About this property

All of three blocks to historic downtown Charleston’s bustling Calhoun Street, our Carolopolis Award winning John Bulow House was build in the late 1800’s before undergoing a full renovation in 1996. Carefully marrying new with nostalgia, we lovingly maintained historic details while incorporating modern amenities.

Perfect for a romantic escape or small group getaway, our first-floor A2 apartment features two bedrooms and two full baths. Enter through the gathering space featuring professional decor and, if of interest, a queen-sized sofa bed.

One bedroom has a spacious king bed and comes complete with en ensuite bathroom laid in marble and shiplap detail. The other bedroom also has a lovely king bed with a bathroom right across the hall.

Step outside onto your charming porch or enjoy an evening cocktail in our private, recently revamped courtyard.

As our guest, you’ll be given convenient parking and a delightfully unique space to call your own during your Charleston getaway that is mere steps away from all that historic downtown has to offer.

Wonderful apartment

What a delightful apartment. It was beautifully decorated & furnished. Everything was as pictured and promised. A very nice surprise were the several outdoor seating areas with softly flowing fountains, all separated by low hedges for privacy. Plenty of parking, really beautiful landscaping, and all well maintained.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

We are long time Charlestonians in a 50-year marriage who long ago invested in this beautiful city. After sailing the Atlantic to Europe with our three children and living half the year in different ports, and after discovering the joys of VRBO, we have returned home and are now turning our apartments into short term rentals and sharing wonderful Charleston with fellow travelers. We have a complex known as St Philip Square which has been a huge hit with our guests. We have 1-4 bedroom apartments which make the perfect place for wedding families or family reunions or business retreats.
My husband and I are assisted by our lovely and well loved Jamie who manages to solve any and every problem. Our daughter with her law degree knows all the best places to eat and is ready to help you organize your wedding accommodations. She had rather help us and take care of her children than practice law! One of us can usually solve your problems.
We have had many ventures (business, sales, world travel, psychology and teaching) but are finding designing and renovating our apartments has opened a new world to us and has allowed us to meet new people as hosts rather than as guests ourselves. (We still love to travel and always use VRBO).

Why they chose this property

When we bought these properties in 1996 Charleston was just beginning to open the upper peninsula to restoration. We were brave pioneers. Our son who had the foresight urged us on. Now the area has become the hottest, most vibrant part of town. When we ride down King St at night we are blown away by the excitement, the energy, the joy, the fun. The lower peninsula is lovely but it is very quiet and has little commercial activity. In Cannonborough there are corner grocery stores, boutiques, fantastic restaurants, lively bars. We probably did not really believe our son but he sure was right.

What makes this property unique

St Philip Square uniquely offers 8 properties within a "square" that opens onto a shared parking area. Each apartment is a separate unit and has its own qualities. It is the perfect opportunity for groups of all sizes to organize a joint rental but each apartment is separate and its own place. The VRBO numbers are listed here:
1446527. 1531369. 1351757. 1662029. 834186. 7841346. 7841344. 567555
If you put these numbers into a VRBO search without dates you will be able to view each listing.
