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!

Conveniently located near shopping and restaurants, clean, well stocked coffee bar, nice wine glasses, aesthetically pleasing with updates without sacrificing character, good parking, and very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Charleston with our daughter and son in law for a few days of relaxation after Christmas.
Management communicated clearly with us plenty before getting there and then when we were there I had a couple of minor questions that they answered right away! The house was clean and well stocked. It was the perfect location downtown and most attractions were within a short walk. It was a longer walk to the waterfront but that was not a problem for us. We really enjoyed our time there! The porch was great!

Our party of 6 was looking for a great place to stay together to experience the heart of downtown Charleston. This place was perfect with all it's updated amenities while still maintaining it's Southern Charm. Very clean, well supplied kitchen and bathroom necessities. Walking distance to all the action on King St. Host was very responsive. Would recommend this place. Stayed at 176a.

Thank you for the kind words about our property. We are glad you and your group enjoyed your stay and hope to see you on your next visit to Charleston. Best, Jamie
Home away from home comfort in the heart of the city.
This was our third stay at St. Philips Square. Our unit was the perfect gathering place for visiting family during our Charleston stay. The comfortable porch where we took our coffee to start the day, the living room, and the huge kitchen, with everything we could possible need was wonderful. The bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, were beautifully decorated and the beds and pillows ensured we slept soundly after long days. The entire property is a beautiful haven in a busy city.
Had a wonderful time at this property and in Charleston. Our host Jaime and the staff were exceptional and available. They made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The Christmas tree was a nice touch.The apartment was perfect. Many nice amenities to make our stay comfortable. Plenty of exceptional towels, full size shampoo and bath items, toilet paper, hair dryersand a nice surprise, coffee. Definitely an upgrade from other VRBOs we have been to. They even provided sound machines in each bedroom if you had trouble settling in for the night. Lots of kitchen necessities if you wanted to cook.Location was perfect. Very safe. Many great restaurants, shops and historical sites within walking distance. The Visitor's Center is a must to help make the most of your stay.Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property. It can also be opened up to the other units/apartments to create a space for large families. Loved Charleston. Everyone is so friendly.
