The location of Kingston Arms is just about perfect; literally a stone’s throw from all the fabulous cafes, restaurants and shops of St Armands. The pool area is first class and we had a very peaceful first 9/10 days (until a rather loud family arrived). The unit itself is absolutely fine. The kitchen and bathroom are both fairly small by American standards but the bedroom and living room are of a good size. The A/C is much better than some other properties we’ve visited and this helped make our stay a very pleasant one.

Great location and very nice unit but could use a little updatiing. Easy walking to beach and st armands circle. Trolley service was nearby and great for getting around. Pool very nice. Bed comfy. Service by ITrip personnel was helpful ... excellent actually.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Very nice unfortunately I was not able to stay the full time due to finance getting suddenly ill and not being able to fly in to meet me and I let owner know this in hopes I may have some refunded money in view of the fact that the property was barely used and therefore didn’t require much to clean for next renter ???? kind of disappointed in this …!

ProsKingston Arms - Excellent, central location of property to many attractions. Easy ability to walk around the corner to St Armands Circle for food, drink and shopping. Walkable to local beaches. Mostly quiet at night and early mornings.Appliances in condo 23B were working well, though microwave was a bit dated...but still works. Water pressure, hot water, heat (cold week in FL) all worked fine. TV and apps worked fine as well.Condo had beach chairs and umbrella, so going to the beach was easy.Management Agency communicated often and thoroughly across all areas, except for comment below. ConsBooking/Management agency very communicative, except on weekends. I sent a note that the Wi-fi was not working on Friday and it took a few days to get a response with the solution. The information in the room appears to be dated and newer information was available. Finally got connected, but most of our vacation was over. Able to work around through hot spots and wi-fi at other locations.Furniture was dated and outside of the bed, hard as a rock. So uncomfortable, that by the 5th day my back started going out and sciatic nerve started kicking in. Spent the last 3 days of vacation in pain. The couches are the worst. The bed is OK, but lumpy. The furniture and the back and nerve pain it caused, unfortunately outweighed the good, so 3 stars is best that can be given. Hopefully the owners address these shortcomings for the next guests.
