About this property
M1 at Saint Philip Square, One Block to King, Cozy Bright Stay
Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes that spans nearly one city block of downtown Charleston. The Emma McCall House at 174 Unit #1 St. Philip St. offers a 2-bed, 2-bath apartment that blends modern comfort with Charleston’s rich history just one block from King Street. Recognized with five Carolopolis Awards and the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration, this retreat is perfect for families or groups seeking an authentic Charleston experience.
Bedroom 1 – King bed, ensuite bath, refined decor, ample large windows for natural light.
Bedroom 2 – King bed, ensuite bath, stylish furnishings, historic character, spacious storage.
Bathroom 1 - Ensuite with tile and marble shower, separate handheld shower and vanity.
Bathroom 2 - Ensuite with shower, glass door, rain shower ,separate handheld shower.
Living Room – Cozy and refined, new West Elm sleeper sofa, flat-screen TV, elegant finishes.
Kitchen – Fully stocked, combination Keurig pod / drip machine, all the small gadgets.
- Landscaped parking allotted for 1 vehicle only.
This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!
Saint Philip Square is an award-winning collection of 6 historic buildings meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. 174 Unit #1 is one of seventeen unique rentals. The grounds feature outdoor garden areas with fountains, dining areas, fire tables and outdoor grills. In the evening, this oasis sparkles with outdoor lighting, making it the perfect place for nightcaps after a day of exploring.
*If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*
*Pet Policy: Only Small Pets under 25 pounds (maximum of 2) allowed with prior written approval ($200 non-refundable fee per pet).Must have authorization prior to reservation.*

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Molony
Bill and Jacquelin are lifelong Charlestonians who have raised our family in Charleston. We are passionate about everything "Charleston"--history, culture, architecture. We spent 20 years on our sailboat in Europe, staying in VRBO places whenever we could. While we love Europe, we feel Charleston gives you the best European experience in America but also offers the best of modern American life. We bought the properties at SaintPhilipSquare in 1996 and began converting them to short term rental in 2010 because we believe these historic properties give visitors the best opportunity to live like a Charlestonian. We love the VRBO concept and always stay in VRBO properties when we travel.
Jamie, our capable manager for over 25 years, is the "magic" of SaintPhilipSquare as you will find from the reviews.
