About this apartment rental
Set in Charleston’s Historic District near lower King Street, the French Quarter, Colonial Lake, and The Battery, this private residence gives you the best of both worlds: walkable access to Charleston’s restaurants, galleries, shops, historic tours, and waterfront sights — with a peaceful residential setting to return to at night.
Rather than staying in a busy hotel corridor or dense visitor zone, you’ll be tucked inside one of Charleston’s classic historic neighborhoods, surrounded by leafy streets, beautiful architecture, and long-time residential character.
Inside, your private 1,000 sq. ft. residence feels like a boutique hotel suite within an 1850s Charleston home. Original 12-ft ceilings, polished wood floors, tall sash windows, natural light, and historic details create a refined, quietly luxurious retreat, while thoughtful modern comforts make the stay easy.
**Sleep**
* Serene king bedroom with luxe linens, historic details, and a comfortable bed
* Curtained sunroom with a second king bed for flexible sleeping arrangements
* Ideal for couples, two friends, a small family, or guests who prefer extra sleeping space
* Quiet setting for rest, despite being close to so much of downtown Charleston
**Live**
* Comfortable living room with large flatscreen TV
* Strong Wi-Fi and comfortable places to work remotely
* Premium washer and dryer for longer stays or lighter packing
* Thoughtful extras including charging cords, umbrellas, local guides, and small details to make the stay easier
**Cook**
The kitchen is unusually well stocked for a downtown Charleston stay and works well for coffee, breakfast, snacks, or full meals.
Includes:
* Bosch gas stove and oven
* Bosch dishwasher
* Full-size refrigerator with filtered water and ice
* Instant boiling water dispenser
* Keurig and drip coffee maker
* Microwave and blender
* Cookware, dinnerware, glassware, and silverware
**Refresh**
* Modern spa-style bathroom with sleek rain shower
* Strong hot water, quality towels, toiletries, and thoughtful little details
**Outdoor Space**
Enjoy your private courtyard with historic Charleston battery benches, a fountain, and greenery.
It is a guest favorite for morning coffee, afternoon wine, or a quiet reset between walks around the city.
**Parking**
Dedicated private off-street parking is included right by the entrance — a major convenience in downtown Charleston.
Many guests park once and explore the city on foot.
An on-site EV charger is also available if needed.
**Who This Home Is For**
This home is ideal for guests who want Charleston’s architecture, dining, galleries, historic streets, and waterfront within walking distance — then want to return to a calm, private retreat instead of a late-night party scene.
If your ideal Charleston stay is a great dinner on lower King, an easy walk home, and a quiet glass of wine in a hidden courtyard, you’ll feel right at home.

This is a perfect home-base for a couple to explore Charleston. This was our first trip to the city and we really enjoyed it. The property is lovely - a true historic home that has been restored very nicely and was spotlessly clean. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The living room is comfortable and a great place to recharge after sight-seeing. The bedroom is very well appointed - excellent bedding and LOTS of pillows. The bathroom is small but adequate and has a wonderful shower.The quirks are interesting - step down from both the bathroom and kitchen are something you need to keep in mind - but necessary to accommodate plumbing in a very old house. The front terrace and fountain are a perfect place to have a glass of wine - or coffee in the morning. And the off-street parking is a HUGE plus. Park your car and walk or calling Uber is the best bet. The location was excellent - we were able to walk to the Queen Street Grocery and Cafe, the Charleston Market, Gaulart & Maliclet Cafe (Fast & French), Burbage's Grocery and all the shopping along King Street as well as the beautiful Colonial Lake (about a block away). Our host was easily available but we had no issues at all. Thank you for sharing your wonderful spot.

Adorable old home! The host was very resonsive and goes the extra mile with little conveniences. We absolutely loved the location. Very close to everything, but on a quiet street just off the beaten path. We will definitely go back!

Excellent place to stay-comfortable, functional, clean, roomy, and great location! Plus a place to park right next to the entrance. Great restaurants within short walking distance. Timely response from the host. Beautiful neighborhood
