About this property

Downtown Charleston – Walk to Dining & Shopping

Summary:

This welcoming 3-bedroom, 3-bath apartment offers visitors convenient access to all the city has to offer. Located on the first floor of a historic Charleston site, and set back from the street with off-street parking, the rental overlooks candy-colored historic homes that dot the neighborhood and provides a true Charleston experience for guests. Walkable to MUSC, the College of Charleston, King Street’s most popular retail and restaurants, and more.



The Space:

The apartment recently underwent a full renovation and spans 1,000 square feet. Each of the three bedrooms features premium bedding and its own full bathroom with a shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all the amenities of a boutique hotel, including high-end towels and linens, bath products, hair dryers, an iron, Wi-Fi, and cable with streaming services.



Guests will enjoy the convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen, an in-unit washer and dryer, and a classic Charleston single-style porch for enjoying the nearly year-round comfortable temperatures Charleston has to offer. The porch also features an outdoor picnic table, providing an additional space for dining or relaxing al fresco.



The property includes one complimentary off-street parking space, with additional parking available for $20/day. This apartment is on the first floor of the three-story property, which also has two other 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rentals—one on the garden level and the other on the top floor—that can be rented together for larger groups. Please inquire if interested!



Operating Permit: OP2025-06530



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to all areas shown in the photos, including their private porch and off-street parking space.



The Neighborhood:

The apartment is situated in the lively Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, where guests can easily shop for tailored menswear at Indigo & Cotton right next door, or indulge in delicious baked goods from Sugar Bakeshop just across the street. The area is also home to some of Charleston's most renowned restaurants, with many within easy walking distance. In fact, a recent Thrillist article listed 11 of the city's top eateries that are just a short stroll from the apartment, including O-Ku, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, Chez Nous, The Darling Oyster Bar, The Grocery, Indaco, The Ordinary, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Warehouse, and Leon's Oysters. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or an upscale meal, you’ll find something nearby to satisfy your cravings.



Getting Around:

Located just three blocks from Upper King Street, most guests prefer to walk and explore the city. The beach is only a 20-minute drive away, and for added convenience, there is a free city shuttle that runs along King Street (just three blocks away) to popular stops. Bike rentals are available nearby, or you can try a pedicab taxi for a fun, unique way to get around. We offer free parking on-site or in the lot we manage directly across the street.

The perfect girls getaway

We had a great time here, we had 5 girls and the 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms was perfect for us. We loved the living space and the newly added speaker that we could easily Bluetooth our phones too. It was only a short walk to King's street so we were able to pop to downtown anytime we liked. Everyone was so friendly, I would recommend to anyone looking for a clean, spacious place to stay with a great location!
