Historic 1905 Charming Bungalow 2 Blocks From King

Summary:
Stay at our beautifully renovated flagship property under The Dunes brand! We acquired this amazing 1905 Charleston Victorian duplex home in the heart of the popular and trendy Cannonborough neighborhood in September 2019 and completely renovated with professional interior design in January 2022. Just 2 blocks from King Street, this rear unit bungalow offers 2 bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, a queen sleeper sofa and 1 bathroom with tub.

The Space:
This rear unit, Driftwood Cottage at the Dunes on Spring, is 730 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The polished pine hardwood floors are reminiscent of the early 1900s while the decor lends a chic and trendy atmosphere. Bright and private, this bungalow boasts new appliances and a washer and dryer for a perfect home away from home.

Great stay!! Perfect location, walking distance to so many great restaurants and activities. The beds were super comfortable as well and had plenty of towels which was great. The hosts were so flexible with our schedule, we arrived super late (1 AM) and had zero issues getting in which was ideal. Highly recommend staying here!

We are vrbo owners ourselves, so we know what to look for in a rental. The cleaning company has overlooked things like the air ducts, and the pull out sofa, behind/ under furniture. Otherwise, it’s a very cute place, small, but great location. I’m unclear as to why the bungalow does not get the parking directly next to the door, instead that is for the front of the house.

The beds were comfortable but the pillows were not. We could not sleep on them. The toilet was very low to the ground. I own rentals and the first thing I changed was the old toilets. The unit was in the rear of the building but provided no off-street parking. The ceiling fan did not work in the one bedroom.

An easy walk to anything we would want to visit and a quick drive to get groceries or do tourist things. Parking was an issue. The only dedicated parking space was reserved for the other unit. Not sure why as it is literally outside our door. We had to squeeze around their car to get to our front door. Street parking was a huge challenge the one night we got back late. We had to circle the block at least 6 times till we finally found a space.The neighboring property has an incredibly bright light that comes on at dusk and shines in the windows all night long. I sleep in a dark room at home and some room darkening curtains would have been greatly appreciated. The kitchen was well-stocked (bring your own salt/pepper and plastic wrap or foil) and the appliances are a dream! The beds were super comfy and the whole place was cozy and bit rustic. We enjoyed our stay!

Very nice property and just as described in the listing. Location is great - the unit is on the back side of a house on a major road leading onto the downtown peninsula. We were there Fri - Sun and didn’t drive much. It was easy to catch an Uber in front of the house. We did walk back from brunch at Poogan s Porch on Saturday. It was just over a mile and totally doable. Inside the unit was very clean and comfy. Not a ton of space, but enough for us to use as a jumping off point. Both bedrooms were basically identical with comfy queen beds. Communication with the host was very good though I did have to ask for the entry code 10 mins after our check-in time. Not a big deal since they responded right away. We’ll definitely consider this property again in the future!

We love the property! The only thing we would have changed would be adding blackout curtains in the bedrooms. The security light at the adjoining property made it feel like broad daylight in the middle of the night. Also, didn’t get our door code at 2p. Tried to message and text and finally had to call someone. Not big issues and would stay again!

Charleston terrific. Spring Street great.

Two friends from different places met in the middle for a one-week vacation. We loved that Charleston is so walkable .... easy access to everything on foot (or free buses).79 Spring Street was a great location and the apartment was nearly perfect.

Not ample hot water

Really wanted this to be a five star review but a rental of any kind, age and location has to have ample hot water to take a shower. Next to cleanliness and water pressure, having ample hot water is most important. The bungalow was very cute, quaint and historic. Very well renovated. Lots of space and comfort and amenities. Location was great. Just need more than 5 minutes of hot water. Can’t recommend this property nor would I be back in the future, unless they get a hot water heater upgrade.

Exceeded expectations

Great location…close enough to walk to King Street, Charleston Market, and Rainbow Row and far enough away to avoid noise from King Street on a busy Friday/Saturday night. Easy to find street parking with permits onsite (greatly appreciated) from the owner. Really appreciated all the towels and pillows provided. Very clean and clear instructions on how to check out. Great place for my adult daughter and I to enjoy some quality time in a fun city to visit. Thanks so much!

Cleanliness was an issue. Hadn’t been dusted in a while. No toilet paper. The floors are older and wooden, so there were large broken and uneven areas. My son got several splinters in his feet so we had to make sure we kept our shoes on.
