We are located on the second floor of a stately antebellum building in the heart of historic downtown Charleston, SC. We offer a private entrance, and five spacious bedrooms with high ceilings and 19th century heart pine floors, accented with paintings and furnishings from our ground floor antiques gallery. We are directly across Meeting Street from the iconic Mills House, and adjacent to award-winning restaurants and bars, King Street shopping and nightlife, art galleries, the city market, bucolic parks and gardens, historic churches, South of Broad mansions, and multiple reception halls. Relax on the spacious 2nd floor veranda, with lovely views of the steeples of both St. Philips and St. Michael's. The deep porch fills with morning sunlight and captures the breeze from the nearby harbor

Comfy Stay for Wedding Festivities
We were in town to celebrate my son’s wedding. The reception was just steps away from this location at the Gibbes Art Museum. The home was exactly as described. Beds were comfy and the house had all the necessary amenities. The house has no parking which is a bummer but we knew that going in and had no trouble finding space in the garage which was a very quick walk. The luggage elevator was a fantastic help so we didn’t have to haul the luggage up the stairs. We would definitely book again.

Perfect location
This property is situated in the best location, access to shopping on King Street & walkable to most areas of this amazing city. High ceilings, lovely furnishings and clean, clean, clean. The front bedrooms are right on Meeting Street, which is a main thoroughfare for trucks at night. If you are a light sleeper it might make sense to choose a bedroom towards the back of the apartment. Further, there should be black out shades-in the front bedrooms-as the lights from the hotel and restaurants across the street are always bright. While the rugs are gorgeous antique orientals, they have a strong musty smell - people with allergies might really have difficulty with the odors. The porch lights and fans also inoperable. Coming up the spiral staircase at night is treacherous and should be lit. I would also suggest that the emergency escape windows be fixed - they are painted shut - and would be impossible to open in an emergency. Finally, and most frustratingly - the luggage elevator would not work. We tried every way possible to make it work, and called for help the day before having to leave, with no response. I had to carry a virtually empty suitcase down the spiral staircase, put my belongings in shopping bags to carry down and then pack my bag in the driveway. There are simple fixes for these complaints, and should be addressed. If taken care of.......then this is a splendid place to stay in Charleston. The back veranda is amazing. And yes, I would stay there again.....

Issues
Property is well located in the center of shopping and restaurants. It is located on the second floor and access is thru the patio which is very large and a great place to relax. But..... The elevator didn't work and we had to haul all our luggage and supplys up a sprial fire escape stairs that was a pain in the ass. Outside patio lights and ceiling fans didn't work which is where we spent most of our time when were were actually at the property and not sleeping, morning and evenings. On the Saturday that we were in Charleston we had a few hours before dinner and could not watch any football because the TV had 6 remotes that didn't actually work and yes we did change out the batteries and could only turn the tv on to PBS because the cabel box wouldn't turn on. None of the drapes were blackout which is what hotels use, so make sure if you are in the corner room you are good with almost daylight at night due to the street and business lights coming in thru the windows. We did reference the owners notebook but still couldn't get the elevator and tv to work. Owner needs to fix these issues.

Charleston Finest
We were a group of 4 college friends getting together for a quick getaway. The VRBO was beyond perfect! We each had our own rooms, the bathroom situation was perfect & kitchen great for our needs. We had breakfast at the VRBO & ate out the other meals. With so many fantastic restaurants & food options, this worked out beautifully. Even better than all that was the location! Right where you want to be in the heart of historic Charleston! Steps from Harken a delicious bakery/lunch spot, a block from Husk, Poogan’s Porch, 2 blocks from 82 Queen, & right around the corner from where our walking tour started. The VRBO host was fabulous to work with & check in was easy. Absolutely wonderful experience & would definitely book again!!

PLENTY OF SPACE
Feels like you are stepping back into old Charleston. Very elegant and lots of space. Location cannot be beat. Overall, a treat to stay in. For downsides, we would say the mattresses are perhaps a bit past useful life but that should be an easy fix. Also, there is quite a bit of street noice and light at night. Black out drapes would help. Historical rules may prevent double planing the windows but that would also help. If you are a night owl and an easy sleeper, these won’t be issues for you.

A really great home in a perfect location
This was a fantastic house and location. We opted not to rent a car, and were able to walk most places we wanted to go. An Uber once was needed (other than trips to and from the airport) Its a lovely home with plenty of comfortable space. The kitchen is not much to speak of, but it had everything we needed in a city where you go for the food. Two small suggestions: the remotes to the TV need batteries and an increased supply of TP would be advisable. This is a wonderful place to stay and I would stay here again without looking for another rental. I would recommend this to my friends.

Perfect for a bachelorette weekend!
We stayed here as 10 girls on a bachelorette weekend. The outside deck was perfect for hanging out and eating group dinners. The living room had another large table and couches for us to hang out. The beds were really comfortable and perfect for our amount of people. There is only 2.5 bathrooms, which wasn’t a huge deal but definitely a lot of people trying to shower at the same time. Only downsides were one of the shower heads had really low water pressure and the property only gives you a certain number of toilet paper rolls, so we had to buy more. But overall would definitely stay here again and recommend to other large groups! Perfect location.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We are located on the SE corner of Meeting and Queen Streets, in the historic French Quarter District in downtown Charleston, SC, within what was the old walled city. The land was part of a Colonial land grant in 1695. The present building dates to 1854. It has hosted a colorful array of occupants since then, including a 19th century grocery store, billiards saloon, BBQ restaurant, liquor store, law firm, art gallery, and present-day antiques store with residences above. Free parking on adjacent parking lot during non business hours.
In our family since 1968, we have transformed the second floor as a city-licensed luxury vacation rental, perfect for family reunions, group getaways, small business retreats, or wedding parties (the apartment is within 3 blocks of multiple famous churches and reception halls).
We have enjoyed many years of meals, cocktails, and good conversation on the piazza, admiring the view. Now it is time to share our home as your newfound home-away-from-home

What makes this property unique

We do provide a "starter kit" for each renter which includes: 4 toilet paper rolls,, 1 paper towel roll, hotel soaps for sinks, showers, bathtub, a small dish liquid and a sponge beside the kitchen sink, 3 dishwasher tablets, 2 dishtowels, 2 13-gallon kitchen trash can liners, and small 4-gal trash can liners for the small trash cans throughout the home

PARKING
You may notice there is a parking lot behind the house. This parking lot is owned by the City Of Charleston and is NOT to be used during your stay; it is for city officials. There is a sign located in the lot which states the hours that the lot is not being used for those offices if you need to use it during those off hours. However, IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THE HOURS YOU WILL BE TOWED AND YOU WILL BE FINED A MINIMUM OF $250.00 BY THE CITY.
Close by parking garages and lots are:
1. 85 Queen Street
2. 99 Queen Street
