This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It's the real deal!

Offsite Resort Amenities:
- Access to The Wonderer, an exclusive adult-only resort downtown Charleston 2.6 miles away from Saint Philip Square (guests 25+ only; no one under 21 permitted at the pool).
- Olympic-sized heated pool (cabana rentals available).
- Gym and fitness classes (additional charges apply).
- Onsite bars, restaurant, and workspaces.
- Note: The Wonderer is a separate entity, and availability may vary. Book in advance for guaranteed access.

St. Philip Square offers a city block of historic elegance right in the heart of Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough district. Just one block to King Street, walkable to Charleston’s world renowned dining, attractions and shopping along King Street.
Earning 5 esteemed awards from The Preservation Society of Charleston for historic reservation, our accommodations blend new with nostalgia - each boasting unique charm and character.

St. Phillips Square

I cannot say enough about this place. We absolutely loved it and I hold a very high bar. Clean with all the conveniences. Being able to sit on the porch and in the courtyard was an extra, wonderful bonus. I have already told many family members and friends that if they are ever in Charleston, I have the place for them to stay.

Great spot right off King Street!

6 of us enjoyed this property for a bachelorette weekend, it was a perfect spot! Walking distance from great bars and restaurants, and only a half hour walk from waterfront park and the ocean. The porch was a great place to hang out, and the property was well maintained and easy to access.

Great Location

This property was a great location for both driving and walking. Good parking and close to King street and neighborhood eateries. Good communication regarding checkin and checkout. The living space was good. One of the bedrooms is a little tight for two people but would be perfect for one. Our only issue was the washing machine did not work and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend.

This was a great property for CofC graduation! The location was ideal as we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony. Onsite parking was a major plus as was the very inviting porch with ample seating for 6. This property had spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, very comfortable living room (especially the couch), and a kitchen that was suitable for meal prep. Would definitely stay here again.
