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!

*If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*

*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

Host profile image
We bought this property in a group of historic houses on St Philip Street in 1997 and first rented to college students while we travelled throughout Europe on our sailboat for 17 years. During that time the market and the area have changed tremendously. VRBO has opened up the world to vacation renting. This building is in the ideal spot In Charleston as this area has exploded into the favorite restaurant, bar scene in Charleston, in the midst of boutiques and historic sites.

Why they chose this property

This historic building features original woodwork and lovely pizzas giving our guests an authentic experience of being in a typical Charleston single house.

St Philip Square uniquely offers 10 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

The free off-street parking, the special location, the outstanding management, the high ceilings and pretty woodwork, the striking decor and the updated kitchen and bathrooms are always appreciated by our guests.
