I will start by saying that messages can be misleading and taken wrong/not as someone intends. However, I was initially put off by the response I received when I was inquiring about the property. My question was answered I thought somewhat rudely. After getting into the home / we discovered that the ice maker was broken. I sent a message and I never received any type response. The home has a great location.. There are a few minor items that would improve the enjoyment of staying there.

This was a great location, very comfortable stay for friends to gather! I met two old friends here for a weekend girls’ reunion trip and this was a perfect base camp. The rooms were very clean and comfortable - it was especially nice to each have our own bathroom. The location is really nice and the owner was very responsive. Would definitely recommend.

What an amazing property! We had everything we needed, our own parking place and a wonderful courtyard to enjoy. The Carta bus-line was around the corner and very easy to use for sightseeing. Also, very close drive to Drayton Hall and Middleton Place. When we arrived we were greeted by several of the property mgmt team which was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful time and if you are looking for a place to stay book this property! You won't be disappointed. Thanks again!

Wonderful in many ways. Great location. Can really walk most anywhere. Block or so from King St with many food and drink options. The home itself is lovely. Remarkably clean and well stocked. Seemed to think of everything one might need. Coffee, laundry soap, makeup towels, and basics for cooking. We had 5 staying and the 3 BR/3B worked wonderfully for our family. Charleston is a remarkable and unique city with amazing architecture and history. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Everything was great; however, the Keurig coffee maker kept spewing coffee and grounds from the pods. Sometimes it would work and sometimes not probably needs to be replaced. We then used the coffeemaker with the pot.

Beautiful, little hideaway- close to everything

My best friend and my two well-behaved Goldens stayed here during Wine and Food to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer. The cottage is tucked away in a series of large row houses directly off the street. It was easy to get to King St/Meeting St- shopping, sightseeing and restaurants were only a short 5-10 minute walk. The parking directly in front of the property is a bonus. Though the cottage looks historical, the interior has been remodeled to contain every modern amenity you might need. We didn't cook at all, but the kitchen is well stocked. All the little "extras"- like dish soap, coffee, laundry detergent, etc... were so helpful. The sheets were soft, the towels were plush and my best friend couldn't stop talking about how good the water pressure/shower was. Jamie was a delight to communicate with for any needs. I highly recommend the unit if you are a party of 4-6. There's just enough space to feel at home without feeling cramped.
