A2 at Saint Philip Square, One Block to King, Stylish Southern Escape

Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes spanning nearly one city block of downtown Charleston. The John Bulow House at 174 A#2 Saint Philip Street is a 2-bed 2-bath gem blending modern comfort with Charleston’s rich history just one block from King St. Recognized with 5 Carolopolis Awards and the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration, this retreat offers a premier location perfect for families or groups seeking an authentic Charleston experience.

Bedroom 1 – King bed with end tables, lamps, and tasteful art.

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.

Family trip

We brought my parents to Charleston for the first time and this place was perfect for two couples. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the courtyard area as well. The kitchen had everything we needed for lite breakfasts and the off-street parking was incredibly convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Location location location!!!

Perfect location to enjoy the best of King Street and restaurants! Also very easily accessible to nearby highways. The apartment was exactly as pictured, very well stocked! Would stay here again and have already sent to friends for future stays. (The one and only downside was that the people staying in the apartment above us were very loud as early as 3am getting in from bars and waking us up.) Other than that it was perfect!

The place was amazing and close to everything. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the unit. They only thing I’d recommend is maybe spraying for mosquitoes as I got bitten up heavily while sitting in the lovely courtyard. (My fault though for not bringing bug spray). We would definitely stay again!

Great for a getaway

We spent a long weekend, and the place was great. It’s close enough to walk everywhere, but some of the places like the Market and Battery were longer walks, so give yourself time, or grab an Uber. Off street parking was great!
