We went to Charleston for Thanksgiving this year and stayed at the Carriage House. It was very comfortable, bedrooms were good size and walking distance to everything. We cooked Thanksgiving Dinner (bought a cooked turkey) and it worked out great- well equipped and 7 of us ate dinner in the house. Kira and Dewey were very helpful and we would highly recommend renting this property!

A perfect place to stay

We travel with another couple and our small dogs. This was the perfect place for us. It was convenient to everything, beautifully appointed, and so comfortable. The renovation pictures are amazing. With 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, there was plenty of room and privacy, too. The kitchen is gorgeous and had everything one could possibly need. Our dogs loved the fenced yard and the owner's dog, too. I highly recommend this unit.

My daughter and I loved our stay in the cottage house! From the minute we walked in, we could tell how well cared for it was. It was clean, comfortable and charming. The location was perfect for walking to downtown Charleston, which we did every evening for dinner, sightseeing, and shopping. I would definitely recommend the cottage house to anyone looking for a great place to stay while visiting Charleston. Kira & Dewey were fantastic to work with---we definitely hope to stay again soon!

My husband and I recently stayed here for our 25th anniversary trip. It was absolutely lovely, I can't think of anything that wasn't already thought of. The house is impeccably clean and well decorated and it was wonderful to come home to after a long day's walking around town. The photos are completely accurate (it actually looks even better than the photos). The kitchen is well appointed, lacking for nothing (although we didn't cook). The neighborhood is quiet and close to some great restaurants and the museum. Parking was not a problem, although we didn't need to drive often. It really felt like a home, not a hotel. Absolutely feel confident in making this your choice.

Great Wedding Weekend

We rented this cottage to have room to spread out over the weekend for our daughter's wedding. Instead of us trying to get 4 people ready in a hotel room with a hairstylist and photographer, we had more than enough room to spread out. We were able to park right at the door thanks to off street parking (and in Charleston....what a HUGE plus). We had a great time the first night with our daughter and new son-in-law just hanging out and playing scrabble and the second night was spent with our girls...kind of a last hurrah before we added a son. The kitchen was gorgeous with beautiful countertops and very nice appliances. Having 2 bathrooms was a lifesaver the morning of the wedding. The location was ideal, just a few minutes by car to anywhere we wanted to go and close enough to walk when we needed the exercise. The photo album of the construction history of the lovely main house and cottage are a must see when you stay. It is very apparent a lot of time, effort, caring and talent went into the remodel of this truly "Charleston" home. You absolutely can not go wrong staying here. It was a wonderful place that just added to the fond memories we have of the weekend our daughter got married. We will most definately be back and who knows...in a few years may even bring our grandchildren with us.

Perfect Place to Stay in Charleston

The carriage house appeared exactly as pictured on this site. It comes with everything you need and is in the center of it all. We were able to enjoy the local sites downtown, tour nearby plantations, and take in Folly Beach. Every meal was great- whether we cooked in the kitchen or stopped by a local place. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The cottage beats any hotel. We would definitely return again. Thanks Kira and Dewey! -Dana and Brian

Being a 1998 graduate of the College of Charleston and now living in Atlanta, GA, the return to Charleston is something we always greatly anticipate. This carriage/cottage is the perfect home away from home. The listing photos do not do the cottage any justice. Great attention to detail in every way is very evident in every room. Despite the brand new construction, the old charm is present. The master bath has a double shower head unrivaled by any other hotel or place we have stayed at. The full kitchen allows for eating in or staying for many many days. Kira & Dewey include every amenity you can think of. They are also very open to making any recomendation you may seek for restuarants, attractions, etc.... The location is right off Meeting and you can walk anywhere in downtown. It is a quick two block walk to King Street, to many great bars, shops and restaurants. If you need to head to the Battery they provide bikes or you can find a rickshaw taxi or regular cab in just minutes. Whether you travel with another couple, children or a small dog, this place is the one and only spot we will stay from here on out in Charleston. I highly recommend anyone to stay here.

We recently stayed at this property in Charleston and would strongly reccomend it to anyone. The accommodations were fantastic and Kira and Dewey could not have been more helpful. If we ever vacation in Charleston again we will definitely stay with them again.

Four of stayed at the house and were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The house was clean and well maintained and the off street parking was great to have. The Owner's were available to answer questions and were friendly without being obtrusive. The location was easily walkable to Market Street but not located in a noisy or high traffic area. The only negative is that, if you need access to wireless internet, there is only one spot in the house where it's available, a small desk in the front bedroom. I would definitely recommend this property for your stay.

My family of 4 (me, my husband and two children) could not have asked for a better location for our visit to Charleston. The cottage was clean, roomy and private. The pictures of the cottage truly reflect how the rooms look. The appliances are top of the line and the kitchen is amazing.The owners, Kira and Dewey, were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was in a perfect location for all of our adventures. We walked almost everywhere. Be sure to take tthe advice of the owners of where to eat. We loved Coast. (Although it is not on the list, for a burger you can't beat Five Guys.)
