We were in Charleston for a Mother-Daughter weekend and the place was perfect. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms. We also had the remnants of a hurricane causing lots of rain, and the house and location was perfect. Only call out is description of bedrooms as they are across 3 floors (which was fine) and one bedroom is very small and connected with another - almost like a large closet space. Was fine for us, but just wanted to flag for others as it was not something that I identified with the description or pictures online.

Great weekend

We had a great time at this house. The area has really transformed over the past couple years and grabbing a quick coffee or nice dinner are all in walking distance. Plus the parking was very easy which is a bonus with luggage and kids :)

Historic Gem with Modern Makeover

This is a wonderfully located 5 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath home with lots of "walk to" options, including bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, and Charleston sights. The property is old and historic, but has all the modern features including a great room / kitchen that's perfect for hosting family functions and connections. We had one minor glitch that the manager/host quickly solved. We would rent here again!

Charleston wedding

My youngest son got married in Charleston over the 4th of July weekend; and because I have 3 sons and grandchildren, I wanted a house where we could all stay together, as opposed to individual hotel rooms. I was stunned at the beauty of each room. Although the house is fabulously old, the decor of each room is modern, and unique. We had one slight problem, and it was solved within the hour by a charming young man (who checked on us later in the week,) This is a great location as well.
