THE APARTMENT ITSELF
The apartment is entered from the second floor piazza overlooking historic rooftops, set in the back, away from any street noise. The living/kitchen space combines a gorgeous new kitchen that opens into a comfortable, charming living room. It has a brand new West Elm queen sofa sleeper with high end gel mattress. There are two matching club chairs, one more chair, and an eating counter with stools. The granite counter opens onto the brand new kitchen with granite counter tops, all new stainless steel appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, sink and disposal, microwave) and a spacious pantry. Over the counter is a inch flat screen tv. Throughout the apartment you will enjoy the beautiful hardwood floors.
The three designer BEDROOMS have full closets and chests of drawers and dressing tables, bedside tables and reading lamps. One bedroom has a new king bed and the other two rooms have new queen size beds. The two bathrooms are easily accessed and have new granite counters, new sinks and marble floors. Tucked into one bathroom is a stack washer/dryer
In one bedroom is a drop leaf antique mahogany table that can easily be set up for more formal dining in the living room and 6 lovely dining room chairs that complete the elegant setting.
The piazza is a typical charming Charleston feature and helps give our guests a true sense of being a "Charlestonian". We have seating for 6 where you can enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail after exploring the quaint streets, shops and restaurants.
GROUPS
On the first floor of this building is a newly renovated 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment and next door to these apartments is another VRBO by the same owner with 3 bedrooms. The three rentals combine to make an ideal setting for a larger group.
This apartment is fresh, cozy, comfortable and tasteful. It has been inspired by one of the best, authentic Charleston designers.
LEGAL & BEST LOCATION
This charming three bedroom totally renovated apartment is ideally located in the newly designated legal "short term overlay" for legal short term rental in Charleston. Within the overlay, this property is in the southernmost part of that area which means it is as close as you can legally be to the South of Broad/Calhoun St historic districts without an owner present. Be sure to study the map because not all "historic" properties are so well situated.
HISTORIC AND MODERN
In addition, some properties in the overlay are new construction. When visiting historic Charleston, why would you want to stay in a new condo when you can stay in a "Carolopolis" award winning historic building which has been newly renovated with all the modern conveniences?
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Slightly north of the College of Charleston on historic St. Philip Street this charming apartment is the perfect base to enjoy an enchanting Charleston experience. Charleston is like Rome, Italy in that most of the notable monuments and historic details are found in a fairly contained area. You can literally walk from the apartment to the southernmost extremes of the Historic District in under 30 minutes. This journey will take you through the Historic King Street District and the neighborhoods of Cannonborough, Elliottborough, Radcliffborough, Harleston Village and finally South of Broad until you reach the Battery itself.
TEAVEL INSURANCE AND CREDIT CARD INFO
We strongly advise during the month of September particularly, and some into October that you purchase trip insurance. It is the peak of hurricane season in our area. We do not offer refunds or date changes for any reason outside the cancellation period.
Amenities
Location
Nested within the vibrant Cannonborough neighborhood, St. Philip Square is a collection of 6 restored historic homes with a spacious shared courtyard that span an entire city square block of downtown Charleston.
Sitting neatly between Morris and Cannon Street, St. Philip Square is one short block from the hustle, bustle, wining and dining of Charleston’s famous King Street. Idyllically situated, we are less than half a mile to Calhoun Street and a stone’s throw from South of Broad. In short, location, location, location…
With our abodes originally dating back the early 1800s, St. Philip Square was carefully, intentionally and respectfully renovated by the end of 2020. Showing remarkable reverence for local history and devotion to the Lowcountry lifestyle, our accommodations have earned 5 coveted Carolopolis Awards from The Preservation Society and the esteemed Governor’s Award.
Acquired in the early 1990’s, St. Philip Square was grandfathered into offering permitted short-term vacation rentals by the City of Charleston. A rarity across downtown, this legacy allows our guests to experience the comfort of private luxury accommodations alongside the experience of true community immersion.
With an unprecedented walk score of 96, most guests leave their cars in our spacious, protected parking area and easily stroll down to the restaurants, bars, boutiques, galleries and more mere steps away from their suite.
Marrying new with nostalgia, ours is a uniquely Charleston experience. Explore our homes and suites or reserve your stay online today.

We loved our stay here! It was in walking distance to a lot of things, and the home itself was cute and large enough to fit 7 of us comfortably. Any time we needed anything or had questions we were answered right away.

Beautiful place to stay right in downtown Charleston. Walkable to many shops and restaurants. My favorite part was the porch. Classic Charleston porch was a great place to relax.

We loved this house, loved the location and Jamie was wonderful to deal with. Perfect accommodations for a group (there were 5 of us). The property was beautiful, well-maintained, comfortable and within walking or short driving distance to the best of Charleston and surroundings. Highly recommend this house and would love to come back again!
