The Neighborhood:
What do we love about this neighborhood? Everything!

Each house is unique. The culinary scene for which the Charleston has become so famous is just steps away. Xiao Bao Biscuit, The Grocery, The Ordinary, 492, Chez Nous, Cannon Green, Trattoria Lucca, Stars, and Fuel (from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) are all just around the corner - among countless others. The fantastic restaurants and nightlife of Upper King Street are close enough to walk but far enough to not keep you up all night.

Getting Around:
The DASH trolley is free in Charleston. There are 3 routes, and two of the routes have stops just 3 blocks from this property. More information can be found with the route map on the DASH website.

Please note that this property has a propane tank for the fire pit, but we do not refill/replace empty containers, nor do we reimburse for refills. There may be enough propane for your use from the previous guests, but if not, empty containers can be exchanged at gas stations, grocery stores, etc.

Extenuating Circumstances Hurricane Policy: If a Mandatory Evacuation Order is issued by the Governor during the dates of your stay specifically for the county in which the property is located, the extenuating circumstances policy will be in effect and we will refund any deposits or payments paid by the guest. We shall have no additional liability concerning the reservation. However, if a Mandatory Evacuation Order is NOT issued, then THE STANDARD CANCELLATION POLICY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT SHOULD THE GUEST CHOOSE TO CANCEL THEIR RESERVATION. If inclement weather in any other part of the country or world during the dates of stay prohibits or alters the guest (or any individuals in the guest's group) from traveling to the property, a refund will not be issued, and we shall have no liability with respect to the reservation. During months where there is a potential for inclement weather, such as hurricane season, we strongly recommend guests purchase travel insurance.

Great location, and the property was as described online. The only thing that didn’t work properly was the outdoor fireplace, the igniter didn’t seem to work - so maybe something to check. Otherwise it was a great property!!!! Highly recommend.

Great location. The street is a bit run down and not very clean. We saw both a live and a dead rat one evening. We had A LOT of noise on Friday night that the "noise cancelling" machines didn't cover. Otherwise, it was very comfortable.

Fantastic space!

The house was very clean and a great location! Easy walk to King St and shopping. Quiet neighborhood (there was some construction but it stopped right at 5 every day). Backyard space is bigger than the pictures indicate. Easy check in and check out process and the hosts were very responsive.

Cute home in Charleston

Good location, easy to get to Kings Street. It was nice for each of us to have our own bedroom with a private bath. We had everything we needed. The only complaint is the bedroom closest to the street gets road noise at night. But a sound machine is provided to help.

Great location and Wonderful Stay

This property had all the space we needed for three couples to gather for a family birthday. The outside area was wonderful, there was a lot of beautiful outside light in the living area due to a large window and perfectly positioned mirrors, and the location is walking distance from King St. very well maintained and had all that we needed. When we experienced one minor issue, we had quick and supportive responsiveness from management. Overall this was a wonderful stay!

Great location and accommodations

This was a great accommodation for three young adults on a girls trip! The location was great and easily walkable to King St and other restaurants in the area. Unfortunately we couldn’t utilize the outdoor patio because of the cold and rain. My only complaint is that one of the beds advertised as a king was really two mattresses/beds pushed together but this wasn’t much of an issue for one person. Overall, recommend!

All around 5 star experience

My 2 friends and I are real estate agents so we're highly particular when it comes to homes and this one got 5 stars from all of us. They did a smart and beautiful job of rehabbing the home in a way that was both stylish and practical. We LOVED that each of us had our own en suite bathrooms and the shared space was perfect for spending time together. The location was amazing–so convenient to everything we needed for the week. The responsiveness of the hosts was outstanding–quick and accommodating. I would recommend this house and any other CVP properties to anyone visiting Charleston!

Stay cut short

This property was great, but due to potential flooding on the street we only stayed here one night. Unfortunately, tropical storm Debby hit during our stay. This property is located on a street that historically floods during tropical storms and hurricanes so the property company moved us to a different property, but the second property wasn’t as nice.
