We had 2 couples that stayed in this property for an extended weekend. It was absolutely perfect. The communication with the property manager was flawless and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. The location was great -- a short walk from King St. My wife and I are runners, so we had a great location to run around the entire peninsula. Just love the architecture and history of Charleston. A 5-star vacation in every way.

Perfect place for a family

This was a great location, not too far from the main shopping and eating areas in Charleston. The Cannon House was a refreshing break from staying in traditional hotels.

Beautiful place!

We stayed for just one night as a little get away before the busy holiday season ramped up. The house was gorgeous and cleaned to perfection. The check in process was supper easy! It was close to everything or just a short 5-10 minute drive. We are already planning another trip to stay here and see more sights! We loved it!

Great Stay in Charleston

We loved our stay here and would definitely book this rental again. As another reviewer pointed out, it does not have a table for eating, but we found ourselves eating on the patio or at one of the nearby neighborhood restaurants (especially loved Brown’s Court Bakery). Easy drive to Isle of Palms and walk to King street. Beds were very comfortable and the city noise did not bother us. Appreciated the beautiful decor.

Cute and cozy.

Perfect location for walking to restaurants and to King street. It is a busy street during the week days with commuters in the AM and an active weekend street in the evening. I didn’t mind but some might. Just bring earplugs if you are a sensitive sleeper. Overall I would stay here again. The historic neighborhood was great.

Wonderful!!

The was cute and beautiful. Perfect location. Great communication from the owner. Charleston is a great town to take your time and soak and enjoy. TV was a bit tough to use because we were not familiar with streaming, but that was the only issue…..and the owner did their best to get us going on that. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Quaint home

The property was very nice. Very clean. Very nicely decorated. A good half hour walk to King Street. If you sleep in the front room, the traffic is extremely loud and busy.You will need to bring earplugs for sure. Comfy beds though. But really a lovely home for a getaway!
