A rare find in Charleston. This carriage house feels less like a rental and more like stepping into a beautifully preserved story. The historic bones are unmistakable, from the warm brick and arched doorways to the tucked-away loft bedrooms, yet everything is layered with comfort and thoughtful design. Fresh-cut flowers in nearly every room added a quiet elegance, and the curated artwork gave the space a lived-in, soulful charm you don’t often get.Morning light filtering through those incredible windows and evenings settling into the cozy, textured interiors made it hard to leave. And the location couldn’t be better, perfectly placed in the historic district, close to everything, yet private and peaceful once you step inside.Three nights wasn’t enough. we’d return in a heartbeat.

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming carriage house tucked back into one of the Charleston's historic neighborhoods!! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and completely taken in by its character, beauty and cozy inviting charm. So many little touches, like the fun artwork and books on the historic aspects of the Holy City complimented the space. We especially loved the attention preserving the historic charm with exposed brick and reclaimed or original?? wood, while maintaining a fresh and stylish ambiance. The kitchen was absolutely beautiful and a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee while looking out into the garden! Everything was extremely clean, neat with a touch of the luxurious. The beds were incredibly comfortable and perfect for a great night sleep after a day of walking and dining through the streets of Charleston. The location and recommendations by the hosts were spot on too! Would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable Charleston get-away!!
