About this property

The Madison- Historic Charleston Single House with Double Porches & Roof Deck

Encompass yourself in the history of Charleston by staying in this newly renovated 1890's single house. This entire two story house offers guests all the aesthetic features of a Charleston Single House from its large double piazzas with blue ceilings and original fireplaces to the modern touches you need to make your Charleston retreat comfortable and convenient.

Enjoy a brand new house opened in 2021 with all new furniture, appliances, and fixtures located just blocks from Upper King Street.

The space includes the entire two story main house along with access to the common area roof deck and out door grilling patio. The kitchen/living room displays a large island to gather around as well as a spacious living room with a 75" TV. There are 4 private bedrooms each with their own private baths displaying large showers with multiple shower heads.

This property maintains this 4 bedroom two story single house as well as two separate rear executive suites located at the rear of the property. If you are looking to increase your party size by one or two bedrooms please book the Madison Complex. The roof deck, grilling patio and driveway parking are exclusively used by the house.

The communication during your stay will be initiated on the day of check-in via a "check-in group text" with our entire management team so that there will be someone available at all times for any emergencies or questions that arise. This message will maintain check in instruction and will serve as the best point of contact throughout your stay for any of your needs. If you do not have a domestic cell phone don't worry, we can simply message through the platform app which will be monitored regularly.

The setting is the historic Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood which is considered the "gateway" to the peninsula boasting just the right mix of Neighborhood and City. King, Cannon and Spring Street are dotted with boutiques, vintage stores, and bakeries. Trendy eateries serve up everything from comforting southern fare to the best seafood you can find.

Perfect house for family gathering

We spent a long weekend with family in Charleston and used this house for several of us to stay and to have a common gathering spot. The house is spacious, recently updated, has several excellent common areas, and is close to many great restaurants, coffee shops, and a short walk from the bars on King St.

Best week with friends

Four high school friends from different parts of the country all met in Charleston for a week of reconnection and reunion. Our stay was perfect. The layout of the house gave everybody privacy yet the kitchen and the living room were perfect for gatherings. Accommodations were lovely and clean and comfortable. The location could not have been better. It was truly perfect. I would highly recommend staying here

Great house! Great time!

Plenty of space for everyone. With three couples it was nice to have an en suite for each. Really comfortable living area and kitchen! The property contact book needs to be updated and it would be helpful to label the location of the breaker box as we did need to reset a breaker while there. However, super minor issue and would 100% stay at this property again. It was beautiful and a convenient location.

A nice and comfortable house except the back house was extremely noisy on the second floor where the bedrooms of the main house were located. It was hard to get a good night's sleep.

Charm and Amazing Convenience!

What a charming Single Row House! Add in the amazing convenience of a well thought out updated interior meeting all of our vacation needs plus the excellent physical location closeness to downtown Charleston made for our perfect vacation escape. Off-street parking is such a huge bonus. This is so rare in Charleston and we so much appreciated it. When backing the suv out for the activities that day, we typically had one person stand outside and watch for street traffic so the driver could safely back out onto the road. We were perhaps simply extra careful. However we had no issue or delays ever getting out as drivers on the street were very courteous. Finally, the roof top deck was the ultimate charm for us as we toasted each other to our amazing vacation memories. To The Madison House - Thank you!

Beautiful Property, Lack of Cleanliness

My family and I were extremely excited about gathering in Charleston for the holiday to be able to spend time with each other. This location caught our eye because it was only 20 minutes away for our grandparents to travel to. Upon arrival we brought in all of our things and were excited to be there together. We didn’t arrive to the property I totality until about 1am everyone went their ways we noticed how the bathrooms, and bedrooms were not cleaned properly. There was dirt on the headboards, cob webs in all corners including the bathroom and kitchen and the floors were not swept. At this point we cleaned the space ourselves because we had a 4 month old baby with us and we did not want to expose her to the germs. The next morning there was trash left on front porch from people who were walking in the alley. That is when we noticed the windows were unlocked. We reached out to management to show photos with timestamps and discuss possible refunds of cleaning fees and were completely dismissed upon any solution. This was a unfortunate end to an otherwise beautiful experience. I hope that they will reevaluate their cleaning process and should anyone else experience this - look to provide better customer service.

Girlfriends Retreat

The property is. beautifully renovated. The half bath needs a good scrubbing on the floor. I know they were going for the distressed look but the floor and baseboards look dirty. Had a problem with the dishwasher but they fixed it right away. Eight girlfriends stayed here and it was perfect for us. Great location, not far from the bus stops.
