About this property

M2 at Saint Philip Square, One Block to King, Cozy Two Story Stay, Garden Views

Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes that spans nearly one city block of downtown Charleston-The Emma McCall House at 174 Unit #2 St. Philip St. This 3-bed, 3-bath two level apartment has private porches on both levels and is located just one block from King Street. Recognized with five Carolopolis Awards and the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration, this retreat is perfect for families or groups seeking an authentic Charleston experience.

Bedroom 1 – King bed, exposed original ceiling beams, large windows offering natural light.
Bedroom 2 – Queen bed, ensuite bath, exposed beams, furnished with historic charm.
Bedroom 3 – King bed, ensuite bath, cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, dressing/writing table.

Bathroom 1 - Marble and tile shower, separate handheld shower, glass shower door.
Bathroom 2 - Ensuite bath, glass door, rain shower head, and separate handheld shower.
Bathroom 3 - Ensuite bath with bathtub and shower.

Living Room – Bright and open with plush seating, a flat-screen TV, elegant historic accents.

Kitchen – Fully stocked, combination Keurig pod / drip coffee maker, all the small gadgets.

- Landscaped parking for 1 vehicle.

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!

Offsite Resort Amenities:
Access to The Wonderer, an exclusive adult-only resort downtown Charleston 2.6 miles away from Saint Philip Square (guests 25+ only; no one under 21 permitted at the pool).
Olympic-sized heated pool (cabana rentals available).
Gym and fitness classes (additional charges apply).
Onsite bars, restaurant, and workspaces.
Note: The Wonderer is a separate entity, and availability may vary. Book in advance for guaranteed access.

Saint Philip Square is an award-winning collection of 6 historic buildings meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. “M2” is one of seventeen unique rentals. The grounds feature outdoor garden areas with fountains, dining areas, fire pits and covered barbecues. In the evenings, this oasis sparkles with outdoor lighting, making it the perfect place for nightcaps after a day of exploring.

This place was perfect for 2 couples wanting king beds. The third bedroom with queen served as a good home office room. Having two levels, both with a veranda, was amazing, especially the second floor veranda.

Beautiful Charleston

The house is perfectly located—close to shops, restaurants, and the college, but it is also on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood. It served as a good base of operations to explore the rest of Charleston, too.

You can't go wrong staying here!

I stayed here for a getaway with two friends. We were so pleased with the accommodations inside and out. Our unit was very clean and had plenty of space. The outside might have been even better with a courtyard and wrap around porches. It's in a great location and we walked everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had an amazing stay here. The property was exactly as described in the listing. Plenty of room for our group. One couple and two singles. We each had our own room and bathroom. The kitchen/living area was perfectly sized for us. Lots of extras like coffee soap paper goods shower stuff and even umbrellas which we unexpectedly needed. The property was well kept with lots of beautiful outdoor spaces. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants on King St and having a parking spot was very helpful for our short car rides. Jamie reached out ahead of time with tons of useful info and very nicely detailed so we had no communication issues at all. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

The house was everything and more than expected. The bedrooms and bathrooms are small but just want you needed. The amenities were more than expected. There is a beautiful courtyard just out the door if you have a few moments to just sit outside. The manager Jamie was wonderful to work with.

Great property - great location!!

We needed to place to stay, near King St., for our family (six of us) to attend a wedding. While physical appearance of the unit completely met our expectations, it was the surrounding grounds on the site that was even more impressive! Small, intimate seating areas around small fountains or gas fireplaces made the stay even better for us to "host" other members of the wedding party on our last night. This is the second time in less than a year that my wife & I have been to Charleston and, on our next visit, this is the FIRST place we'll check to see if anything is available.

Perfect location

We stayed in this property while in town for a family wedding. The home is in a great location and within walking distance to many stores and restaurants. The home was furnished with anything you may need including coffee, dish soap, pots/pans/ dishes, glassware, laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo and conditioner and hair dryers. Check-in was smooth and communication with the owner was always quick. Jamie was very easy to work with. The parking permit is a plus and nice to have a dedicated place to park. The courtyard area was so nice and we saw people daily cleaning the fountains, blowing leaves off the walkways, etc. It was very clean and well-kept. There is construction on a building right by the property so there was construction noise each morning at 7 am; this has nothing to do with the owners or the property - but just a heads up in case you are staying here in the near future. St. Phillips Square would be an excellent place to stay for a larger group. It is a beautiful place.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
Bill and Jacquelin are lifelong Charlestonians who have raised our family in Charleston. We are passionate about everything "Charleston"--history, culture, architecture. We spent 20 years on our sailboat in Europe, staying in VRBO places whenever we could. While we love Europe, we feel Charleston gives you the best European experience in America but also offers the best of modern American life. We bought the properties at SaintPhilipSquare in 1996 and began converting them to short term rental in 2010 because we believe these historic properties give visitors the best opportunity to live like a Charlestonian. We love the VRBO concept and always stay in VRBO properties when we travel.

Jamie, our capable manager for over 25 years, is the "magic" of SaintPhilipSquare as you will find from the reviews.

Why they chose this property

The location and the way the area is cared for is top of the list of most commented. We are unique as we can accommodate from 2 to 72, or even higher, in our individual, beautifully appointed apartments. Our apartments are set in a beautiful area that is warm and inviting and makes the property feel so luxurious. We have staff available, if needed, who love working here at SaintPhilipSquare and are happy to help with anything you may need. We look forward to hosting you!
