Historical Cute and Comfy

Staying in this old Charleston home was fun! Yes it’s old and it creaks but I found that charming. Location is close to free bus stop if you don’t want to walk. Bed was super comfortable. Would stay again.

Cozy & Comfy

We stayed only one night but we would definitely stay again. House was easy to access and location was fantastic. Close enough to walk to King Street and enjoy the area. I saw other reviews saying it was loud at night but that was not our experience. It was quiet and relaxing. Thank you!

Classic Charleston home

We enjoyed our stay in beautiful Charleston. The house was such a classic style true to Charleston that we felt like we were part of the history. There was lots to see and explore nearby, and a quick drive to the hub of the city. We loved the small town feel of the neighborhood we were in and enjoyed the local coffee shop and bakery. Close to the downtown area but just enough out to not be in all the noise and congestion of the city.

Convenient location

Great location! Short walk to downtown and many restaurants. Rooms are comfortable, but there is not much space to hang out in the living room. Can also be noisy from street traffic, but they have sound machines in each room to help alleviate. Overall was a comfortable stay.

Mother/Daughter Trip

The homes of Charleston are definitely historic! This property was about 1.5 blocks away from the free bus stop to access downtown/historical areas with ease. The property matches the photos and the host was responsive. With many historic homes you will hear the footsteps of the renters in the upstairs unit but for us this was not an issue. We enjoyed our stay!

Very Nice Stay

Overall we had a great stay in Charleston. This was our first experience renting a Vrbo. The exterior of the home was a little bit more worn than the picture showed but we didn’t care. The inside was very nice though and was perfect for our stay. The host was very responsive and quick to help us out when we changed our minds and wanted early check-in after a long flight (we appreciated it!). It is a little farther of a walk from most of the main sights but Uber wasn’t a problem at all.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay in Charleston. The apartment was conveniently located near King St as well as the DASH bus service making it easy to get to downtown Charleston. The apartment was clean and quaint. While many of our meals were out we did eat a few times in the apartment. The table in the common area was un-level and there were no chairs surrounding it which made eating a challenge. All in all a good price for the local.

I have been travelling to Charleston for last 3 years while my daughter is a student at College of Charleston. This trip we needed a pet friendly home for an extended stay while she moved between rentals. This met every need we had - comfortable, convenient to restauants, clean and quiet. It was appropriately and reasonably priced. We had one minor maintenance issue which was resolved quickly and professionally. We will definitely book through here again.

Good location, needs TLC

Excellent for being able to walk around and enjoyed the quaint neighborhood. The space was very run down, porch is slanted and somewhat falling apart, outdoor furniture dirty and floor paint chipped up. If you have more than 1 vehicle they will not let you park there even though there is enough space. After several messages about parking and not finding a place nearby (they suggested one .7 miles away) they offered us a spot next door for an additional fee. It would have been helpful to have been offered this from the beginning rather than us having to stress about it after arriving. This was not the hospitality we typically get at VRBO and we have stayed in short term rentals all around the world.

Charming Charleston Home

We loved our stay in this historic Charleston home. The accommodations were clean and equipped with the perfect amount of linens, and kitchen equipment for a get away trip! The location was perfectly located around little shops, cafes and the shuttle service. It was about a 5-10 min walk to the main drag of King street. This is definitely an older vibe home but we enjoyed the stay!

Forgotten treasure

This could be such a great space but it’s missing the tlc every home in this cute neighborhood deserves. We stayed 4 nights and we each got one set of towels. The front door doesn’t stay shut without a deadbolt. The living room furniture could use an upgrade if you plan to sit for a bit. It’s in a great location! Lots of cute independent shops and restaurants.
