About this apartment rental

Summary:
Live like a local in this show-stopping three bedroom, two bath apartment located in downtown Charleston. Housed in an historic home dating to 1851, every detail of the rental was fully renovated in 2017 to feature antique heart pine flooring, tongue and groove walls, European hardware dating to the original period of the home, a fully custom kitchen, brand new washer and dryer, and more.

The floorplan is ideal for socializing with an open concept living room and eat-in kitchen on one end and the three bedrooms on the opposite end. The living room and kitchen look out on Cannon street, one of Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood’s most vibrant streets, home to many popular stores and restaurants all just steps from the rental.

The chef-ready custom kitchen features high-end kitchen appliances that make it convenient to whip up any meal – although with so many great restaurants within blocks of the rental, it may be hard to resist going out for meals. Off of this living room/kitchen area is a classic Charleston porch, offering guests an outdoor area to visit and people watch.

All three bedrooms boast comfortable queen beds with plush bedding. Two of the three bedrooms feature full ensuite bathrooms (shower and toilet – no baths). One of the two bathrooms opens both to the bedroom as well as the hallway, allowing the third bedroom to access the bathroom from the hallway just off the bedroom.

The rental is located on the second floor (spiral staircase!) of the home and is one of three rentals we offer within the home. Please inquire if interested in booking more than one rental and we’d be happy to try to accommodate larger parties throughout our other rentals. One onsite parking spot is available for the rental – with room to park one more car across the street in a parking lot we lease.

Absolutely no parties or late-night noise will be tolerated.

Outdoor patio with Acorn barbecue grill, all outdoor cooking utensils provided.

I am 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 and Endaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Midtown and 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.

I am available for questions as needed. Glad to assist in any way I can.

Once the site of colonial lumber mills, Cannonborough is now an inviting neighborhood blending stylish historic and reproduction architecture. It's also located within walking distance of Upper King Street's excellent restaurants, shops, and bars.

There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Pedicabs are readily available to get you from point A to point B. Uber and Lyft are very common. You will not face any delay catching an uber. Mind as well catch an uber for about $20 to Magnolia or Middleton Plantations.

Since Cannon Street (and Spring Street) are the only legal areas in the city to host an AirBnb in Charleston, you will be in good company here.

If you want the full Charleston experience you need to sign up for a walking tour or carriage tour, a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter several times daily so that you can land your two feet at exactly where the Civil War started.

Great spot near king street. Good bagel spot nearby. Owners provided great coffee and tea as well as board games. We enjoyed breakfast on the porch. Met one of the owners who was delightful and let us tour the other upstairs unit. Clearly they have put a lot of sweat equity in this place!

We were in town for a wedding, this was the perfect place to stay for access to great restaurants, coffee shops, and just touring Charleston. Loved the historic features of the beautiful home! The kitchen was small but beautifully designed and had everything we needed. My husband loved the extra large coffee mugs!!

I recently had the most incredible stay at this VRBO property, and I cannot say enough good things about it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning property that exceeded all our expectations. The location was perfect. The house itself was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, and it was clear that the hosts had put a lot of thought into making our experience unforgettable. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space - the outdoor porches were amazing overlooking the Charleston homes. The hosts were exceptional - friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to ensuring that we had a memorable stay. Their recommendations for local activities and dining were spot on, and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. Overall, our experience at this VRBO property was nothing short of amazing. It was the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and serenity, and I cannot wait to return. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable getaway, look no further.
