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

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!

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!

Cute, Clean, Great Safe Location

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.

Wonderful apartment

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.

Trip to Charleston

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.

Ideal apartment

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.
