We greatly enjoyed our stay at Parlor House 223A! The home itself is absolutely beautiful. All of the finishings, furniture, decor, etc set the table perfectly for a weekend that feels authentically historic Charleston but also are incredibly comfortable and usable- not stuffy at all. The fact that my husband and I had the downstairs suite while both our kids (16 and 12) each had an upstairs suite with their own king sized bed and their own bathroom made everyone comfortable. The living room/kitchen combo area is very functional and easy to use- we weren’t there much during the days, but we enjoyed relaxing there with our coffee from Island Provisions next door (another property under the same management group as 223A and super convenient to have delicious coffee literally steps from your front door upon waking up!) and we had a Harry Potter movie marathon going on Peacock+ on the tv in the living room each night after returning from our days’ adventures! The house is an easy walk to King St and all the dining and fun there- we walked there for dinner and an escape room on two evenings. It was also an easy drive to the other two places we visited during our short stay- the downtown French Quarter area and Sullivan’s Island. We loved everything about the 223A property- beautiful and authentic decor, conveniently located, off-street covered parking, safe little courtyard/neighborhood feel with the other properties owned by this same group, tons of room inside the home, beautiful aesthetic, etc… but the funniest thing was the faces of people who would walk by and look into the windows, thinking it was a lovely commercial bar, and then be SHOCKED to see us on the sofa in our pjs! (This could be easily solved by closing the large velvet curtains in the front windows, and we did that at night- but we left them open a lot so we could see people outside stop, peer in, and ask each other “What’s the name of this bar…” and then watch them realize it wasn’t a bar at all! 🤣)
