Saint Philip Square is an award-winning collection of 6 historic buildings meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. “M3” is one of seventeen unique rentals. The grounds feature outdoor garden areas with fountains, dining areas, fire tables and barbecues. In the evenings, this oasis sparkles with outdoor lighting, making it the perfect place for nightcaps after a day of exploring.

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 is very difficult to achieve in new construction. This is the real deal!

We had a girls trip with five best friends, and this place was absolutely perfect for us. They literally thought of everything - from extra batteries to dishwasher and laundry pods, plus both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig (thankfully, I’m a drip-coffee person, so that made my morning!).The home was cozy, spotless, and so well designed. Every inch of space was utilized efficiently, yet it still felt warm and charming. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, the showers and tile work were beautiful, and the decor had such thoughtful touches throughout.This isn’t where you go for “luxury,” but it truly feels special - clean, comfortable, and inviting. The location was great, the home had everything we needed, and we all agreed: it’ll be hard to find another rental that meets this standard. The bar is officially set high! Highly recommend and would 100% stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and modern with a lovely old house feel. Plenty of dishes. The property as well lighted. Would definitely stay here again. Only comment, the upstairs bedroom/bath with the twin beds could use a mirror. Aside from that, perfect!

Perfect location for bachelorette party

We rented this place for a bachelorette party (30 year olds) and the location is perfect! Very walkable to king st for shopping/dinner/going out. Easy Uber ride to/from the beach and airport. They had everything you would need in the kitchen and the air conditioning worked VERY well for a trip in the humid summertime. Would stay here again without hesitation!

Friends Weekend in New Orleans

Our stay at 3M worked beautifully for our group of 7 women! The location is convenient to the historic district, great restaurants and shopping. It is within a 15-30 minute walk of most things you would want to see. But, good parking was available for cars if you were driving. The outside common areas provided great tables and firepit areas. It was very clean, well-appointed, cutely decorated and had good amenities. Jamie, the agent, did a good job ommunicating with us. The upstairs of 3M is a loft-style slanted roof that I found charming and cozy, but anyone over 6ft might want to sleep in one of the downstairs bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
Bill and Jacquelin are lifelong Charlestonians who have raised our family in Charleston. We are passionate about everything "Charleston"--history, culture, architecture. We spent 20 years on our sailboat in Europe, staying in VRBO places whenever we could. While we love Europe, we feel Charleston gives you the best European experience in America but also offers the best of modern American life. We bought the properties at SaintPhilipSquare in 1996 and began converting them to short term rental in 2010 because we believe these historic properties give visitors the best opportunity to live like a Charlestonian. We love the VRBO concept and always stay in VRBO properties when we travel.

Jamie, our capable manager for over 25 years, is the "magic" of SaintPhilipSquare as you will find from the reviews.

Why they chose this property

SaintPhilipSquare is THE place to be. Each "abode" is separate and unique but each one is supported by the team at SaintPhilipSquare and has the opportunity to combine with others or be alone.

SPS is in the heart of the upper King vibrant "happening" part of town. The location cannot be beat. We are one short block from King St but we are also only 1/3 mile to Calhoun St. Many properties you see in this neighborhood are actually a lot further away. than you might see. When you enjoy a drink on the porch, then walk around the corner to a fabulous restaurant, you quickly realize you have made the best choice.

We have historic properties in a contained area--charming authentic Charleston houses. We have carefully selected each item in each dwelling for its beauty, function and quality. We wanted to offer a taste of Charleston--beautiful mantels and porches with a few of our favorite antiques. But we are also open to new, modern ideas and have introduced them with the advice of our professional designer. But always we have tired to keep these properties personal, real, comfortable, interesting, stylish and "cool". We are excited to be offering this space for short term rental.





Our apartments have all received rave reviews for their amenities and for being drop dead attractive.

What makes this property unique

Cozy, attractive space, with historic charm...
4 private bedrooms each with own bathroom,
