Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes spanning nearly one city block of downtown Charleston.

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.

Amazing day in Charleston. This was our first visit. Saint Phillips Square apartment was our little home away from home and we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed it so much. Well equipped with everything you need. Very clean, comfortable and cozy. The grounds were super clean and while taken care of. Jamie was super responsive. We loved every minute.

Our Charleston stay was fantastic. The home is just as pictured. The beds were so comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless and beautifully appointed. We slept in everyday we were there. The location is perfect for being right off King Street and near everything. We couldn’t have asked for a greater place to spend our pre-Xmas holiday. Thanks so much for an incredible stay.

Wonderful apartment near King St!

We stayed at this property for a brief getaway during the Charleston Wine & Food Festival 2025. The location was fantastic -- close enough to all of the action on King St but still somewhat quiet and removed. The apartment was well appointed and clean with lots of historic charm.

Very nice apartment for our family weekend trip

We are a family of five and we enjoy more upscale and quality accommodations, and this one delivered. Tucked away off the main drag but still close to the action. We felt safe and it was fairly quiet for a downtown location. The apartment was nicely updated and fully loaded. You will need to drive a few minutes to get to the heart of the action on Market and/or King but that’s what we preferred. To be fair and balanced, the only things I would nitpick on is the glass coffee table that made me a bit nervous because of our kids, and the futon sofa was a bit small for our family for movie night. Not a big deal for most people but the dishwasher was a bit hard to figure out but we eventually did. All in all, great spot to rent and we will definitely consider it again. Book it, you will be glad that you did.

Our apartment was beautiful and perfect for the 5 of us. It was definitely high quality furnishings throughout. Our outdoor deck was lovely with nice furniture. The courtyard had several sitting areas and fountains. Walking distance to everywhere and we felt very safe. If we visit Charleston again, this is where we would stay. Thank you for offering such a nice place.
