About this property

Luxurious & Historic Apartment Downtown Charleston

Summary:

No detail was overlooked in the renovation of this historic home in Charleston's Cannonborough neighborhood, featuring beautifully restored hardwood floors, a custom-kitchen with high-end finishes, refurbished claw foot tub, original beam work & more.



This second-floor rental features a king bed with all the comforts of a boutique hotel (high-end linens, quality bath products & towels, hair dryer, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen.



The Space:

Set back from the street, this second floor apartment is accessible by spiral stairs. The 1 King bedroom suite features a full bathroom, full kitchen, and living area. It provides a true Charleston experience for all guests. Easily walkable to MUSC, College of Charleston, King Street’s most popular retail and restaurants, & more.

The property has free off-street parking in our lot just across the street from the suite.



Operating Permit: OP2025-06529



Guest Access:

You will be able to access the entire space. No sharing of spaces or surfaces with other guests. To access the space from the driveway, walk down the brick sidewalk on the left side of the house to the rear. Go up the spiral stair to the deck to access the space. If you have any concerns, of course we are happy to help you with luggage going up the stairs! You also have access to a shared patio on property with big Green Egg charcoal grill, charcoal being complimentary of course. *Please note this rental is located on the second floor and only accessible by spiral staircase!



The Neighborhood:

Visitors can enjoy convenient dining options directly next door at Southbound and Ladles Soup across from the apartment. The home is set in Cannonborough, an inviting downtown area blending historic and stylish residential homes. It’s steps away from the College of Charleston, as well as Upper King Street’s eateries and shopping.



Getting Around:

We are only 3 blocks from Upper King Street, so most guests prefer to walk and explore the city. The beach is 15 minutes away by car. There is also a free shuttle offered by the city that runs along King Street (3 blocks away) to popular stops. Bike rentals are available nearby or you might enjoy trying a pedicab taxi. We offer free parking on site or in the lot we manage across the street.



Other Things to Note:

We are three blocks from King Street, right in the middle of all Charlestonian activity. Incredible restaurants such as Southbound, Verns, 167 Raw, Malagon, Indaco, and Azur. Great places to have drinks are even closer at places like Felix, Stars, Babas, and Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street, such as coastal Italian at Allora or creative Indian at Rivayat. If you want the full Charleston experience, a walking tour or carriage tour is a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter daily and you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.

Exceeded our expectations

Great property, interesting mix of restaurants & single family homes as neighbors. Quiet setting only a few minutes of walking to the activity of King Street. Very friendly town & food scene exceptional. Only regret is that we could only stay a few days next time we need a longer vacation in Charleston with Thr Chaestonian as home base. .

We loved our stay! I’m a stickler about cleanliness of rentals and this unit was so clean. The couch was comfy, the linens on the bed were nice, the location was great. We traveled with our 18 month old and the owners graciously provided a high chair, pack n play, and toys which were delivered to the room for us. It worth noting that the entrance to this unit is up a spiral staircase but it gave us no issues as able bodied adults. Would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful stay at the Charlestonian

The Charlestonian was beautifully decorated, clean and in a perfect location. We were within walking distance to many restaurants and a short drive to all the beaches. The bed is very comfortable and all sheets/towels were provided which made it very convenient and easy to pack. We would absolutely stay here again.

I liked the way the property was decorated and it was in a very good location. The only thing we didn’t like was the circular outside staircase to the outside. A bit difficult on our old bodies.!Web would come back but would want a ground floor unit.
