About this property

The Most Charming Old Brick Alley, Charleston

Summary:
This gorgeous house at the end of a quiet cobblestone alley is just one block away from upper King Street, the epicenter of the city's renowned restaurant and nightlife district. This home comes with ONE off-street parking space. Enjoy some of Charleston's best local dining all within one block of this home! Come experience Charleston's southern hospitality while staying in a traditional Charleston home.

Please note this unit is handicap inaccessible.

The Space:
This is a three story well appointed home. Being off the street makes this a quiet place to stay, but a stone's throw from the lively King Street when you don't feel like being quiet. Guests enter from the piazza on the second floor. This home is perfect for the foodie with a large fully equipped kitchen, dining area for 6, and spacious living area. The kitchen includes a full size fridge, microwave, toaster oven, stovetop, oven, dishwasher, dinnerware, pots & pans, and cooking tools. There is a washer dryer on the first floor for those who stay longer and wish to do laundry.

Guests will find the master bedroom with en suite bath on the third floor. The bathroom includes double sinks, garden tub and separate stand up shower. An additional half bath is located on the third floor.

The additional two bedrooms and second full bath are located on the first floor. The courtyard is accessed through one of the downstairs bedrooms.

VRBO is a re-seller, not our website. We list openings not already booked on our site here and on other booking portals that re-sell available nights at a higher rate to cover their surcharges & booking fees. What you get for this premium: You get an easy to use mobile platform and a quality assurance guarantee from VRBO that we as a management company will deliver the property as advertised.

Personally, we use VRBO when traveling to remote areas that do not have strong locally based property management companies and have had good luck with it. We are happy to have our homes available on this site.

Guest Access:
This is a private home, guests will have access to the entire home.

The Neighborhood:
The property is located in the Cannonborough Elliotborough neighborhood of Downtown Charleston, which is considered the most upcoming area on the peninsula. The neighborhood is perfect for a couple or a group who is looking to fully embrace Charleston's unique charm. Step right outside your door and find a wonderfully curated mix of shops, bars, bakeries, and dining. We recommend grabbing a coffee at Brown's Court Bakery before exploring King Street, Charleston's ultimate epicenter of shops and restaurants, which is just one short block from the property. Our guests have a wide selection of walkable dinner options, some of our favorites include Chez Nous, Chubby Fish, Bistronomy by Nico, and Vern's. Come experience all that our beautiful city has to offer!

Getting Around:
Most everything is within walking distance. If guests do have a car, we provide ONE off-street parking space. We suggest to bring an economy size vehicle to help with getting around Charleston's narrow downtown streets; although the more adventurous do bring larger vehicles.
Uber and Lyft are always available downtown; so, if you wander far, it's easy to catch a ride back. Charleston also has a free downtown shuttle that has a circuit around the downtown area.

Other Things to Note:
• 2 night minimum stay
• Please note our strict cancellation policy
• Stairs are required for access
• City of Charleston Operational Permit OP2023-03589

Interaction with Guests:
We are available to assist our guests with any issues that may arise.

Great Place!

We had a family wedding in town and this was the perfect place to stay! We were able to walk to our events and we thoroughly enjoyed being in a home since it felt like a real taste of Charleston. I would highly recommend this place and we hope to come back soon.

Charming Charleston

This house was an amazing place for our family to stay! The location was excellent with everything we needed in walking distance. Short distance away from Folly Beach and Boone plantation. This was one of the cleanest VRBO houses we’ve stayed in (thank you cleaning crew)! Nice personal touch with the welcome package on the counter upon our arrival! I can’t say enough above this house! We would stay here again and highly recommend to others!!

Ideal landing spot for a couple nights out

The house was a fantastic, hidden away oasis that our group was able to touch down at in between bars and restaurants. Having morning coffees on the porch or evening drinks away from the bustle of the King St. activity was so pleasant and relaxing. Very comfortable and management did great by us during our stay.

Charleston Charm

This property is well-kept and has so much character. We enjoyed the location and proximity to King street. The home was very comfortable for our family of five. The parking in the alleyway was tight for a Suburban, but still worked out .

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home in downtown Charleston. We were able to walk to each and every venue we chose for shopping and dining. It is a very safe and quiet neighborhood. The house is elegant and cozy. Our group of 6 were very comfortable and found that everything we needed was supplied by our host.

Perfect Charleston getaway

We stayed at this property for three nights, a perfect amount of time to see so many sites in town and tour the college with our teen daughters. The home is picture perfect, had all the charm and character we were looking for along with amenities. The house is beautifully appointed, with lovely furniture and linens. I’m a stickler for clean bathrooms and both were sparkling and had plenty of towels. The location is perfect to walk to King street, pick up coffee in the morning or walk to campus. Highly recommend!
