Charleston, SC, United States

Dedicated off-street parking is included right by the entrance.
Good to know
Set in Charleston’s Historic District near lower King Street, the French Quarter, Colonial Lake, and The Battery, this private residence gives you the best of both worlds: walkable access to Charleston’s restaurants, galleries, shops, historic tours, and waterfront sights — with a peaceful residential setting to return to at night. Rather than staying in a busy hotel corridor or dense visitor zone, you’ll be tucked inside one of Charleston’s classic historic neighborhoods, surrounded by leafy streets, beautiful architecture, and long-time residential character. Inside, your private 1,000 sq. ft. residence feels like a boutique hotel suite within an 1850s Charleston home. Original 12-ft ceilings, polished wood floors, tall sash windows, natural light, and historic details create a refined, quietly luxurious retreat, while thoughtful modern comforts make the stay easy. **Sleep** * Serene king bedroom with luxe linens, historic details, and a comfortable bed * Curtained sunroom with a second king bed for flexible sleeping arrangements * Ideal for couples, two friends, a small family, or guests who prefer extra sleeping space * Quiet setting for rest, despite being close to so much of downtown Charleston **Live** * Comfortable living room with large flatscreen TV * Strong Wi-Fi and comfortable places to work remotely * Premium washer and dryer for longer stays or lighter packing * Thoughtful extras including charging cords, umbrellas, local guides, and small details to make the stay easier **Cook** The kitchen is unusually well stocked for a downtown Charleston stay and works well for coffee, breakfast, snacks, or full meals. Includes: * Bosch gas stove and oven * Bosch dishwasher * Full-size refrigerator with filtered water and ice * Instant boiling water dispenser * Keurig and drip coffee maker * Microwave and blender * Cookware, dinnerware, glassware, and silverware **Refresh** * Modern spa-style bathroom with sleek rain shower * Strong hot water, quality towels, toiletries, and thoughtful little details **Outdoor Space** Enjoy your private courtyard with historic Charleston battery benches, a fountain, and greenery. It is a guest favorite for morning coffee, afternoon wine, or a quiet reset between walks around the city. **Parking** Dedicated private off-street parking is included right by the entrance — a major convenience in downtown Charleston. Many guests park once and explore the city on foot. An on-site EV charger is also available if needed. **Who This Home Is For** This home is ideal for guests who want Charleston’s architecture, dining, galleries, historic streets, and waterfront within walking distance — then want to return to a calm, private retreat instead of a late-night party scene. If your ideal Charleston stay is a great dinner on lower King, an easy walk home, and a quiet glass of wine in a hidden courtyard, you’ll feel right at home.
Other Details to Note
As with many 170-year-old historic Charleston homes, the original heart-pine floors have natural unevenness, adding to the character of the space. The home was also built before modern residential plumbing, so there is a small step up to both the kitchen and bathroom. These features are typical of properties in this era and part of the home’s unique charm.
