Additionally, a half block down the street, we have another duplex with the Poppy Suite (top floor of grey duplex-3bd/1ba w/two balconies) and the Isla Suite (first floor-4bd/2ba w/porch), both of which share a professionally turfed courtyard. Be sure to check out the individual listings for a full list of amenities.
QUIET HOURS Please note that this listing is situated on the top floor of a beautifully restored historic duplex. Although extensive renovations have been carried out, it is possible to hear occasional noise from the unit below. To ensure a peaceful and comfortable environment, sound machines have been thoughtfully provided in each bedroom. We kindly request that all guests show consideration towards one another by honoring our community's designated "quiet hours" between 10pm and 7am. By being mindful of noise levels during these times, we can maintain a harmonious atmosphere and ensure a restful stay for everyone.
EVENTS Access to the property is restricted to only those individuals included in the reservation, unless prior arrangements have been made and agreed upon.

PARKING You will have one parking space in our private lot. Should your group want additional parking, please contact us to discuss options! We also have one Tesla charger which would need reserved ahead of time.
PRE-APPROVED DOGS WELCOME We wholeheartedly embrace our furry friends! We gladly welcome pups to join you during your stay, with an additional fee of $80 per dog, and a maximum of two dogs per reservation. Because you will be staying in a recently renovated unit within a property that may have other guests, we kindly request that all dogs are well-behaved, trained, and considerate towards fellow humans. To maintain cleanliness and hygiene, we kindly ask that pets refrain from accessing the bed, uncovered furniture, and encourage the use of a crate when you are not present, if you believe it is necessary. By bringing your pet, you acknowledge and accept full responsibility and liability for their actions and any potential damages.
For the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, we kindly request that dogs are not allowed in the backyard. The yard has been professionally turfed to provide a pristine and pleasant outdoor space. Dog urine can create an unpleasant odor and potentially damage the turf. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping the backyard clean and odor-free for everyone's enjoyment.
CAMERA SECURITY To ensure the safety and security of our property, we have installed exterior cameras. We want to reassure our guests that the footage captured by Ring cameras is strictly confidential and does not violate their privacy expectations. It is important to note that tampering with or obstructing the cameras is strictly prohibited. Any guest found attempting to disable or obscure the cameras may face immediate eviction without a refund. Our intention is solely to maintain a secure environment for everyone's peace of mind.
INCLEMENT WEATHER We have a strict cancellation policy in place. Refunds will only be issued if mandatory evacuations are ordered by The National Weather Service or local government authorities. Please keep in mind that refunds will not be provided if inclement weather in other states prevents guests from reaching Charleston. We highly recommend travelers to consider obtaining travel insurance, especially during months when weather conditions may impact their stay. Furthermore, in the unlikely event of power outages, internet disruptions, or any other situations beyond our control caused by local storms, we will make every effort to resolve the issues promptly. However, we regret that we cannot offer refunds for any inconveniences caused by such circumstances.

From check-in to check-out the process was great. The rooms are nicely decorated. Great dedicated parking in back. Necessities are provided. You’re in a great location to walk to cafes, restaurants and delis. Places like Vern’s, Chubby Fish and Local Provisions are nearby. Easy to walk to King Street. Publix is nearby. Would definitely recommend to friends and family for their stay in Charleston!
Great location and perfect size for a weekend getaway! It is a beautiful and historical home but we do wish there was a small disclaimer about how noisy it is when someone is staying in the space above. You can hear every step and even conversations from the people above. We would have brought ear plugs if we would’ve known. There was also some dried blood stains in the bathroom when we arrived (I have pictures if needed). we aren’t fussy so cleaned it up but wasn’t as clean as we hoped. Really nice host

