Perfect Location

We planned a last minute trip to Charleston and were able to book this cozy cottage in the most perfect location! We were able to walk everywhere, restaurants on East Bay, the Battery and City Market. The bed was so comfortable and the courtyard was perfect for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. The petite kitchen was suitable for a light breakfast just make sure you have patience while using the stove. Would definitely book again! Thanks for a great visit!

Quaint, historic, with great location

The good: Perfect spot for exploring historic Charleston. Very cozy and very historic cottage. Clean. Cool MCM kitchenette. Comfy bed. Cute old shower. Not so good: Street parking resulted in parking up to 3 blocks away, several times. Stairs were tight. This is definitely not a place for someone who cannot walk alot or climb a ladder-like stairway. Wifi was completely unreliable. Couldn't use the gas fireplace because it seemed to be leaking and caused a concerning smell. Person who "checked us in" would not respond to my call/texts.

Fantastic Location

Great location in the historic area of Charleston. We were lucky to have found this. You have to go up and down stairs between the living room and the bedroom/bathroom. Those who are stair challenged should find another place.

Charleston

The location is awesome. I love history and the setting is right out of the 1700's with a few modern up grades, perfect for two people that like to walk around town and be in the center of old Charleston. The host were very accommodating. We will defiantly return for another visit.

Great Location

Wonderful little cottage in south of Broad historic district. Small kitchen and sitting room with fireplace downstairs and bed and bathroom upstairs. Off street parking. The cottage was originally the kitchen for the main house. Lovely private garden and courtyard to sit and relax. Hosts live in main house, so they are available if you need anything.

Musty Living Conditions

Sadly, this is my first negative review of a vacation rental. However, others should be aware of the following. Upon entering our rental, we were shocked by the musty odor. During our 5 night stay, we ran the dehumidifier the entire time, emptying the full container of water twice a day. The dehumidifier filter was filthy, so my husband cleaned it. As our stay progressed, the air quality improved. Since I am sensitive to musty odors, I stayed out of the rental as much as possible. There were numerous other reasons for not recommending this rental, including dirty, uncomfortable furniture, dangerous staircase, dirty utensil drawer, etc. I do not understand how this property received so many ratings of 4 and 5. On the positive, this was a wonderful location. In addition, the rental included an enjoyable courtyard, which is where we spent our time when we were not sightseeing.

Best Hosts Evet

The Middleton’s are wonderful hosts. We checked in early and Mrs Middleton had muffins, fruit and a bottle of wine waiting for us. Our accommodations were fantastic. A part of history. The king size bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our wine in the courtyard. Also, we were right in the middle of everything but it was still quiet. And the off street parking was an added bonus. We loved our stay and our hosts!

Being a part of history!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this historic spot. The Middletons were delightful hosts and were happy to make sure we were well taken care of! Southern hospitality for sure! We were very interested in hearing the history of the property from Mr. Middleton. The location was perfect!!! Walking distance to everything. The free parking was also very convenient.
