Stunning Charleston Garden & Private Koi Pond

Elegant & Private: 1,000+ Sq Ft Charleston Garden Sanctuary

About This Rental: Immaculate, stand-alone cottage with 1,064 sq. ft. of pristine living space—significantly larger and cleaner than your typical Charleston rental.
Experience a standard of living rarely found in short-term stays. The Cottage at DuPont is a dedicated stand-alone home designed for travelers who value architectural style, absolute quiet, and "sparkling" cleanliness. Nestled in the historic DuPont neighborhood of West Ashley, you are just 4 miles from the Downtown Historic District while enjoying your own private park-like oasis.

The Space
Step into an expansive, airy floor plan defined by 10-foot ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors. Unlike cramped one-bedroom suites, this home offers:
The Massive Master Suite: A huge 22’ x 12’ retreat featuring two queen-size beds with high-quality linens—ideal for friends traveling together or couples who appreciate extra room.

Gourmet Kitchen: Fully equipped for extended stays with elegant marble countertops, high-end appliances and fresh ground coffee.

Spa-Like Bath & Laundry: A large, bright tiled bathroom accompanied by a private, full-size laundry room for your exclusive use.

The Garden Oasis
Your stay extends outdoors into a magical, private garden centered around a peaceful koi pond and waterfall. Relax by the water and meet our local "celebrities"—the friendly koi and Hoity Toity the turtle. It is the perfect setting for slow mornings and quiet evenings away from the downtown crowds.

"Cleaner Than Home"
We take immense pride in our maintenance. Guests consistently describe the cottage as "immaculate" and "the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed." Every stay is personally prepared with a "clean freak" level of detail to ensure a pristine environment.

The Neighborhood
Tucked away in the historic DuPont neighborhood, you are perfectly positioned to explore the best of the Lowcountry:

Downtown: 4 miles (5–10 mins) to the Charleston Historic District.

Nature: 2 blocks from the 10-mile West Ashley Greenway (walking/biking). Middleton Place, Magnolia Gardens Drayton Hall, McCleod Plantation, Charles Towne Landing, Old Towne Creek County Park and Caw Caw Nature Preserve and Interpretive Center are all within ten minutes drive of the Cottage.

Beaches: 20–30 mins to Folly Beach and Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms. Kiawah's Beackwalker Park is 30 minutes away.

Be sure to see our guidebook online and the printed version on the table in the Cottage.

Walkable Favorites: Just a short stroll to Wild Flour Bakery and Ciao Bella.

This is a top notch stay! Accommodations are the perfect blend of comfort, class, and elegance. The grounds are simply stunning. The hosts may be the friendliest we’ve ever met. Parking and ease of access is great, and thoughtful conveniences such as fresh ground coffee and a wine lending library made this one of the best stays ever!
