loved the ability to be both indoors and outdoors. The perfect stay!
