Luxurious, Spacious & Historic- 5 Min Walk to King

Summary:
No detail was overlooked in the renovation of this historic home in Charleston's Cannonborough neighborhood, featuring beautifully restored hardwood floors, a custom-kitchen with high-end finishes, refurbished claw foot tub, original beam work & more.

This second-floor rental features a king bed with high-end linens & all the comforts of a boutique hotel (quality bath products & towels, hair dryer, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen.

The Space:
Set back from the street, this second floor apartment is accessible by (spiral stairs). The 1 King bedroom suite features a full bathroom, full kitchen, and living area. It provides a true Charleston experience for all guests. Easily walkable to MUSC, College of Charleston, King Street’s most popular retail and restaurants, & more.

The property has free off-street parking for one car directly beside the home.

Guest Access:
You will be able to access the entire space. No sharing of spaces or surfaces with other guests. To access the space from the driveway, walk down the brick sidewalk on the left side of the house to the rear. Go up the spiral stair to the deck to access the space. If you have any concerns, of course we are happy to help you with luggage going up the stairs! Enjoy!! You also have access to a shared patio on proterty with big Green Egg charcoal grill, charcoal being complimentary of course.

The Neighborhood:
Visitors can enjoy convenient dining options directly next door At Southbound and Ladles Soup/ Across from the apartment; indulge in the city’s most charming bakery – Sugar Bakeshop - located just across the street from the rental; and gab your morning coffee and bagels just down the street at Holey City Bagels! Many of the city’s most notable eateries are located in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, or an easy walk from the rental. O-Ku, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, Chez Nous, The Darling Oyster Bar, The Grocery, Indaco, The Ordinary, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Warehouse, Chubby Fish.

Getting Around:
Uber, Lyft, pedicab, horse-drawn carriage-by appointment from Palmetto Carriage, or old-fashioned walking are the ways to get around. Free shuttle around the peninsula is available only 3 blocks away on King Street.

Other Things to Note:
We are three blocks from King Street. Cannon Street dead ends into King where you would be right in the middle of all the activity - many nice restaurants such as The Darling, the Grocery, Ordinary, Endaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Midtown, Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street. Pick the experience - fine dining to relaxed outdoor dining, it is here. You could look up Hominy Grill, Chez Nous, Trattoria Lucca, Fuel, Goulette. Since Cannon Street (and Spring Street) are the only legal areas in the city to host short term rentals in Charleston, you will be in good company here.

Interaction with Guests:
We like to meet our guests when the timing works out upon arrival and get our visitors settled. But when timing doesn't match up we'll leave a key for them to access the rental at their convenience. We're a phone call away if anything comes up during the stay but leave guests to enjoy the rental as their own when they are here.

It was a fabulous location! It was very convenient to downtown. The first day we walked and did all the things downtown. The apartment was beautiful and very well decorated. The only thing I would suggest is a TV in the bedroom.

I liked the way the property was decorated and it was in a very good location. The only thing we didn’t like was the circular outside staircase to the outside. A bit difficult on our old bodies.!Web would come back but would want a ground floor unit.

Perfection!!
This was our second stay here and we can’t wait to come back! Randall is the sweetest! The place is decorated so nicely and it is spotless. The details seal the deal. The mattress is beyond comfy and they have a sound machine so you don’t have to pack one. I love the bathrobes waiting for us in the bathroom. And the round ice cubes ready for your drink are such a sophisticated touch. Oh and the location is amazing! Our favorite restaurant, Southbound is right next door! We LOVE staying here!!!

Great location and unit, issues with parking and communication
The location was amazing. Close to tons of great restaurants and bars, and right across the street from the bridal party for the wedding we were attending. The apartment itself was pretty cool — spacious and well decorated. The kitchen seemed well stocked — pots, pans, measuring cups. The listing says they have parking and we were given instructions to park right next to the unit. However, there were already cars parked where we were supposed to be. George responded promptly, suggesting we try the other side of the unit, and if that was full (it was), to go across the street. We did that, but there was a broken down fork lift blocking most of the driveway. We could just squeeze past it in a midsized SUV, but I was nervous I’d be scraping paint off at some point. It was moved after a couple days. George apologized for parking being a mess. However all the vehicles in the first parking spaces were for other units that they rent, so it seems they overpromised on parking being available. Or it is just first come first serve. After one of us showered, someone in the downstairs unit started banging on the door saying that water was leaking into their place. Two guys came to our unit very quickly to investigate, and said that they’d be back later to fix it, while we were at a wedding. I messaged them three times over 24 hours to see if it was fixed. No response until we were checking out. Things break and it’s not a big deal, but the lack of communication was frustrating.

Spring visit
The property was clean and well maintained. A lot of thought and time was spent making the space beautiful! The owners were helpful when needed and the information binder was helpful. My only caution to others would be the spiral staircase. If you are a bit older (like us) it is a challenge when bringing up luggage, and after a long day of walking it was a challenge. The toilet closet in the bathroom is quite small. Overall it is a nice space.

Classy and Convenient
The accommodations are beautifully appointed! Located next to the excellent new restaurant Southbound, where they cook everything with open fire, there was always a delicious and comforting waft in the air. Walking to coffee shops and restaurants as well as downtown was totally enjoyable through the charming neighborhood and Ubers had no trouble finding us. The spiral staircase is a fun reminder that you’re entering an exclusive property… I suppose it would be challenging if you get dizzy, are a plus sized person or wear very short skirts. We didn’t have any of those issues so we loved it. Bed and linens were all very comfortable. Really loved everything, including the property managers/owners (met 2 of the 3) and would absolutely stay here again on future visits. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great location
Two block walk to king street. Property has a driveway but it’s not the easiest to back out of into traffic. Unless you’re local, I’d recommend not bringing a car - Uber ride downtown is $10 - parking downtown is $20. Restaurant right in front of the property is GREAT. Neighborhood is quiet, even if with the restaurant in front of the house. Zero complaints. Great stay.

The best place to stay in Charleston!
I can’t say enough good things about this home. It’s gorgeous, perfectly decorated, cozy, the bed is so comfy (this really matters to us when vacationing), located in the best spot, and in a super safe area. The staff were super responsive to the one need we had. We enjoyed being in the home just as much as we did exploring downtown. There are 3 AMAZING restaurants/eateries within a 2-3 minute walk. We are already planning our trip back. This one is a must.

Birthday Trip
The Charlestonian is a beautiful place to stay. The location made getting in and out of downtown very easy. The staircase is tricky but manageable. And the claw foot tub looks great but the shower curtain will cling to you if you don’t situate it just right! Maybe a loner that has some suction cups would help. And bring a smaller vehicle if you have a choice. Parking is tight but manageable. Loved our trip. Will find out way back to Charleston one day.

Wonderful stay at the Charlestonian
The Charlestonian was beautifully decorated, clean and in a perfect location. We were within walking distance to many restaurants and a short drive to all the beaches. The bed is very comfortable and all sheets/towels were provided which made it very convenient and easy to pack. We would absolutely stay here again.

We arrived to a clean beautiful apartment and were met by Morgan who was so nice! She made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great recommendations since this was our first visit to Charleston. Pictures are very accurate and we didn’t lack for anything. The living room was cozy, the bed comfy and the Wi-Fi worked well. After walking around all day it was nice to know we could relax ‘at home’ for awhile before venturing out again in the evening. Looking forward to staying here again and again.
