About this property

1BR Suite in a Historic, Luxury Antebellum Mansion

Summary:

Live like a local in this show-stopping one bedroom, one bath apartment located in downtown Charleston. Housed in an historic home dating to 1851, every detail has been fully renovated to feature antique heart pine flooring, tongue and groove walls, and European hardware dating to the original period of the home. This suite has a fully custom kitchen and beautiful living space.



The Space:

The floorplan is ideal for socializing with an open concept living room and eat-in kitchen on one end and the bedroom on the opposite end. The living room and kitchen look out on Cannon street, one of Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood’s most vibrant streets, home to many popular stores and restaurants all just steps from the suite. Off of this living room/kitchen area is a classic Charleston porch, offering guests an outdoor area to visit and people watch. The bedroom boast a comfortable queen bed with plush bedding. The bedroom features a full ensuite bathroom. *Please note this rental is located on the second floor and only accessible by (spiral staircase!) Absolutely no parties or late-night noise will be tolerated.

Operating Permit: OP2025-06529



Guest Access:

You have access to the large front porch with dedicated seating for only you, rear porch, and patio with big Green Egg charcoal grill, charcoal being complimentary of course. *Please note this suite is only accessible by (spiral stairs.)



The Neighborhood:

The home is set in Cannonborough, an inviting downtown area blending historic and stylish residential homes. It’s steps away from the College of Charleston, as well as Upper King Street’s eateries and shopping.



Getting Around:

There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are readily available.



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.



Interaction with Guests:

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

Historical Hideaway!

We loved staying in this home! It was everything and more that we wanted. It was close enough to within walking distance from everything, yet far enough away to give us privacy. It was amazing and beautiful and we will stay there again! Thank you, George and gang for such a beautiful and wonderful experience!

Lovely and welcoming

The place was really beautifully renovated, clean and great for our group of 4. I choose owner rentals for the kitchen and amenities over hotels and this one worked well. The only thing I would recommend is to be very clear on parking which was confusing and awkward. Other than that Morgan was extremely helpful and took great care to make sure we got settled in. We want to come back.

Hidden Gem in Charleston

I booked the upper unit for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. Everything exceeded my expectations. The level of care put into every detail is outstanding. I loved having my morning coffee on the porch. It very much felt like a private enclave, tucked away from the downtown, but still in walking distance to all you need. Definitely dine at the adorable restaurant on the property and order a sandwich from the eatery called Ladels below the main house. I will definitely be back. It’s rare for a rental property to make me feel as though I’m “home” while traveling. Thank you!

World Class Property

I often stay at VRBO properties and this property is top-notich. It is obvious that the property owners are experienced property owners and the property is used for retnals only (no personal items or clutter). Every detail is perfect. The location is great; however, you can hear noise at night, but noise machines are availbale in each room. No parking available at the property, but super easy parking available across the street. The property actually has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, not two as advertisied. Highly recommend--awesome property.

Great trip

We stayed in this cute place for 3 nights recently. It was well decorated and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Our 2 teens had their own rooms and bathrooms. We had a great picnic table on the balcony where we had coffee and cocktails. It was with easy walking distance to restaurants and King St. Loved it. Hope to stay here again one day.

Quiet location, very close to King street!

I enjoyed my stay at the Charlestonian! This property is located on a very quiet street approximately 3 blocks away from King street. While King street is within walking distance, my boyfriend and I decided to make the super short drive up instead. The check in process was basically seamless. We met with a representative from the property and she let us in and gave us a tour of the property. Anytime I needed to get in touch with the property owner/representative they were super quick to respond to all of my questions, before and during my stay. There was a hiccup with scheduling of the property, we originally had booked the third floor unit, but had to eventually be moved to garden unit due to the scheduling issue. Just know these properties are listed on multiple sites, so there’s a chance you might not be able to stay in the unit you originally requested. That being said, the unit was impeccably decorated, and was extremely clean. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would most definitely stay at the. Charlestonian again!
