We partner with an offsite resort called the Wonderer which is located in downtown Charleston, a short drive away. Our guests 25+ are able to visit the wonderer. There is a strict age policy, no one under 21 will be permitted (including the pool). Resort features : Olympic size pool (heated in winter) , Poolside Cabana (additional charge), Gym (classes at additional charge) , 2 bars , Restaurant , Private & Shared work space
*Disclaimer*
The Wonderer is a separate company. They reserve the right to alter availability due to events and no inconvenience credits with be given due to issues with the Wonderer. Availability is not guaranteed. We suggest booking in advance.

The entire property is available to guests. The courtyard is enclosed and private. There is one parking place dedicated to the property right in front of the cottage. The cottage is a stand alone, one story building so guests have complete privacy. However, Jamie’s office is next door if you need help.

Our office manager, Jamie, has her office on site and is very available for questions, luggage storage and other help. However, we don’t hover and give you as much privacy as you want.

Located just one block from King Street, St. Philip Square is a collection of 6 restored historic homes with a spacious shared courtyard and outdoor garden areas that span an entire city square block of downtown Charleston. 
 

We rate a 94 on the “walk score” which ranges from 0 to 100. Shops, restaurants and attractions are an easy walk. The routes north to Sullivans Island and Isle of Palms and south to Kiawah and Seabrook and Wadmalaw Islands or Drayton Hall and Middleton Place Plantation are easily accessed if you have a car. We guarantee one parking place right in front of the cottage. However bike taxis and Uber are a quick call away and city transportation is nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
The owner fell in love with Charleston when as a college student many years ago, he came to Charleston to teach children to sail and never left. He bought the St. Phillip Square cluster of properties and rented them on annual basis. Since then, he and his wife crossed the ocean on their sailboat with their three children and stayed in many vacation rentals. Upon returning to Charleston in 2017, the market had changed dramatically opening up this area to popular and legal short term rentals. He has owned this property since 1997 and has now made it available to short term rental.

Why they chose this property

This property features the best of Charleston! It offers the privacy of a stand alone property but is a manageable and comfortable size which is unusual in the midst of historic Charleston. Parking spot directly in driveway in front of Cottage.
The location of the cottage should be noted. Recently Charleston has imposed very restrictive rules on short term renting. This particular area is the only area that allows short term renting (under 30 days) without the owner being present. Moreover, this property is located in the most southern part of the legal short term rental area so it is the closest you can be to the South of Broad/Calhoun St. historic districts without the owner being present and still be legal. We are between Cannon and Morris Streets on St Philip St. Study the map before making decisions.

What makes this property unique

This charming cottage is nestled among historic award winning properties whilst offering one-story modern convenience and comfort. Large kitchen is fully equipped with microwave and coffee maker. It is professionally decorated, attractive and charming with a mix of antiques and carefully selected objects in the Charleston tradition. There is off-street parking for two cars.

This property is ideally located in the legally designated short term rental district.
