This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

Love this place! The layout of the buildings and the fountain and fire pits in the courtyard was amazing. Couldn’t wait to get up every morning and have coffee on the front porch. We did the food and Wine Festival and also hopped around downtown Charleston. Great location! Great weekend!
A lovely home in a great location that’s just a short walk to shops and restaurants! The home is well appointed and offers plenty of places to gather with friends, both indoor and out.
This property was perfect for our 9 person girls trip. There were enough beds and bathrooms for everyone,

We had a great time in Charleston. The property was well maintained and in a great location. Plenty of space for all 5 of us in the house. Would definitely rent here again!
Great experience for bachelorette party in Charleston!
We had an excellent stay here in Charleston for a long weekend. Very spacious and clean, and there was good attention to detail to make this a great stay! Our favorite part was the porch area and outdoor fountains/pools.
The apartment was beautifully decorated. It was light, spotless, had a wide front porch with seating and lounging areas in the wonderful garden. We all felt pampered and comfortable. It was located in a hip neighborhood with an easy mile or so walk to the historic part of Charleston. Jamie was an attentive property manager.

You checked all the boxes—loads of room, beautifully furnished, great location. I know you also loved the gardens, splash pools and fire tables right in front. Thanks for you review! Hope you will come back.
We had the most wonderful experience in this perfect home! Not only is it beautiful, but fully stocked with all essentials and so very comfortable and accommodating. We would book this house again in a heartbeat!

“Beautiful..fully stocked...comfortable...accommodating”—
Thanks for your lovely words and 5 star review. It was a pleasure to host you. We have other places at St Philip Square that are on the same level so we hope you will tell your friends about us and hope you will come back!
We stayed for a 3 night get-away in Charleston. Great location - one block off of King Street. Jamie, the property manager, was very easy to get in touch with and super helpful. Great bedrooms. Small, but fully stocked kitchen. We would stay again!
House was beautiful and comfortable. Every amenity possible. Great location for dinning and accessibility to city and surrounding areas. Walked to almost everywhere we wanted to eat and shop. Enjoyed visits to plantations , beaches and Fort Sumter. Fun Packed Weekend!
This was the perfect setting for a group of 9 ladies in our family, ages 33 to 80 to celebrate our mothers’ 80th birthday. Three generations for 4 wonderful days in Charleston!
The house was immaculate and all the little conveniences made the stay so perfect! So well stocked in the bathrooms and kitchen, perfect location for exploring Charleston, and great communication from the host.
Thank you for truly providing a home away from home!

Thank you Kelley. Our dream for this unit was for it to work for a group like yours. Multi generations able to relax, spread out but be together. I know you also enjoyed overlooking the gardens with pool/fountain right in front of the porch. Thanks for your gracious review.
We truly enjoyed this property. We walked to everything, the property exceeds the representative pictures on the website, the grounds are beautiful, the check in/out process was simple, there is indoor and outdoor gathering space but also enough space for individual privacy, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the beds are very comfortable. We did not utilize the management service as they were not needed. We will be back.
We had a wonderful stay in Charleston. This property is very spacious and nicely decorated. It looks better than in pictures.
Location is perfect for walking around Charleston’s downtown , near King street where everything seems to happen, shopping, coffee shops and restaurants.
The kitchen has everything you need , all looks new and good quality.
The only down side was, we could hear everything from the upstairs apartment and if you have a sensitive sleep this could be a problem .
All in all I highly recommend this property !!!

Thank you for your review. We are adding noise control. We appreciate your letting us know.
What a great location & all first floor living ! 1 block over from King St. this house was perfect for my MIL who is mobile but uses a wheelchair / very spacious rooms & all amenities needed for a long weekend
Modern upgrades & very clean
Will note these homes are older and guest above you you will hear but was never a issue for us ! Charleston is a lively town so expected it!
We will be back for sure !
Thank you Melissa & Jamie
This property was even better than the pictures represented! Oh so clean and well appointed and loved having en suite bathrooms for each bedroom. There was only one couple and they of course had the king, my 85 year old mother had no problem getting up and down the outside stairs with help, I slept on the very comfortable murphy bed (room was equipped with a TV & kitchenette) and my grown nephews were fine in the room with 2 beds. The owner Jamie has thought of everything- full shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in each bathroom, makeup remover wipes, nightlights in the bathrooms as well as hair dryers. The only thing missing were the chocolates on the pillows! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any group as there is plenty of seating both inside, on the piazza and in the garden area (unfortunately it was too cold to enjoy the outdoors for too long). The location was great and the few times we didn’t use our own car to go anywhere that we couldn’t walk too, we used Uber (one of the wheelchairs we rented was broken and the rental place ran out) and the rides to the market and historical homes we toured were about $8 one way. I am ready to go back! A great Thanksgiving, making wonderful memories and eating fabulous food!

All the best, Jacquelin at SaintPhilipSquare
We stayed in 174B St Philip St with a party of 4 adults and 1 child, in town for a wedding. I have stayed in a lot of rentals over the past 15-20 years, and this is probably in the top 3 for the shear beauty/quality of the rental. The décor is fantastic. Beautiful finishes, floors, furniture and art work. Lovely lighting. Great fluffy white towels and plenty of gray wash clothes! Full size Dove toiletries, Neutrogena face wipes. Well chosen dishes and glasses (plenty of wine glasses) and everything you need to cook a fantastic meal if you so choose. Firm, comfortable beds, including the Murphy Bed. Big TV in the living room. Plenty of seating. Lovely front porch with nice furniture to entertain.
The property is well located to Cannon Street and King Street. Two parking spots if you need a car.
The only downside that should be mentioned are two important items, depending on your party or preferences. One, when you are in the downstairs unit, you can hear every footstep upstairs. I could not hear any talking or sound, but the hardwoods did make each footstep audible. We were blessed with neighbors who came home each night at 2 AM but went to bed within 10-15 minutes. So, overall we were not bothered. And honestly, we were all exhausted and ready to sleep.
Second, when we arrived late on Friday night from the airport, we could hear all the music and laughter and shouting from the bars that back this particular house (and not all of them at 174 do). I was very worried no one would sleep, especially me, who hates hearing the party when trying to sleep. We used the white noise apps on our i-pads turned up high or ear plugs and made it through the night, all getting a good night sleep. We ourselves didn't get home until about 1:00 AM on Saturday and it was not as loud as Friday.
So, with that said, I would definitely stay again. I would also consider another unit within the group at 174 to possibly not be backed up to King. And again, one of the best properties I have ever stayed in from around the world and the US!

Everything from check in to check out was super easy!! The place was in a great location just one block from King Street. House was as pictured. The outside patio areas very so nice . I would definitely recommend this !!

It was a pleasure hosting you. We are so happy you enjoyed our new garden spaces.
My husband and I along with my brother in law and his wife had a wonderful time. The property is perfectly located. Kings St is one block over. There were many restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance for us to choose from. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed. The grounds surrounding the property were peaceful and serene. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Charleston.
