We just returned from a 3 day stay at this B&B. Though attached to the rear of the main house, we found the cottage to be quiet and private. Alice and David are caring owners. Breakfast items were in our fridge upon arrival (muffins, cake, bagels, juice, wine, etc.) The studio type cottage is clean and inviting. It was cooler and somewhat rainy during our stay, so we did not use the pool or spa, but it is a lovely oasis. It was nice to have an off street parking place. We found no need to use our car as we were in walking distance of all the downtown restaurants and places of interest. We enjoyed lunch at Jestine's Kitchen and Gaulart & Maliclet, and dinner at Hank's and 82 Queen. The Charleston Museum (on the trolley stop) is quite interesting. The stop for the free trolley was roughly 5 blocks away on Broad St. near Meeting in front of the courthouse, and runs about every 15 minutes. We were able to obtain a map from the driver with its stops and schedule. Wear comfy shoes for lots of walking, but that makes it an adventure. Lots of Charleston site information in the cottage. Ample closet space, king bed, usable kitchenette & dining area. Bathroom has walk-in shower. It was very peaceful there. We walked everywhere and felt safe doing so. This B&B is a winner! Thanks, Alice & DavidRecommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. It was an absolutely magical place. We adored the location, which is ideally located. Not only is it very convenient to walk to the shopping areas on King Street, but it is also very convenient to all the restaurants. I cannot stress how perfect this location is! Also, the landlords - David and Alice - are amazingly king and accomodating. Do yourself a favor and book this place right now.Owner response: Thank you so much! Come back for your anniversary! We will love to have ya'll back.

We stay in Charleston 4-5 times a year. We always stay off East Bay in the heart of the city. This B&B is a little off the beaten path, but gave us a whole new side of downtown Charleston to experience. We found new restaurants and felt like we had our own little apartment just for us. We usually go to Destin every year for the fourth, but will be staying here from now on. The pool was wonderful to come back and realx in the heat of the day. Can't wait to stay here again!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Our whole experience in the lovely carriage house was exceptional. The pool was a welcome retreat from touring, and the location's proximity to the historical area perfect: nearby, but quiet. We would certainly recommend this property to others, and if we were in the area, we would surely stay there again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We stayed in the Carriage House for the last five days of our Honeymoon. The location is great. We walked to many of Charleston's attractions and restaurants. The only advice I have for potential guests, is to realize the Carriage House is actually attached to the main home on the property. We were under the assumption that it was a separate building, but it's actually tacked onto the back of the main house. We still felt fairly secluded, but would have appreciate this info before we booked. The room is very nice, as is the bed and bathroom. The pool is pretty and we enjoyed the hot tub on a couple of occasions. The owners were helpful and accommodating, and the breakfast was lovely. We would suggest this place to anyone, but remember, it's not a separate structure.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Extraordinary property--the perfect place to relax --looking forward to a return visit as soon as possible. The owner was so kind and accommodating, yet totally non-intrusive. The booking agent left no detail out in the reservation process either. The cottage was lovely, and I've never seen a place that provided absolutely everything, plus so many special touches. The homemade goodies and stocked refrigerator items were perfect. The pool and garden area could not have been more beautiful. It's a place that you don't want to LEAVE.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We stayed at the cottage for our honeymoon in July 2011. The location was private, but close enough to walk to most Charleston attractions: King Street, the Battery, etc. We only used our car one day to drive out to Sullivan's Island. For the other two days of our stay, we walked everywhere, and the shaded garden and pool were great after long days of walking in the July heat. We would definitely recommend this cottage to other couples looking for lodging in the Charleston area!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much! We love romance! and the cottage surely is the place for it. and, what better city than Charleston? thanks, and please come back soon! Sara Edi

The attached cottage was pretty and quaint! Only thing I felt that wasn't accuarate was that it's more of a studio than a one bedroom cottage. That was not a problem for us...however if you are staying with someone who perhaps will be sleeping on the couch, there is no privacy whatsoever in terms of sleeping arrangement. The property was beyond cleaned and maintained! The home, the cottage, the grounds...pool, etc. all charming. The owners were gracious with us, and greeted us warmly upon arrival and were friendly but not intrusive. Left wonderful morning goodies in the cottage for us to munch on during our stay. Great having use of the patio and grill as well. I would most certainly recommend this proprty to friends. Especially parties of couples. Be prepared to bring walking shoes. Charleston was fairly laid out (not smaller like Savannah) and we did quite a bit of walking. The cottage is not at the epi-center of the action it's down a lovely residential area so you'll have to be prepared to walk a few blocks to the Pineapple Fountain, etc. Lovely!Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

This is the perfect little bed and breakfeast for our honeymoon. We looked at many places in Myrtle Beach, but then fond this nice quiet place in Charleston and we are so glad we did. The bed and breakfeast is in a quiet neighborhood in beautiful Historic Downtown Charleston. Plenty of things to do within walking distance; nice walk on the harbor, carriage rides, the market, resturants and much more. The owners were very nice and helpful with recommendations on activities and dining. Also great communication and recommendations prior to the visit. Nice beaches, aquarium, aircraft carries and more withing short driving distance. There was so much to do we ran out of time to do everything we wanted. We highly reccommend this for couples, quiet and rommantic. We loved Charleston and plan on a return visit soon.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Hey guys, so glad your honeymoon was wonderful! and that you were pleased with the cottage. very romantic, I know. So, come back next year! thanks, Sara Edi
