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, standing seam copper roof, copper guttering, original moldings, plasterwork, old glass windows, and solid panel doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. It`s the real deal!

- Landscaped parking for 1 vehicle.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
We are "old" Charlestonians, married 50 years if that tells you about us! We met in college, married and now have 3 children, 5 grandchildren. We have travelled a lot. We discovered VRBO in Europe and realized it's the best way to go. Upon returning home from our 17 year sailboat odyssey, and having spent time in a number of vrbos, we were happy to become host instead of guest. We have been converting our long term apartment rentals into short term rentals. It has ben an intense and interesting project.

We always preferred to stay in a place that was "in town" close to the action, walkable. But we also cared about being in a place where the host shows they cared about style and design. We have really enjoyed having the opportunity to combine great space with gorgeous decor, convenience and comfort.

Why they chose this property

This is a typical Charleston, beautiful house with high ceilings, gorgeous floors, fabulous porches located in the very desirable Cannonborough neighborhood. The house lends itself perfectly to short term rental because of its quality, its location, its versatility and its space.

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

This apartment is the flagship of St Philip Square. The entire complex is a fabulous collection of historic properties that offer high end, well appointed, attractive and comfortable accommodations. Because we have such a diverse group of unique properties we can offer the perfect setting for a small family, a big group of friends, a family reunion, a wedding party (the whole wedding party) a business retreat.
This particular apartment has designed with "hospitality" in mind. We have a lovely typical Charleston living room with fireplace and mantel with grand windows and opening into a convenient dining room/kitchen area with attractive quartz bar, elegant cabinets, full equipment and storage.

The apartment can accommodate the parents, the bridesmaids/groomsmen, the guests who can slip into the living room for the night with its clever full bathroom. The bridesmaid or groomsmen can escape up to the top floor with multiple single beds, clever bathrooms with lots of space, charming windows.

You would chose this apartment if you were hosting. If you want to be in a pretty place. If you want new, modern kitchen and bathrooms in an historic Charleston house. If you want to people watch from the piazza. If you want to walk a block or two south, north, east or west to a great restaurant, a fun bar, a unique shop. Or if you want to park your car and leave it. Or if you want to park your car and have it right by your side when you want to go to a beach or a plantation.
