We stayed at this property with family to celebrate a 50th birthday, and it was the perfect home base for our trip to Charleston. The accommodations were very comfortable, with plenty of space for the four of us to spread out and feel right at home.The beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We had a small issue with one of the showers, but the property owner responded immediately and resolved it quickly—excellent communication and service.The location couldn’t be better! Just a short walk to King Street, where we enjoyed great shopping and dining options. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and cozy spot in Charleston.

Great family stay in a charming historic home. The unit appeared to be very well cleaned and maintained. We loved the highly walkable area and found some great restaurants and coffee shops within a few blocks. One thing to note is that two of the bedrooms are upstairs in the former attic level, so the beds have low head clearance and the bathrooms are small. We did have two adults successfully sleep up there, but felt those bedrooms would be best suited for children. One note for the host is that we would have appreciated optional plug-in air fresheners since (like all historic southern homes) it can smell a bit musty in the summer. Would happily stay again.

Safety issues

The tub in the main bedroom/bathroom is very slippery and dangerous. The stove in kitchen will turn on if you are at sink if you bump it. It happened 3 times while we were there. Very dangerous.Third floor is very difficult to access with luggage.

Great girls weekend!

I came on a girls weekend with 6 women. Everyone loved the place...plenty of room for 6 with 4 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms plus extra beds. It was quirky and quaint with all the ammenities we needed, plus lots of thoughtful extras. Our favorite spot to gather was the front porch. Location was great too, just far enough out of the hustling downtown area, but within walking distance to the market, harbor area, and plenty of great restaurants! Would definitely stay here again.

Clean and comfortable

My friends and I had a great girls' weekend at St. Philip Square. The place was immaculately clean, beds comfortable, and plenty of bathrooms! There is a spiral staircase, fyi. Well-situated near King St. and many restaurants and cafes. We were able to walk everywhere. Good communication with property manager, even when we had a hard time with the code getting in (user error!).

Beautiful location - close to everything!

A group of 5 of us were in town to celebrate a 50th birthday. We loved the house and Jaime went above and beyond to accommodate us. The beds were so comfortable! We loved that they had shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. The kitchen had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property. My only hesitation would be for anyone 'of size' or with limited mobility staying upstairs. The spiral stairs were a bit of a challenge for a couple people in our group with ankle/knee issues. But there are plenty of beds and two full baths on the main floor which gives you lots of choices! We loved this spot and highly recommend staying here - it's clean, quiet, comfortable & close to everything!

Charleston Weekend with Friends

This place was perfect for our group of 7 girlfriends in town for the Charleston Wine and Food Festival. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the visitor's center where we caught our shuttle out to the Village. We enjoyed the courtyard and fire pits after a long day. I highly recommend to those looking for comfort, convenience and have the physical ability to climb stairs.

Great Location

Great location, just a block off of King St. Loads of local spots for coffee, happy hour or lunch/dinner. Walk to most areas easily. The accommodations are a bit small for 5 adults as the 4th bedroom is actually the living room. Plenty of outside seating. Washer/dryer and grill are shared with several other units. Would still book again.

Fun With Friends

We had plenty of space to sit around and chat which was our #1 goal. Kitchen was fabulous. Beds were a hit with great mattresses and sheets. A couple of things to note... 1. Light in bathroom in the murphy bed room doesn't work. pretty dark. 2. No lights on the front of the unit to mark our place so was very difficult to find it. Plus the "1" is missing in 178. 3. The sink in that same bathroom (as mentioned above) the water did not get hot. 4. The bathroom with the sink in the window upstairs needs a light. Hard to put on makeup. These are not deal breakers by any means but just thought you should know. We will still recommend this place to our friends and family.

A perfect girls trip!

There were seven of us and we all wanted to have our own beds to sleep in. There was plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms so we were able to hangout yet have our own spaces to get ready. It is a really cute place with a great porch to hang out in. it’s right on the heart of things so we often just walked to restaurants and shopping. it was totally safe and we were never nervous about walking back late at night. The contact person was extremely responsive and even accommodated us checking in early age checking out later! Great stay!
