This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!
*Pet Policy: Only Small Pets under 25 pounds (maximum of 2) allowed with prior written approval ($200 non-refundable fee per pet).Must have authorization prior to reservation.*
St. Philip Square offers a city block of historic elegance right in the heart of Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough district. Just one block to King Street, walkable to Charleston’s world renowned dining, attractions and shopping along King Street.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Molony
We have been listing our properties through VRBO for 4 years and have also rented places from Rome, to Camden, Maine to Paris and Normandy France. We are Charlestonians who have crossed the ocean on our sailboat. We love to travel and we appreciate VRBO both as owners and renters.
Why they chose this property
This property is a beautiful old historic Charleston house that is located in a dynamic and exciting area of the city. It has great access to all the Charleston treasures, offers parking, comfort and convenience.
St Philip Square uniquely offers 8 properties within a "square" that opens onto a shared parking area. Each apartment is a separate unit and has its own qualities. It is the perfect opportunity for groups of all sizes to organize a joint rental but each apartment is separate and its own place. The VRBO numbers are listed here:
1446527. 1531369. 1351757. 1662029. 834186. 7841346. 7841344. 567555
If you put these numbers into a VRBO search without dates you will be able to view each listing.

What makes this property unique
Location, location, location!! But also tasteful charm, comfort and convenience.
We are in the "short term rental overlay" established by the city and this neighborhood which guarantees we are legal and safe for you to book. Moreover, this property is closer to Calhoun Street and South of Broad than other legal short term rentals. You can't always tell the difference online. This is a fine building that won awards in 1999 for its outstanding historic renovation. You will be pleased when you make this your choice.
