About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Cottage at DuPont. Privacy and Space in a Park-like Setting.

A great way to "get away from it all" in Charleston. Enjoy this spacious 1064 square foot cottage located in a beautifully landscaped private garden setting.

Beautifully furnished, always spotlessly clean with a well-furnished full kitchen...and totally away from the crowds. The cottage is a free-standing self-contained private accommodation in a beautiful garden setting with off street parking.

Only four miles from the Historic District the Cottage is close to Middleton and Magnolia Gardens, Drayton Hall, Charles Towne Landing, McLeod Plantation, the Intracoastal Waterway and 20 minutes from Folly Beach. The ten mile long West Ashley Greenway is just two blocks away. It's great for walking and biking. Our own private garden with koi pond and waterfall is also a nice place to unwind.

Getting out of the downtown crowd allows our guests to relax and enjoy a 1064 square foot cottage with TWO Queen size beds in ONE 25' X 12' bedroom and a large living area. The property has an awesome kitchen with marble countertops and a large living area where guests can share a meal and some quality time together.

If you want to go downtown it's five minutes away. If you want to walk the gardens, ride or walk the greenway or just stare out across a gorgeous Intracoastal waterway view you can do that right here in West Ashley on your own schedule. All of these options are between 2 and 15 minutes away. Many restaurants in the area deliver independently or participate with GrubHub and UberEats.

The Cottage is located in the DuPont section of West Ashley on Wappoo Road between the West Ashley Greenway and the Stono River Overlook ICW at the Edgewater Park Bridge. The building faces a private garden behind a privacy gate and is completely separate from the owners' home which is also on the property. We are located two miles from the Avondale entertainment district and four miles to downtown Charleston and the Medical District.

We enjoy interacting with guests, but we also believe in giving people their space. All arrangements can be made online and contact-free. We are generally available during the day between 8AM and 7PM and we are happy to assist you with local information or any special needs. The Cottage at DuPont is a fully licensed short term rental accommodation in the City of Charleston. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW PETS, CHILDREN, SMOKING OR EVENTS OF ANY KIND.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Wonderful and relaxing week!

We spent a week at Rob and Charlie's incredible carriage house on a park-like property in West Ashley. We had a rental car and loved the quiet location close to downtown Charleston but also close to historic sites like Middleton Place. Charlie and Rob were amazing hosts....so welcoming, gracious and helpful. The apartment is clean, spacious and tastfully decorated with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. I definitely recommend this rental!

Lovely Retreat

What a lovely, secluded cottage that offers both privacy and relaxation. The garden and Koi pond were a welcome oasis after a day of touring in Charleston. The owners were readily available throughout our stay and were both welcoming and accommodating. (we tried several of the restaurant recommendations and were not disappointed!)The cottage was prefect for 2 people for a get-away vacation. We certainly will return again.Thank you. Georgia and Dan

Southern hospitality in a peaceful setting

So grateful to Charlie and Rob for creating a beautiful space in such a warm and welcoming environment. From the sweet Koi Pond to the cottage itself, they thought of everything that a guest would need for comfort. It’s rare to find a VRBO and owners as dedicated and kind as this one. Thank you both!!

An Amazing Stay!

It was such a joy to stay here - The hosts are wonderful and very inviting, full of great conversation, and you can tell they really care about community and connecting with others. The space itself is gorgeous, both inside and out. It was very clean, the pond of koi and the turtle are a beautiful way to relax without going anywhere. It's a great location - quiet, yet not far from shops and things to do. We lived the ability to walk right over to the greenway for a nice run, and still be able to hop in the car for a quick 10min into the downtown area. We will absolutely be back to stay in the future - one of the best experiences we've had so far!Thanks Charlie!

Perfect Location, Lovely Setting, Comfortable Accommodations

If you’re planning a stay in the Charleston area, we highly recommend staying here! It’s 15 minutes from the airport and only a 20-30 minute drive from some of the must-see locations, such as the aquarium, famous plantations, Fort Sumter Visitor Center and close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Our hosts were cordial and welcoming, and the home was in pristine condition. Charleston is a lovely city with so much history. Make sure you take one of the horse-drawn carriage tours!

First time visitors to Charleston

My husband and I loved this place! It was perfect for the 2 of us. We stayed here for a wedding that we were attending and it was a convenient location. The neighborhood was quaint. Charlie was a great host who was happy to have us hang out with him by the pond to chat. The unit was above the garage and was very clean. Charlie thought of everything as it was well equipped with pump soap in the bathrooms, plenty of fresh towels, laundry detergent, etc. We would definitely come back to this place. We've never been to Charleston and I was worried if the place would be as good as the pictures and it actually exceeded our expectations!! My husband and I said multiple times that we lucked out on this find!

“slice of heaven”

The hosts and the property are truly one-of-a-kind! We instantly felt welcomed. Our hosts were warm, attentive, & familiar. The property was truly an oasis and well-loved. Just being in the garden felt resort-like. The carriage house apartment was efficient and well-appointed. As owners of our own VRBO property; We well appreciate the love, care, and labor of this “slice of heaven”. We will be raving about this place for a long time to come and would definitely return, on our next trip to Charleston!!!!!!!!!! Sincere thanks to our hosts.

If you love wine, peace and quiet, easy accesss to everything, and if you so decide some other people to share wine as you sit under a beautifully lit naturescape, this is your place.
