Great little place on upper King St., just a block or two from the shops and restaurants. It was perfect for the six of us! The bathrooms are small, but plenty functional - I was impressed with the use of space. Would gladly return!

Fantastic Week with New College Grads

A wonderful stay with hassle free parking, walkable to many restaurants and cocktail bars, and easy drive to larger grocery stores. The wraparound porch on this upper unit is a lovely place to have morning coffee and catch the breeze in true Charleston style. Also affords a good deal of privacy for hanging out. Well-appointed kitchen is inviting, and there are plenty of extra bathrooms for the “going out” set to get ready (bathrooms are small, but having four of them is a significant convenience). Highly recommend for anyone except those who may have trouble navigating a couple of sets of stairs to get inside. There’s a downstairs unit as well!

We really enjoyed the home. It was very clean and offered us all the amenities we needed.

As stated, the house was charming and very clean. The only thing I must mention is the size of the bedrooms. They were functional but quite small. The living room and kitchen were perfect for our size of 8 adults. We all loved the balcony! Would definitely recommend this property. Location was very good!

Charleston Adventure

This house was amazing and more than enough room for our group of 5. We loved the mix of historic details and upscale décor, the living/kitchen area and spending time with coffee and then evening cocktails on the piazza. This home comes with everything you need and is the most well stocked rental we’ve ever had. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the lux linens and towels. The gardens and common area are beautiful and the off street parking for two vehicles was a huge plus. We were able to easily walk to King Street to enjoy rooftop bars and amazing dining while other “to do” attractions were a short car ride away. There was a fair amount of street noise at night on the weekend but that’s to be expected in this part of town and the owners provide sound machines in each bedroom. We would definitely rent this home again!

Great getaway

This house was amazing! There was plenty of room for the 6 of us. The porch was our general hang out area each morning for coffee. There were amazing local bars and restaurants all within a short 5 minute walk. It was nice to even explore Market street by foot. About 1.3 miles so a nice walk to enjoy the sceneries. The shareplace was excellent right by the house. This truly was a great vacation for us experiencing both the great things in Charleston and then a 20 minute drive over to Isle of Palm if you wanted some time at the beach.

Annual College Friend Get Together

We spend a long weekend each year with college friends and their spouses. This year in Charleston we had 7 people. The house was perfect. Good location with an easy walk to downtown sites, shopping and restaurants. Plenty of parking. The house is bright and tastefully decorated with a new kitchen and the bedrooms all had modern bathrooms. We had a few minor hiccups during our stay, and both the property manager and the owner were very responsive. They could not have been more welcoming and attentive. An excellent experience all around. We would definitely return.

Bachelorette party

For a bride who was wanting a treehouse for her bachelorette party house- This property was the perfect fit. She had her own little oasis upstairs that reminded us of what a treehouse looked like. It was walking distance to everything on king street!! We had an amazing time. Loved adding our spice of disco decorations for the bride. I highly recommend this stay! Jaime was also fantastic and communicated very well with us. We had to change a few dates because of hurricane Ian and it was no problem at all!

Wonderful place that we would book again

Girls trip with 5 women. Good location and the property has some great outdoor sitting areas and the building we were in had a lovely outdoor porch on the second floor that we enjoyed. Rooms were delightful and with four bathrooms we were in heaven. Super easy check in and check out. Loved meeting the property owner Bill. He was delightful and had some great suggestions for places to go see and eat at. Also loved that we had a designated parking spot inside the property off of the street. Felt very safe. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you.

This was the best house ever for a girls weekend! The house itself is so cute and had plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for everyone. We loved sitting on the porch too!

Amazing stay!

We had the best time at this rental. We came down to Charleston for a wedding and shared the house with 3 other couples. The house had everything we needed - plenty of mirrors, towels, shower products in all 4 showers, iron, steamer, and great amenities in the kitchen. The location is ideal - close walk to everything. The porch is great for morning coffee and happy hour drinks. The check-in / check out process was the easiest we have experienced with a rental. Highly recommend this rental!

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
Bill and Jacquelin are lifelong Charlestonians who have raised our family in Charleston. We are passionate about everything "Charleston"--history, culture, architecture. We spent 20 years on our sailboat in Europe, staying in VRBO places whenever we could. While we love Europe, we feel Charleston gives you the best European experience in America but also offers the best of modern American life. We bought the properties at SaintPhilipSquare in 1996 and began converting them to short term rental in 2010 because we believe these historic properties give visitors the best opportunity to live like a Charlestonian. We love the VRBO concept and always stay in VRBO properties when we travel.

Jamie, our capable manager for over 25 years, is the "magic" of SaintPhilipSquare as you will find from the reviews.

Why they chose this property

SaintPhilipSquare is THE place to be. Each "abode" is separate and unique but each one is supported by the team at SaintPhilipSquare and has the opportunity to combine with others or be alone.

SPS is in the heart of the upper King vibrant "happening" part of town. The location cannot be beat. We are one short block from King St but we are also only 1/3 mile to Calhoun St. Many properties you see in this neighborhood are actually a lot further away. than you might see. When you enjoy a drink on the porch, then walk around the corner to a fabulous restaurant, you quickly realize you have made the best choice.

We have historic properties in a contained area--charming authentic Charleston houses. We have carefully selected each item in each dwelling for its beauty, function and quality. We wanted to offer a taste of Charleston--beautiful mantels and porches with a few of our favorite antiques. But we are also open to new, modern ideas and have introduced them with the advice of our professional designer. But always we have tired to keep these properties personal, real, comfortable, interesting, stylish and "cool". We are excited to be offering this space for short term rental.





Our apartments have all received rave reviews for their amenities and for being drop dead attractive.

What makes this property unique

Cozy, attractive space, with historic charm...
4 private bedrooms each with own bathroom,
incredible location,
parking,
umbrella of SaintPhilipSquare with fabulous setup for your group or
