About this property

Charming South of Broad Kitchen House

I find it necessary to reserve the right to ask for identification prior to reserving. I am now going from instant booking to a 24 hour period to ascertain that you can provide identification should that be necessary. I am aware that unlike Airbnb, VRBO no longer vets their guests and it is up to the host.

We are one of very few licensed B&B South of Broad. This charming 1830 kitchen house is located in historic Charleston in the most desirable "South of Broad" district. The location is quiet and one block from the Charleston harbor and one half block from beautiful White Point Gardens. It is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
The health and well-being of our guests is our top priority and we have implemented strict cleaning and disinfecting protocol to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19. Our cleaning team has deployed enhanced cleaning procedures, disinfecting all hard surfaces, spending extra time focusing efforts on cleaning and disinfecting “high-touch” contact points including but not limited to: doorknobs, locks, thermostats, light switches, fan pulls, stair railings, remotes, cabinet handles, and toilets.

A large first floor contains a living / dining area featuring two large fireplaces. A galley kitchen features a Wolf range and hood, Subzero refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher and Carrera marble counters. The second floor offers a bedroom with queen bed, a renovated hall bath, a cozy den and a sunlit sunporch, perfect for a study or relaxing in the late afternoon. The third floor offers a master suite with a queen size bed, walk in closet, washer/ dryer and a beautiful bathroom featuring a beautiful marble and glass shower.
We are located 20-30 minutes to 6 beaches. Enjoy a day at the beach.
Because of steps and the house is not child proofed, children under 3 are not allowed.
Off street parking for one (1) car is provided. The driveway is quite narrow and should you not feel comfortable navigating it, we will leave a parking pass for the street. No events are allowed. The courtyard is available from 9AM to 9PM.
Please note that we adhere to a strict 4:00 check in unless an early check in has been previously approved. We provide parking for one auto. The sleeper sofa is not available for sleeping. Please note house rules before reserving. House rules are adhered to strictly and any infringement will vacate your stay without refund. We reserve the right to ask for identification prior to check in.

Beautiful and great location! The neighborhood is lovely and steps from the Battery waterfront garden. About a 1/2 - 1 mile walk to King street shops and restaurants or easy Uber ride. Comfortable beds. Need to be able to navigate steps, but because the bedrooms are on separate floors, it affords great privacy.

This was a great property in a lovely residential neighborhood. In the description I believe they state it’s one of the only rental properties allowed in that neighborhood and you can tell - it’s quiet and beautiful with a distinct lack of commercialism, which is refreshing! The owners were very communicative - we had a small A/C issue on the third floor and they were immediately responsive and came over themselves to help fix the issue. We were in town for a wedding and would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Carlson

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Emily
I like sharing our beautiful, historic neighborhood. I reserve the right to request verification of government identification prior to reserving our property due to recent issues and the knowledge that VRBO no longer does vetting of guests. This is for your protection and for our property. Please read house rules prior to reserving. Serious violation of house rules will be forcing your vacating the property without a refund. I have hosted for 8 years and have never had an issue until recently and I feel this added protection is necessary.

Why they chose this property

This property is legally licensed in the city as a short term rental. It has passed many requirements to be licensed.

The kitchen house is a historic kitchen house to the main house that was constructed in 1830. The main floor has two large fireplaces that were originally used for the cooking / laundry for the main house.

The kitchen house is very charming with lovely windows. The entire house has very recently under gone a complete renovation with high end appliances and marble counter tops and bathroom fixtures.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the quiet south of broad neighborhood, close to parks and beautiful gardens. We are within walking distance to King Street with fabulous shopping and many fine restaurants. There are several beaches nearby as well as a wonderful aquarium, children's museum and Charleston Museum, providing many hours of entertainment. Because we appreciate our quiet neighborhood and we're sure you will too, no events are allowed. The outdoor courtyard is limited to 9PM. Off street parking is available for one (1) car.
