About this house rental

A wonderful townhouse 'Johnson's Pied-a'- terre' in the heart of the Historic French Quarter District. Tucked away in the courtyard of the historic ''Lodge Alley Inn '' with a fountain and gas lights to add to the quaintness of this very special place. This alley connects East bay to State Street.
Relax in your own walled and gated private courtyard, or sit on the balcony and just enjoy the sound of the fountain or flicker of the gas lights. Before walking steps to the finest restaurants Charleston has to offer. Only two blocks from the Old Straw Market and Water Front Park on the harbor. You are right where you need to be in this remarkable location to enjoy all downtown Charleston has to offer.

The townhouse has just been newly furnished and sports fabulous original wide plank heart of pine floors throughout. A brand new kitchen installed winter 2023 with top of the line appliances...But who cooks in Charleston when there are so many great Restaurants.
Two bedrooms upstairs one with a California King Bed and the other a queen bed, private baths for both. A small balcony from the Front bedroom with view of the fountain. The living room has a half bath.
The townhouse works nicely for two couples. ....When you enquire please let me know how your group is made up..singles, children, couples ...and age range please...Helps me Accept your booking faster. Thanks

What an awesome home! Beautifully and generously furnished, so clean, and in a perfect location! Loved the private patio area with table. Could walk everywhere in Charleston from it too. Was so nice to come back from the hustle bustle to the beautiful and quiet courtyard area.

I usually don't bother with negative reviews but conversations with Sharon Johnson, our host, was completely uncalled for and unprofessional. We booked a long weekend (over $1,500 plus airfare) with our 2 daughters who were traveling from different parts of the country. Unfortunately, 2 days before our trip, my mother-in-law broke her hip. Her doctor strongly advised against travel as her health was declining quickly. We immediately called Mrs. Johnson to let her know about the situation. She asked if we'd taken out traveler’s insurance but unfortunately had not. Mrs. Johnson advised us to contact VRBO stating she had ‘no authority to refund’. When we contacted VRBO, they informed us that refunds were at the discretion of the host. The customer service rep called Mrs. Johnson who responded, ‘no refund.’ We take full ownership of not having purchased the insurance but were hopeful that Mrs. Johnson would work with us somehow given the situation. We asked Mrs. Johnson if she'd allow us to pass our weekend to family/friends. She agreed but due to short notice, we didn't find anyone. We approached Mrs. Johnson one last time in hopes that she'd maybe give us a small refund/discount on a future trip. We were willing to provide medical/flight change information. Mrs. Johnson texted a response saying “sorry... one of us has to lose and it’s not going to be me." We own/rent a high-end condo in Naples, FL and would NEVER treat customers this way.

This was a great home base for our visit to Charleston. The unit was well appointed, and we enjoyed having the private outside space. Just a note for light sleepers - there was a lot of movement of bins early in the morning and one evening there was a boisterous outdoor reception at the High Cotton. Wouldn't prevent us from returning.

We brought two of our daughters on a college grad trip to Charleston and chose this French Market townhouse for our stay. It was the perfect location! We loved having two bathrooms to use and the little extras of make up wipes and bathroom necessities. It was so close to the city market and Bay Street. We would definitely choose this place again!

I can’t say enough about this home! The location is in easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, sightseeing. It is beautifully furnished in a warm, southern way. Little extras were already there when we checked in so we didn’t have to run out for soap or tissues, etc. The bedrooms were luxurious and bathrooms were modern and spotless. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this again on a future trip to Charleston.

As others have mentioned, it is located in an almost perfect spot. We used our car only one day to go a plantation, otherwise we walked to all other outings (restaurants, pubs, city market, museums, water front, shopping, etc. The house looks like the photos, no disappointments. It has one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve stayed in. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the house but enjoyed the patio area for morning coffee and evening wine. Checking in and out was great. We definitely would stay there again if we ever make it back to Charleston.

My husband and I agree - this property is one of the main reasons we return to Charleston each year! The location alone makes this a perfect spot, but the owner and housekeeping staff ensure that absolutely every detail is in order for a delightful getaway. We have stayed in numerous short term properties over the years (this one several times) and this one is by far the cleanest, most well-equipped and beautifully appointed of them all. The owner has ensured that the guest feels warmly welcomed and is 100% invested in our experience in Charleston! Our experiences at this property have contributed to us falling in love with Charleston!!

Our family has stayed at the Belmond several years in a row and we took a chance to stay at Lodge Alley. We were a bit concerned at first, but Lodge Alley delivered. The location was amazing, in fact, it was better than Belmond. Sharon & Tom are quick to respond, the property has everything you need and again, it's so close to all of the places you'll want to see in Charleston. Sharon & Tom, thank you for allowing us to stay and enjoy your slice of heaven.

This was a such a beautiful clean relaxing environment to spend our "down time" in, over our 5 day stay in Charleston. We were a group of 4 (2 couples) and parked our cars once unloaded, never needed them the rest of our stay. We walked everywhere, did tours, enjoyed the restaurants, shopped and took in the wonderful Charleston Vibe. We were thrilled with the location and comfort of this wonderful VRBO property. During our "down time" we played games and visited with our dear friends. This property far exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!
