About this property

Cozy English Basement Retreat - Great for Families

This newly re-furnished unit offers all a family needs to have a safe, but fun get away in beautiful Charleston. With free parking, no shared surfaces or spaces, a fully stocked kitchen and cozy porch to relax on, we are confident this space will provide a restful reprieve from Charleston's hot summer sun.

Located in a cozy English Basement, this welcoming 2-bedroom, 2-bath garden level apartment offers visitors convenient access to all that Charleston has to offer. Housed in a historic Charleston single home built in the late 1800s, the apartment is steps from the city’s best shops and restaurants and is easily walkable to MUSC and the College of Charleston.

The apartment recently underwent a full renovation, completed in spring 2017. Measuring just under 800 square feet, the apartment offers 2 bedrooms each featuring premium bedding and its own full bathroom with shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen, washer/dryer, and a classic Charleston single-style porch for enjoying the nearly year-round comfortable temperatures Charleston offers its visitors.

Complimentary parking is offered for guests in a private parking lot located across from the apartment.

This apartment is on the lower level of the three-story property. The home features two additional rentals on the first and second floors, which can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for larger groups. Please inquire if interested.

Visitors can shop for tailored menswear at Indigo & Cotton located directly across from the apartment; indulge in the city’s most charming bakery – Sugar Bakeshop - located just across the street from the rental; and peruse the selection of handmade bags and leather goods at J. Stark, just down the block.

Many of the city’s most notable eateries are located in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, or an easy walk from the rental. In an October 2017 Thrillist article on where to eat in and around Charleston now – 11 of the 29 Charleston eateries listed are in easy walking distance to the home (the rest, an easy car or cab ride away): O-Ku, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, Chez Nous, The Darling Oyster Bar, The Grocery, Indaco, The Ordinary, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Warehouse, Chubby Fish.

Wonderful long weekend
Beautifully renovated basement apartment. The extra touches like a Brita pitcher full of cool water in the fridge and coffee grounds, sugars, and creamers ready for the morning were much appreciated! Location is perfect - we walked more often than ubering, but ubers found us easily. Highly recommend.

Quaint Rental in Perfect Location
Rental is in the downstairs of a historic Charleston home that has been renovated and has lots of charm. It is in a perfect location back off the street which was very quiet. In walking distance to King Street and easy access to the free bus that travels to the Marketplace area. Lots of wonderful shops and restaurants close by.

Last trip before college
We were very pleased with the property and the area it was in. We had a couple of items, like an alarm that started going off at 5am, but the response to fix it was swift. and not knowing that one shower was opposite of normal for hot and cold water but overall it was a pleasant place to stay and the staff was sonderful and helpful.

Host profile image
I love my family. I love my work. I enjoy what I do. I am proud to be able to share the fruits of my labor with guests. I am a general contractor and building owner that takes pride in 5-star authentic historic renovations. I find it hard to not laugh at the mundane and the extraordinary. I am a born and raised Charlestonian. I am honored, and I enjoy sharing a part of the Charleston experience with guests.

Why they chose this property

Historic and newly updated, both high end and functional, this property is located in the heart of downtown in a vibrant neighborhood near Charleston's best restaurants and shopping. A fully stocked kitchen provides you options and won't leave you fretting the basics like for olive oil. Spread out onto the lovely porch, soak in the sea breeze and consider the tales and lore this incredible city has seen in the last 300 years.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Historic building (although, the interior of this rental is new), private porch, and beautiful interior. Top notch service and hospitality.
