My husband and I, our daughter, her husband and two adult grandchildren stayed at this beautiful home for three nights in July. We were all very impressed with the accommodations - it is a beautiful extremely well preserved historic home within walking distance of downtown Charleston. It was at once comfortable, yet elegant, with every amenity we could have asked for.My personal favorite was relaxing on the rear porch overlooking the garden and fountain, and you can see the bay too! This is a wonderful base to explore Charleston. We hope to return again and stay longer. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us!