Thank you for your kind words about the location and the home, and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and appreciate your note about us as hosts.
When you reached out about the noise, we immediately contacted the guests in the unit above to remind them of our house rules and also had earplugs delivered in hopes of making your stay more comfortable. In a shared historic home, there can occasionally be some sound between floors, and we always do our best to ensure all guests respect quiet hours.
We were also surprised to hear your comment regarding cleanliness, as our team takes great pride in preparing the home and we frequently receive feedback from guests that it is one of the cleanest places they’ve stayed.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate it and wish you safe and happy travels ahead.
The Charles Suite was a clean, comfortable & charming place for my daughters and I to stay for a few days in Charleston. Brandi is an attentive host whoAnswered all of my questions, gave great local recommendations & even helped us troubleshoot any issues we had while we wereThere. The location was great - quiet and accessible to downtown. The parking spot was also a plus! Definitely we would recommend !!
This felt like my home away from home. It was clean and tucked away in the most quaint neighborhood, yet still close to so many things downtown. Everything was a short drive! I also appreciated the communication I received from Brandy and Chad. They were quick to respond and answered all my questions throughly, Definitely recommend this home as your next place to stay if you’re looking in Charleston!
The Charles Suite is a street level, 2 bedroom, very neat and tidy rental. The owners were very accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the Charles Suite for your visit to Charleston, SC
Everything was comfortable and felt like home.We didn't have a pet with us but, the back lot and sidewalks are perfect for walking one.The street was a quiet place at night.Our host was very professional and helpful.The only thing I would warn older guest of is that the front steps are steep. With that said, the owner/host have a very secure handrail in place.My wife and I definitely recommend your place to anyone coming to Charleston.Glen & Sheryl Halbert Ben Wheeler, TX
We were a little disappointed we couldn’t get a late check out and had to sit at the airport extra hours

Our check-in and check-out hours are clearly listed on our page. We have a dedicated cleaning team with a set schedule, and at the time of your departure they were already assigned to clean other units. It would not have been fair to ask them to rearrange their day for a late check-out. Additionally, we had a scheduled fire inspection on the day of your departure, and since your request came in at 11:00 p.m. the night before, we unfortunately weren’t able to accommodate it because we also could not rearrange the fire marshal's schedule. Thank you for understanding!
We had a wonderful stay! Clean home, everything you could need from the kitchen to the bathroom. Loved the location! Brandy was great to communicate with!
We really enjoyed the house! It was perfect for the 3 of us girls to getaway and have some fun! We were a little disappointed in the shared backyard area. Didn’t look as nice as it was in the photos. The listing didn’t mention that dogs couldn’t be in the backyard area, unless we missed it. It was only mentioned to us at check in time. We would have considered an alternate place with a backyard for dogs. But other than that, we enjoyed ourselves and the house was very accommodating for what we needed and location wise in Charleston!!

Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re so glad you and your friends enjoyed the house, the location, and your time in Charleston! We did want to mention that the listing very clearly states that the backyard is a shared space and that dogs aren’t permitted there, so I’m sorry if that was overlooked before booking. We do our best to keep all details transparent so guests know exactly what to expect.

Disliked: Location
Was a bit disappointed with our stay. House is very old and has a smell. The neighbor is not the best. I thought that the marketing of the house was misleading. It’s advertised as a luxury stay, in reality it’s not. Also there’s no backyard as shown on the pictures, that was very disappointing as well. The pictures are from a different property.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry your 1 night stay didn’t meet expectations. With over 300 reviews across our booking sites averaging 9.8/10 stars, the majority of our guests rave about the property. It’s an unfortunate you didn’t reach out during your less-than-12-hour visit, as we live just two doors down and could have quickly addressed any concerns. The backyard is indeed there and noted in the check-in instructions…. perhaps it was missed due to your late arrival and early departure. It is exactly as pictured and next to where you parked- you just needed to open the gate. We take pride in our accurate listings and the vibrant neighborhood, with amazing restaurants just a five-minute walk away. Chubby Fish! Allora! Vern’s! Kaltura! If there’s anything we can clarify, please feel free to reach out directly instead of leaving a review as your first form of communication with your host.
We had a wonderful stay at the property. It was beautiful and looks as if recently refurbished. The location was great, easy to get everywhere and had off street parking! Would definitely book again should our travels bring us back to Charleston.
