Beautiful home

My family and I were visiting Charlestown for our cousins wedding. We had a great time exploring the city and had a beautiful home to come back to and relax. James was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Check in and check out was quick and simple. We were all extremely happy with our stay and would happily book again.

Amazing house!

We had the best experience with both the host and the house. The host was always quick to respond and the house was even better and more spacious than the photos. It was very clean, fully stocked and in a super cute area of town. Every single bed was extremely comfortable too. I will definitely be staying here again!

Charleston 6 Crew

My friends and I went for a girls’ getaway- first time in this city. This house was perfect for us. We liked the layout of the place, the charm, and how it was a ten minute drive to King Street. The host James was amazing. He was responsive and helpful with recommendations. He asked for our ETA and then went over to the house to turn on the porch light for us. He was an attentive host and you can tell he takes pride in his property. We highly recommend this host and place.

Great house, location and host

A group of 7 college girlfriends turning 60 just stayed at this beautiful home and had a wonderful vacation. It was very comfortable, has a great porch and back patio, is located just far away but also close enough to the downtown area and the host James was so accommodating. He quickly answered any questions before and during our stay. Highly recommend this great property if you're ever visiting Charleston.

Beautiful home on a quiet and small family friendly park

We had the best stay at the Lord Ashley in October. James was the kindest host and was even able to accommodate our early check in and check out time due to delayed and changed flights. The house was in perfect shape and had everything we needed. The perfect stay while in Charleston!

Gal pal get together in Charleston

We loved all the space in the house, the cleanliness, and the very well stocked kitchen. Lots of wonderful restaurants within walking distance, walk to the free downtown shuttle. I'd stay here again if it wasn't for the horrendous cross country trip to get there! ALso loved having the little park across the street. Would recommend to friends.

Great Stay

We rented this property for a bachelorette party with 7 girls and had a great stay. James was incredibly friendly and even let us extend our check out time because we had flights to catch later in the day. The house was adorable and everything was very clean. I would highly recommend this house for larger groups. My only suggestion is to add a floor length mirror upstairs.

Wonderful Trip!

Trip to Charleston was a much needed vacation! We toured around, visited Fort Sumter and overall enjoyed ourselves. My husband & I were here with another couple and this was the perfect place for us! Having a beautiful home to return to was wonderful. Clean and so very comfortable. We loved sitting out on the porch. Beds were very comfy. James was a fantastic host.

Great house! Great location!

We enjoyed our stay very much, the location was perfect for getting downtown it's just a quick five minute Uber ride. Walkable to some great breakfast spots and terrific restaurants. Highly recommend staying at this location, also highly recommend visiting Harold's cabin, Melfi's's, and Leon's if you're in that area. Look forward to another visit someday soon. My girlfriends and I we're celebrating a big mile stone birthday and enjoyed ourselves immensely! Host James was easy to get in touch with and we and we appreciated his quick response when we reached out for just some quick questions/concerns. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.

Incredible group house in great Charleston neighborhood

A group of friends and I stayed in this house this spring, and the experience was amazing. The neighborhood is really unique and cool, with historic houses and great restaurants that are all walkable. Plenty of space in the house to spread out. The kitchen is one of the best I've ever seen in a rental house. Host is incredibly accommodating, responsive, and helpful with recommendations. Would highly recommend this house for groups of friends or families looking to have an authentic Charleston experience.

Spacious house, charming location, wonderful host!

My family (all adults) converged on Charleston from various places around the country. We needed a place that offered "nooks and crannies" so that people could break off from the group for quiet chats or solo time. The side porch, the sitting area near the primary suite, and the utterly HUGE kitchen--in addition to the comfy living room--worked perfectly for us. Across the street is a charming park with a central fountain and interesting plants, many of which were blooming at Thanksgiving. The park, too, became a space for more memory-making and conversation. The neighborhood is architecturally significant and very quiet at night. We enjoyed watching the "dog parade" of humans and their pets; the area seems safe as well. The heart of downtown Charleston is an easy 25-minute walk, and just minutes by car. James is the perfect host. He communicated clearly and downright joyfully. And when my husband caused the disposal to back up (butternut squash peelings), James came over on *Thanksgiving Day morning* to address the problem! Turns out, he's from an old Charleston family and justifiably proud of his city. We could have chatted with him all day but sent him on his way to enjoy his holiday. The kitchen is well-equipped and large enough for three or four people to work in. Beds were firm and comfy; everything was clean. Check-in a breeze! We're already thinking of booking for next year.

Beautiful Neighborhood with Easy Downtown Access (Take Advantage of the Bikes!!!)

From the date of booking through the end of our stay, our host James was welcoming and there to answer any questions (as well as offer plenty of recommendations) to help maximize our experience in Charleston. Three couples travelled from New England to celebrate my wife's birthday (as well as Halloween) and the Lord Ashley did not disappoint. The house itself was a lower floor open concept with plenty of space for everyone, and the bedrooms were all comfortably sized. The porch facing the small neighborhood park (be sure to check out the illuminated central fountain at night) was where we spent most of our time, with a swing seat along with comfortable chairs to lounge. TAKE ADVANTAGE of the two beach cruiser bikes in the garage, as we rode the quick two blocks north to experience Hampton Park (just like a City of London park) as well as the nearby Citadel to see the campus (on Fridays they have an all-student Citadel Parade – very impressive). The neighborhood and surrounding area is very quiet – almost no car traffic – so you can bike right in the streets. Be sure to check out two locals within walking distance. Harold’s Cabin is a cozy apres-ski type restaurant/bar with great food and drink selections (co-owned by Bill Murray!), and Daps is a great breakfast spot for outdoor noshing any morning. James sent us more of his local favorites from the peninsula, and getting there is either a healthy walk or short Uber ride away – we did not rent a car and did not see the need to. James was also in the area and stopped by to say hello and give the bike tires a pump while we were on site. I would definitely stay at the Lord Ashley again on a future trip to Holy City.

About the host

Hosted by James Ravenel

Born and raised in Charleston, SC, I started off as an S.O.B., South Of Broad :) I now live further up the peninsula in Hampton Park Terrace, which I adore. With its leafy streets and neighborhood vibrancy, I love staying close to home enjoying all the new local restaurants and bars. I've been lucky enough to live abroad, travelling the world teaching ESL, surfing and falling in love with various cities, but I still consider Charleston one of the most beautiful and charming I've ever seen!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this quintessential Arts and Crafts era home the second I saw it. The open floor plan and sunlit rooms immediately won me over. But my favorite part is the glorious little park it sits directly on. There's nothing better than waking up on a spring day in Charleston and being able to sip my morning coffee over-looking the flowing fountain and grand live oak trees from my porch.
