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!

St. Philip Square offers a city block of historic elegance right in the heart of Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough district. Just one block to King Street, walkable to Charleston’s world renowned dining, attractions and shopping along King Street.

Great location, we could walk easily to get to shops and restaurants. We were able to rent a golf cart and there was a spot to park it and charge it right there at the unit. Parking our oversized car was no problem either. Our host was communicative and answered our questions promptly. The beds were comfortable and I liked the charm of the building. We didn’t use the kitchen but it looked like it had everything you need. I would recommend staying here when in Charleston.

Charleston Girls Trip!

We had a lovely time in Charleston and this home was a wonderful place to rest after a full day of shopping or beach time! We had a few minor issues but the host was very quick to respond and excellent communication throughout our stay. The home was very clean and provided all the amenities you could want. The only downside is the stairs to get to the unit, as it was a bit difficult lugging our bags, but we truly loved our stay and would definitely come back here!!!

St. Phillips Square

I cannot say enough about this place. We absolutely loved it and I hold a very high bar. Clean with all the conveniences. Being able to sit on the porch and in the courtyard was an extra, wonderful bonus. I have already told many family members and friends that if they are ever in Charleston, I have the place for them to stay.

Perfect place for a weekend stay

Property was well maintained and the host even had sound machines for all of the bedrooms. The parking was easy and the lock info for door entry was very well explained. I loved the location to King street shops and all of the restaurants. Will definitely be back maybe for a girls weekend at this property. We loved it

Great Location

This property was a great location for both driving and walking. Good parking and close to King street and neighborhood eateries. Good communication regarding checkin and checkout. The living space was good. One of the bedrooms is a little tight for two people but would be perfect for one. Our only issue was the washing machine did not work and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend.

St. Philips Square VRBO Very Functional For 6

Our only criticism is that for the first 2 days we were under the possible threat of maybe getting towed as we were given only 1 parking pass yet had 3 vehicles. Jamie said we were ok on Friday but might have to move Saturday morning. There were few people there until Saturday afternoon. We never heard back and one of our party left Sunday morning early so we assumed we were ok. Our host hasn't reached out since we left Monday. Security deposit refund?

6 of us enjoyed this property for a bachelorette weekend, it was a perfect spot! Walking distance from great bars and restaurants, and only a half hour walk from waterfront park and the ocean. The porch was a great place to hang out, and the property was well maintained and easy to access.

Great time

We had a great time at this property! It was clean and in a great location. The only issue is that the description said it slept 8 people with 3 beds and a pullout couch. Our first night we went to use the pull out couch and there was a piece of paper stating that it was broken since 06/20/24 and that we would have to use the air mattress in the closet. I did not appreciate this as it felt sneaky, and we were expecting to have the pullout as a sleeping option. I feel we paid too much per night for two of us to have to sleep on an air mattress.

This was a great property for CofC graduation! The location was ideal as we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony. Onsite parking was a major plus as was the very inviting porch with ample seating for 6. This property had spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, very comfortable living room (especially the couch), and a kitchen that was suitable for meal prep. Would definitely stay here again.
