About this property

Cozy English Basement Apartment w/ Private Patio

Summary:

Relax on your private patio and enjoy the convenience of free parking and a fully stocked kitchen. This welcoming 3-bedroom, 3-bath garden-level apartment offers guests easy access to everything Charleston has to offer. Housed in a historic Charleston single home built in the late 1800s, the apartment is just steps from the city’s best shops and restaurants and within walking distance to MUSC and the College of Charleston.



The Space:

The apartment recently underwent a full renovation. Measuring 1,000 square feet, the apartment offers three bedrooms each featuring premium bedding and its own full bathroom with shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen and washer/dryer. A private outdoor sitting area on the patio offers visitors another space to spread out and enjoy the fresh air.



One complimentary parking spot is offered for guests in a private parking lot. Additional parking available at $20/day.



Operating Permit: OP2025-06531



Guest Access:

Guests can use the entire garden level unit and the fully private patio. There are no shared surfaces or spaces. We are a family owned and operated business and care very much for our guests experience. We are available to help with recommendations and planning. This apartment is on the lower level of the three-story property. The home features two additional 3 bed, 3 bath rentals on the first and second floors, which can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for larger groups. Please inquire if interested.



The Neighborhood:

This apartment is ideally located in a protected historic district in the heart of downtown Charleston, just a 5-minute walk to Upper King Street and surrounded by amazing restaurants and shops. Some of the top dining spots nearby include Husk, Chubby Fish, Circa 1886, Grill 225, and The Obstinate Daughter. Whether you choose to walk or take a quick Uber, downtown attractions are just minutes away, and you can easily grab a ride to one of the three nearby island beaches, all just 20 minutes away.



Getting Around:

The Charlestonian is just blocks from Upper King Street, making it easy to explore the city on foot. For a scenic ride, hop on the free DASH shuttle, which runs along King Street with stops at popular attractions. Bike rentals and pedicab taxis are also great ways to take in the sights. If you’re in the mood for a beach day, both Folly Beach and Sullivan’s Island are just a 20-minute drive away, offering beautiful shorelines and a perfect escape from the city. Plus, we offer free parking in our lot right across the street for your convenience.

Best stay in Charleston!

We stayed with 5 girls for a bachelorette's party in Charleston and it was the best location for walking to King Street and other fun locations. It had 2 restaurants close by, a cute bakery and breakfast bagel spot. The place had plenty of room and the management team is the best. Communication was great and they did a great job with questions and items that came up.

Perfect Escape from the Heat!

Loved having three bathrooms for our girls trip, with cold water in the fridge when we arrived on a VERY hot August day. We were greeted when we arrived and were even able to check in a few hours early, because your place was ready. Everything was very seamless and the location was perfect for walking to get coffee + bagels in the morning and grabbing a salad + sandwich for lunch.

Perfect for girls getaway

We have been coming to Charleston annually for 15 years. Sometimes with husbands but more often with girlfriends. We prefer VRBO to hotels for the benefits of common space for gathering. We loved this spot for the three of us. Cozy and in a great area for walking to so many spots around the historic district, restaurants snd shopping. Will definitely be back!

First timers

This was our first time in Charleston and we had an absolute blast. The property was beautiful. The “bungalow” (what we named it) was so adorable! The portion of the house that we stayed in was smaller, but enough room for 3 couples to sleep after a long day of exploring. The manager pleasantly greeted us once we arrived. Overall it was a great trip and we will be back!

Charming place, excellent location.

Came for a long weekend with friends and loved our stay. The six of us were very comfortable and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Our host was helpful, attentive and accommodating. The place is only a few blocks away from King St so we walked a lot which we enjoyed since we wanted to explore the city. The kitchen could use some more items for cooking (cutting board, tongs) but overall the place was well stocked, very clean, well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Charleston!

Very industrial modern vibe with every inch of the small space used efficiently. Great off street parking. This is a pretty space to serve as home base while you are out enjoying the city!
