The Cottage at DuPont. Elegantly Spacious with a Private Charleston Garden

A great way to "get away from it all" in Charleston. Relax and enjoy a 1064 square foot home with 10 foot ceilings. With more than twice the square footage of most other properties considered comparable by VRBO, The Cottage at DuPont offers TWO Queen size beds in ONE 25' X 12' bedroom. Beautifully furnished and always spotlessly clean, the cottage is a free-standing self-contained private accommodation in a beautiful, quiet Charleston garden setting​.

E​njoy the well-furnished kitchen with marble countertops and ​the extra large living area with hardwood floors and ten foot ceilings where guests can share a meal and some quality time together.

Only four miles from ​Charleston's Historic District, the Cottage is​ also close to Middleton Gardens, Magnolia Gardens, Drayton Hall, Charles Towne Landing​, McLeod Plantation​ and the Avondale Entertainment District.​ There are many interesting places to ​enjoy ​close to the Cottage ​w​ithout the crowds or parking fees. ​

T​ake in the gorgeous ​nearby view​s ​a​cross the Intracoastal waterway ​to Johns Island and James Island or the view to the east over the marshlands of Sandy Bay​. The ten mile long West Ashley Greenway is just two blocks to the north of the Cottage. It's great for walking and biking. All of these options are between 2 and 15 minutes away. There are several good restaurants that are walkable or less than a mile from the Cottage. Grab a pastry ​for breakfast from the Wild Flour Bakery or have cocktails and a tasty meal​ just a block ​away by sidewalk at Ciao Bella.

​Charlie and Rob enjoy​ v​isiting with guests by the pond, but ​they also believe in giving people their space. ​Feel free to share ​their gorgeous Charleston garden​ anytime​. Meet their friendly fish Bertha, Big Teenie, Little Teenie and Ziggy as well as famous local celebrity turtle, Hoity Toity, the world's most passive aggressive Red​-Eared Slider. Charlie and Rob are available during the day between 8AM and 7PM​ to assist you with local information or any special needs.​

The Cottage at DuPont is a fully licensed short term rental accommodation in the City of Charleston. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW PETS, CHILDREN, SMOKING OR EVENTS OF ANY KIND.

Perfect home base for getting around the Charleston area, just far enough from the downtown fray yet only a few miles in for when you want that downtown vibe. Spacious and clean upstairs unit with plenty of privacy, easy parking and easy access through the park-like yard. Good size bathroom with extra towels. Very large bedroom. Charlie and Rob are the warmest of hosts and super responsive. Great stay!

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!

AMAZING stay at private cottage

I would highly recommend this space to anyone visiting Charleston. It was even better than advertised- the space is perfect and private. The location is within reasonable driving distance from everything! Charlie’s backyard is a gorgeous oasis and makes this rental even better.

One week isn't enough

It's really hard to say which part we enjoyed the most about the Cottage at DuPont. The place was immaculately clean, and very well provisioned. It was the perfect distance from downtown. Not too close, not too far. The grounds surrounding the cottage are simply serene. I could have stared at the Koi pond for hours!! Just waiting for a glimpse of the elusive Toity was so relaxing!! I wish we had discovered Folly Beach earlier in the week, but that just means we'll need another trip.Our hosts, Charlie and Rob were very gracious, and a lot of fun to sit and chat with over a glass of wine. This was a terrific way to spend our anniversary week! There's so much to do and see in Charleston that another week or three would have been awesome!Thank you again Charlie and Rob. It was truly a memorable week!!

Gem of a place

The cottage was a wonderful place to stay! It was clean as could be, roomy, and extremely quiet. Charlie was a gracious and informative host who communicated with us in a timely and clear way. He’s also warm and friendly and readily invited us to join him and Rob on their porch at the end of the day. The apartment is nicely equipped, the beds are really comfortable, and the yard is spectacularly beautiful. We would happily stay there again if we ever return to Charleston. We highly recommend their place!
