A wonderful townhouse "Johnson's Pied-a'- terre" in the heart of the Historic French Quarter District. Tucked away in the courtyard of the historic ''Lodge Alley Inn '' with a fountain and gas lights to add to the quaintness of this very special place. This alley connects East bay to State Street.

Relax in your own walled and gated private courtyard, or sit on the balcony and just enjoy the sound of the fountain or flicker of the gas lights. Before walking steps to the finest restaurants Charleston has to offer. Only two blocks from the Old Straw Market and Water Front Park on the harbor. You are right where you need to be in this remarkable location to enjoy all downtown Charleston has to offer.

The townhouse has just been newly furnished and sports fabulous original wide plank heart of pine floors throughout. Two bedrooms upstairs with queen beds, private baths for both. A small balcony from the master bedroom with view of the fountain. New kitchen with top of the line appliances. There is a queen sleep sofa in the living room with use of half bath.

The townhouse works nicely for two couples.

    • What a super vacation condo in just the right location in Charleston! We stayed for 5 days with friends from Boston and it worked out great! The place is furnished beautifully and right in the center of things (esp if you like terrific restaurants!), but also very quiet. This is our first VRBO experience, but we will sure do it again and stay at Sharon and Tom's when we return to Charleston!

    • This is our second year in a row staying at the Johnson's town house, and we absolutely loved both experiences. The home is gorgeous and fabulously furnished--top to bottom-- and they've equipped it with everything you could need to feel at home in Charleston. Also, the location is second to none-- within walking distance of EVERYTHING! We originally chose this home for our 2008 Charleston trip instead of a hotel because it would provide a common area where we could reconnect with the friends we traveled with. It completely exceeded our expectations, so much so that we returned again this year and we hope to make it tradition for years to come. This home truly is a crucial piece of our Charleston experience. We love, love, LOVE the Johnson's pied a'terre!

    • Dear Sharon and Tom, Thank You so much for allowing us the opportunity to stay at your beautiful townhouse. It was perfect, top to bottom! Both of our daughters were exhausted, one just came home from being deployed and the other has been in training for 10 months. I really didnt expect them to want to just relax like they did though. It seemed like they didnt even want to leave the townhouse at all. We all had the most relaxing vacation ever and shared some very valuable family time. Thank you so much. I hope we can come back again and again...

    • Dear Sharon and Tom, We had a great time staying at your lovely condo. It is absolutely in the heart of the historic district. We took a self guided tour, that I had gleaned from the internet before we left, and traveled no more than 10 blocks from the condo. One person in our party does not walk well and we found great restaurants within the block. Loved Slightly North of Broad (SNOB), Magnolia, and High Cotton (didn't have the espresso martini though.) Not sure the bottle of bubbly was for us but we enjoyed it. There were so many restaurants (add Sticky Fingers and Justine's) that we didn't get to use your fully equipped kitchen. Parking is $20 per day but only a block away. Had we not planned trips to Savannah and Magnolia Plantation, we could easily have gotten by without a car. Took the cute trolley back from the theater next to the Aquarium. The trolley also runs to the Visitor's Center where so many tours start including the Gulah tour which was really worthwhile. Thanks again. Hank and Charlotte Rogers

    • Dear Sharon and Tom, Sorry its taking me so long to thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Our friends from Paris/Brazil all absolutely thought I was a genius for picking the perfect location and such a fabulous place. Our final day we cooked a 4 course dinner for the four of us. (NO PROBLEM) Your kitchen was so well equiped with top of the line everything. It truly was a pleasure and we all slept very well in the so comfy beds. Thank you Again, Shelley and Charles Langston

    • Thank you for having the perfect place! We had such a good time, and only had to go out the front door to hit the best restaurants! What a great location! We drank to you and Tom at High Cotton, as you advised; we really liked the Espresso Martini, but thought their Mojitos were even better! Hope we can do this again. Carol

    • Outstanding~Location~perfect! between High Cotton and Magnolia's and Straw Market. Who could ask for more! High Cotton..great Espresso Martini's, if that is not enough, the kitchen here has the makings for your own! Plenty of sugar, tea bags, coffee, baggies for left overs! Anything a kitchen person would need is right at your finger tips!! We have stayed at Mills House before, friends were at Market Pavillon......this spot is a keeper in all our books!! Furnishings extra clean and beds that you never wanted to get out of..You folks have thought of everything! all we needed was a change of clothes and our beverages!Look forward to returning again and again!!!! linda

    • Our family had a wonderful time at your home in Charleston. We walked all over, toured, ate and thoroughly enjoyed just being there, and then we could go home to relax in the comfort and elegance of 46F State Street. If you like food, history and walking it is a perfect location for a perfect vacation.

    • Thank you Sharon & Tom. Lovely place, beautifully and comfortably decorated, good beds, well-equipped baths/kitchen, private patio (great for coffee each morning) and the best location in town. Walking distance to everything, from the Battery to the aquarium. Around the corner from High Cotton, 2 blocks to the market and close to our very favorite restaurant, "Mistral" (excellent French food & jazz at Meeting & Market). Cumberland Parking 2 blocks away - ask for the 'overnight pass' ($12, midnight-to-midnight with in-and-out privileges). Definitely will return. Thanks again!!

    • What a beautiful home you have in Charleston. Everything was beautifully decorated, clean, warm, friendly and the perfect location. The obvious care you have taken to include everything we could need was so apparent. We would highly recommend your place and we will be back!
