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.

Wonderful and relaxing week!

We spent a week at Rob and Charlie's incredible carriage house on a park-like property in West Ashley. We had a rental car and loved the quiet location close to downtown Charleston but also close to historic sites like Middleton Place. Charlie and Rob were amazing hosts....so welcoming, gracious and helpful. The apartment is clean, spacious and tastfully decorated with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. I definitely recommend this rental!

Southern hospitality in a peaceful setting

So grateful to Charlie and Rob for creating a beautiful space in such a warm and welcoming environment. From the sweet Koi Pond to the cottage itself, they thought of everything that a guest would need for comfort. It’s rare to find a VRBO and owners as dedicated and kind as this one. Thank you both!!

A little slice of heaven

Charlie and Rob have created a beautiful oasis of calm and comfort in West Ashley, (Charleston). The loft itself is wonderfully appointed and tastefully designed. The freshly ground coffee was delicious, as was the choice of wines, already in the wine rack. Our hosts were delightful company; relaxing with them at the koi pond was the perfect way to wind down after a long day exploring downtown Charleston. We loved their suggestions for restaurants and historic sites.Highly recommended!!

Perfect Location, Lovely Setting, Comfortable Accommodations

If you’re planning a stay in the Charleston area, we highly recommend staying here! It’s 15 minutes from the airport and only a 20-30 minute drive from some of the must-see locations, such as the aquarium, famous plantations, Fort Sumter Visitor Center and close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Our hosts were cordial and welcoming, and the home was in pristine condition. Charleston is a lovely city with so much history. Make sure you take one of the horse-drawn carriage tours!

An Amazing Stay!

It was such a joy to stay here - The hosts are wonderful and very inviting, full of great conversation, and you can tell they really care about community and connecting with others. The space itself is gorgeous, both inside and out. It was very clean, the pond of koi and the turtle are a beautiful way to relax without going anywhere. It's a great location - quiet, yet not far from shops and things to do. We lived the ability to walk right over to the greenway for a nice run, and still be able to hop in the car for a quick 10min into the downtown area. We will absolutely be back to stay in the future - one of the best experiences we've had so far!Thanks Charlie!
