    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!

    Saint Philip Square is an award-winning collection of 6 historic buildings meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. 174 Unit #1 is one of seventeen unique rentals. The grounds feature outdoor garden areas with fountains, dining areas, fire tables and outdoor grills. In the evening, this oasis sparkles with outdoor lighting, making it the perfect place for nightcaps after a day of exploring.

    *If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*

    *Pet Policy: Only Small Pets under 25 pounds (maximum of 2) allowed with prior written approval ($200 non-refundable fee per pet).Must have authorization prior to reservation.*

Great place!

This place is in a good area of downtown Charleston. Only a block from King St. If felt like a safe area to walk at night. Nice parking area. Plenty of room for two couples. Two master suites with a small kitchen and living room. This place was very clean. It had extra pillows, blankets and towels. I would definitely stay here again.

Graduation weekend in Charleston

This property provided everything and more to be comfortable and social in the Cannonborough neighborhood of downtown Charleston. We walked to everything we needed (dining, shopping, College of Charleston, etc), and loved the common area of the courtyards and fountains to the rear of the property. Morning coffee on the porch beneath the hanging ferns was a highlight as well. We loved the ability to be both indoors and outdoors. The perfect stay!
