About this property

Timeless Renovated Efficiency in Downtown Charleston

Summary:
Here you can live by relaxing both indoors and outdoors.

The Space:
Summons the expression of truly refined Ante-Bellum experience with all modern amenities. In the kitchen enjoy the timeless La CornueFe gas oven and cooktop range from Saint-Ouen l'Aumone, France served by a whisper quiet, made in the USA Vent-a-hood. Here you can celebrate the glorious culinary traditions of the Old World using only top-of-the-line All-Clad cookware and utensils. Stemless red and white wine glasses were not overlooked. All coffee mugs, and glasses are made of clear insulated glass along with the serving plates, salad plates and bowls so rest assured every item is sparkling. Tidy up after a meal using the stainless bridge faucet in the farmhouse porcelain sink. All items are stored using efficient Rev-a-shelf hardware to house the spices, cutlery, flatware and accessories. Of course, the cabinetry ,kitchen island and 8 foot tall barn doors are hand made on-site using only heart pine sourced during the renovation of the house, from the house.

Crystal-clear Samsung high-definition 4k smart television with Xfinity cable. Netflix, Amazon video, and Hulu are intuitively available at the touch of the remote and are complimentary.

The bathroom is tiled using the original re-purposed slate from Vermont dating back to when the house was built by shipwrights in 1851. The original standing-seam tin front porch roofing was salvaged and is applied to the wall as the backsplash to the hand-made heart pine vanity with hand-hammered nickel-plated vessel sink. The bathroom features a slate-tiled walk-in shower with Kohler rain-head showers. The water closets were sourced from Kent, England to provide a period feel from the Old-World.

In every bedroom , I provide you with a sound machine as well as smart-charging stations for your electronic devices. Enjoy the combination of cypress ship-lap wood walls and heart pine throughout. Most, if not all, heart pine material used dates back to approximately the year 1600.

Outdoor-
Remember that before the advent of air conditioning, Charlestonians tended to congregate on their porches to socialize and spend time to enjoy a cool sea breeze. There are rocking chairs on the porch making it a great place to relax with a book while watching the happenings on Cannon Street. But you do not have to settle for just one porch.. you have a rear porch and patio to enjoy as well. The patio has a lounge chair sofa with an Acorn barbecue grill, all utensils and charcoal provided.

Permit: OP2025-06529

Guest Access:
Outdoor patio with Acorn barbecue grill, all outdoor cooking utensils provided.

The Neighborhood:
The Cannonborough neighborhood is an inviting downtown area that blends classic architecture with a modern lifestyle. From here, it's easy walking distance to historic locations and a selection of delicious restaurants, cafes, and bakeries.

Getting Around:
There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are very common. You will not face any delay catching an uber.

Other Things to Note:
We are three blocks from King Street. Cannon Street dead ends into King where you would be right in the middle of all the activity - many nice restaurants such as The Darling, the Grocery, Ordinary, Endaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Midtown, Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street. Pick the experience - fine dining to relaxed outdoor dining, it is here. You could look up Hominy Grill, Chez Nous, Trattoria Lucca, Fuel, Goulette. Since Cannon Street (and Spring Street) are the only legal areas in the city to host short term rentals in Charleston, you will be in good company here.

If you want the full Charleston experience you need to sign up for a walking tour or carriage tour, a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter several times daily so that you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.

Interaction with Guests:
We are available for questions and we're glad to assist in any way we can.

This property was amazing! I chose it mostly for the beautiful kitchen but the location was a great coincidence (only a few blocks from King Street). We planned on cooking a feast during our stay there and the pictures showed a very well equipped kitchen and a charcoal grill. However we did have some issues with the gas stove (had some difficulty getting the flame to turn on again after we turned it off) and the grill's lighter was out of fluid and there was no scrubber to clean it before we started using it. Thankfully we were able to pivot our grilling food to the kitchen! Otherwise the stay was great and the owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had! Would definitely stay here again!

Charleston getaway

We had a wonderful time at this VRBO. The location was a convenient walk to many of the places that we had wanted to visit. We especially enjoyed the porch, where each morning we ate our breakfast. Many good restaurants nearby. The checkin and communication was very good.

The location is amazing, away from the busy foot and car traffic of downtown, while still easy to get to great restaurants and more.

Excellent Property and Location

Me, my wife, and infant son stayed at this amazing rental for a weekend stay. It was the perfect location to walk around, shop, and eat. The check in process was seamless and the property was exactly as described. Having a parking spot made getting around the city and barrier islands very easy. 10/10 would recommend staying here during your time in Charleston.

Great Location

Beautifully restored home in a great location. Walking distance to King Street and several places to eat. Bagel store right on the corner was awesome. House was great. Parking in rear was a little tight due to some construction they are doing to the property to the rear. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

I love my family. I love my work. I enjoy what I do. I am proud to be able to share the fruits of my labor with guests. I am a general contractor and building owner that takes pride in 5-star authentic historic renovations. I find it hard to not laugh at the mundane and the extraordinary. I am a born and raised Charlestonian. I am honored, and I enjoy sharing a part of the Charleston experience with guests.

Why they chose this property

Built in the 1850s, this grand mansion recently underwent a painstaking renovation, resulting in a luxurious mix of historic material, modern convenience and style. This property is located in the heart of downtown in a vibrant neighborhood near Charleston's best restaurants and shopping. A fully stocked kitchen provides you options and won't leave you fretting the basics like for olive oil. Spread out onto the lovely piazza, soak in the sea breeze and consider the tales and lore this incredible city has seen in the last 300 years.
