We stayed at this property to move our son into CofC. The unit was clean, very comfortable and well stocked with everything needed for a nice stay! Great location to King Street and approximately 2 miles to the waterfront. The courtyard was wonderful with water fountains and comfortable couches and tables with chairs. There was also a very helpful itinerary with restaurant recommendations! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay and loved the area for walking to shops, restaurants, bars, and parks. The house was comfortable and cozy! The dueling piano bar was one of our favorite spots and we enjoyed a day on folly beach. Unfortunately we left a little early to avoid Hurricane Debby coming through but had a great visit.

Very nice spacious apartment overall. Location was very convenient, a block away from the main strip, close enough to walk everywhere but far enough that it was quiet at night. Apartment was very clean and well appointed. Beds and furniture are comfortable. AC worked well. Off street parking was a plus. Only issue was that we did not get any information on the check in process due to a system error but I called the number provided and a lovely woman walked me through everything. It was late but she answered anyway which was appreciated. It was ideal for our family of 5.

I could not have picked a prettier place. The unit was perfect- very well appointed, comfortable and in a great, central location for all of our family affairs.

What a delightful apartment. It was beautifully decorated & furnished. Everything was as pictured and promised. A very nice surprise were the several outdoor seating areas with softly flowing fountains, all separated by low hedges for privacy. Plenty of parking, really beautiful landscaping, and all well maintained.

We enjoyed our stay at this location. Property was beautiful,clean & great location. The only problem was the WIFI kept dropping & it was difficult to work from this property. Jamie the property manager was awesome. She tried to troubleshoot but we still faced the WIFI issue. My husband & my daughter were both WFH so it created a lot of issues.

We were in town for a concert and couldn’t have asked for a better location. Easy walk to King Street, Charleston Music Hall, the Children’s Museum, and much more. The condo was in great shape and the proper manager made it very easy to work with Babyquip to get our crib and high chair set up before we even got there. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Charleston.

The small touches made a BIG difference
Besides being a well located, beautifully decorated and pristine place to stay we so appreciated the small touches like a bag of ice in the freezer, coffee pods to last the entire stay and all paper products. The linens and towels were like new. Management was very available and responsive to our needs. The courtyard was spectacular! There were small sitting areas among beautiful landscaping.

Girls trip to Charleston
It was a perfect stay. Perfectly furnished (2 King Beds). Great bathrooms for 4 women to get ready in! Loved the location and ability to have a parking space off the street! Garden area was really nice. Was able to walk to resturants, Visitors Center, and shopping if you didnt want to take your car. Management was super accomodating with our check in and checkout times with our flights.

Clean and welcoming
This unit is part of St Phillip square and has a welcoming courtyard to relax in that adjoins the other units in this complex. There are small maintenance and upkeep issues that need attention, but that comes with the package when dealing with a renovated unit in a building from the 1800’s. Would recommend for a long weekend in Charleston.
