About this property
Luxury, Historic Renovated Apartment
Summary:
The Sires Suite is a blend of historic charm and modern luxury featuring two queen bedrooms and one bath in which were thoughtfully renovated. This historic suite provides a private stay, just steps away from the city’s most celebrated shopping and dining.
The Space:
The Sires Suite summons the essence of a truly refined Antebellum Charleston experience, through truly paired with every modern convenience. The kitchen is a timeless centerpiece, featuring a timeless La Cornue gas oven and cooktop from Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, France, complemented by a whisper-quiet, American-made Vent-A-Hood. Guests are invited to celebrate Old World culinary traditions using top-of-the-line All-Clad cookware and glassware. Custom cabinetry, the kitchen island, and soaring eight-foot barn doors are handcrafted on-site from reclaimed heart pine, sourced during the home’s renovations.
Entertainment is seemlessly modern with a Samsung 4k Smart television, offering complimentary access to Xfinity cable, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu.
Each bedroom is designed for rest, offering sound machines and smart charging stations, surrounded by cypress shiplap walls and centuries-old heart pine—much of it dating back to the early 1600’s.
The bathroom is a masterful blend of history and luxury, tiled with original repurposed Vermont slate dating to 1851, when the house was built by shipwrights. Salvaged standing-seam tin from the original front porch roof forms a striking backsplash behind the hand-hammered, nickel-plated vessel sink. Period-inspired water closets sourced from Kent, England complete the Old World aesthetic.
Outdoors, guests can embrace the Charleston tradition: relaxing on the porch and enjoying the coastal breeze. Rocking chairs overlook Cannon Street, while a private rear porch and patio offer additional space to unwind, complete with a lounge sofa and Acorn barbecue grill.
Permit: OP2025-06529
Guest Access:
Private entrance and access, complimentary parking, private outdoor porches.
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 such as King Street 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 and will not be delayed. Street parking and parking garages are available and relatively easy to access.
Other Things to Note:
We are three blocks from King Street, right in the middle of all Charlestonian activity. Incredible restaurants such as Southbound, Verns, 167 Raw, Malagon, Indaco, and Azur. Great places to have drinks are even closer at places like Felix, Stars, Babas, and Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street, such as coastal Italian at Allora or creative Indian at Rivayat.
If you want the full Charleston experience, a walking tour or carriage tour is a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter daily and you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.

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

This rental achieves that rare balance of uniqueness and practicality. The apartment has a comfortable living room, well-equipped kitchen (all-clad pans if you want to do some serious cooking), and the best feature, IMO: a beautiful porch.Beds are comfy. The other big plus is the neighborhood—busy enough to provide great coffee, bagels, and dining options within blocks. But not so busy that you can’t get a good night’s sleep.

Thank you so much for your review! We would be glad to welcome you back here.
Our favorite part of our visit to Charleston was actually sitting on the front balcony of this property, watching folks walk by, hearing diners at Southbound next door. We will definitely stay again!

So happy you enjoyed you stay with us and your time in Charleston. Come see us again when you can! :)
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.

Beautiful location and property! Very well appointed accommodations. Very satisfied!
George’s place was fantastic! Beautiful, unique apartment in a great area of Charleston and within walking distance of historic downtown. I definitely plan on staying there again on my next trip!
So convenient, blocks from King Street. Uniquely decorated with many nice high end touches. Plenty of space, but we spent most of our time enjoying the porch.

Hi Christopher!
Thank you for your comments and for visiting us! The porches are my personal favorite. The breeze off the harbor makes for a very relaxing space. We are so glad you enjoyed! We hope to welcome you back in the future.
The intentionality of every detail was noticed - from the drive up to the little nooks and crannies. Within a short walk to amazing food and iconic Charleston spots. We will certainly let be back!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your visit and your comments. Come see us again soon!
The location is amazing, away from the busy foot and car traffic of downtown, while still easy to get to great restaurants and more. The accommodations were built with such care and with luxury touches. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend! George and Morgan we’re wonderful hosts, quick to respond, very helpful and friendly.

We are quite pleased that you had a nice stay in Charleston at The Charlestonian!
We really enjoyed our stay here. George and Morgan have done a fantastic job with this condo, it’s beautiful! The location is perfect , located very close to King Street and many wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. George was there to meet us and provided a list of things to do and restaurant recommendations. We had a wonderful time and hope to visit again soon!
The interior and exterior were both absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed sitting out in the porch and people watching until late! The shower was a fan favorite, and the interior, while small, was so tasteful and luxurious with everything we needed for a great stay. Awesome location- quiet enough to be relaxing, central enough that we could go anywhere. Thanks George for a great stay!

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.

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.
