About this property
Josephine's Garden Apartment Steps From King St. In A Neatly Renovated 1882 Home
Located half a block off King Street and BRAND NEW TO THE RENTAL MARKET, built in 1882 Josephine's Apartment has retained all her charm and with an address in the heart of the city, it is walking access to the best shopping in Charleston. Josespine's is a hidden gem nestled on Society st with double front porches and a huge magical tree in the front courtyard!
A white picket fence marks the address adding ambiance and privacy to the double porches. Upon entering the house you'll be delighted by the unique front door and know you have arrived somewhere special. The first room to the left you will enjoy the library with a diverse collection of books, a large dining table and a bar for afternoon cocktails.
Open the pocket doors and you will be in the parlor with one of seven fireplaces that are original to the house. Parlors are quintessential to Charleston homes for entertaining or afternoon tea. Down the hall you will find a powder room, followed by a quaint kitchen, equipped with a dainty retro fridge, induction cooktop, kettle, toaster oven, and a 1940s era french sink.
Enjoy your meals at the table for two while the sunlight filters in through the shaded garden walkway. Across the hall is room No. 6 with a king bed and a place to hang your clothes in the rosy glow of the modern lamps. Positioned in the center of the house, this room is quiet and relaxing. To freshen up, you will have your choice of a full bath appointed with a vintage claw foot tub across the hall or to the right there is a second bathroom with a shower.
At the end of the hall sits bedroom No. 8 that we refer to as the Garden Room. Cozy with a full sized bed, a shower, vanity, and fireplace. You will have access to a small covered porch that enters into the enchanting and secluded garden. If visiting in the winter, don't forget to pick off some oranges from our tree shading the garden for your morning juice or cocktail.
Josephine's apartment has been thoughtfully furnished with eclectic vintage pieces, funky artwork, and a collective of plants in neat pots throughout this home adding to this perfect Charleston getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Ginger Evans

Born and raised Charlestonian, I've traveled to a lot of wonderful places around the world and have enjoyed learning about different cultures I gather a lot of enjoyment from decorating and interior design and I love providing a unique place to stay.
Why they chose this property
I'm a successful hairstylist and store owner, I've alway worked with people visiting Charleston. So this is a natural thing for me to go further into the hospitality industry by providing a lovely place for people to stay. I'm all about providing the best environment for guests.
What makes this property unique
Perfect soft sheets, having the right tools in the kitchen, plants scattered around the house to make it your home away from home. I like to provide special groceries in the fridge upon request. Beautiful glass jars filled with provisions and beauty supplies for unique amenities.
