Historic 1905 Charming Bungalow 2 Blocks From King

Summary:
Stay at our beautifully renovated flagship property under The Dunes brand! We acquired this amazing 1905 Charleston Victorian duplex home in the heart of the popular and trendy Cannonborough neighborhood in September 2019 and completely renovated with professional interior design in January 2022. Just 2 blocks from King Street, this rear unit bungalow offers 2 bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, and 1 bathroom with tub.

The Space:
This rear unit, Driftwood Cottage at the Dunes on Spring, is 730 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The polished pine hardwood floors are reminiscent of the early 1900s while the decor lends a chic and trendy atmosphere. Bright and private, this bungalow boasts new appliances and a washer and dryer for a perfect home away from home.

Parking passes for one vehicle are provided for street parking and are good to park anywhere in the area. If guests have a second vehicle, we can recommend nearby parking garage options.

We provide starter supplies for your stay to include a small shampoo, conditioner and body wash per person, 3 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, 2 dishwasher tabs, small bottle of dish soap, 1 roll of paper towels, 1 spare trash bag, 2 packs of coffee and a handful of small creamers. After these initial supplies run out, we do not offer additional supplies. There are several convenience stores and grocery stores in the area for your convenience.

Not ample hot water
Really wanted this to be a five star review but a rental of any kind, age and location has to have ample hot water to take a shower. Next to cleanliness and water pressure, having ample hot water is most important. The bungalow was very cute, quaint and historic. Very well renovated. Lots of space and comfort and amenities. Location was great. Just need more than 5 minutes of hot water. Can’t recommend this property nor would I be back in the future, unless they get a hot water heater upgrade.

Wonderful time in Charleston
We totally enjoyed our stay at the Driftwood Cottage! The location was perfect - we walked to King Street for shopping and eating. We look forward to coming back to Charleston and renting here again. Great space -- very comfortable and quaint. Very comfortable beds and bedding, nice kitchen area with coffee set up, and nice TV room where we watched some movies.

A charming place just like the title states. Cool space, cozy, clean, nice linens and towels, well supplied kitchen and over a dozen restaurants within a 10 minute walk. The free trolley stop is just down at the end of the street too. Perfect location.

Exceeded expectations
Great location…close enough to walk to King Street, Charleston Market, and Rainbow Row and far enough away to avoid noise from King Street on a busy Friday/Saturday night. Easy to find street parking with permits onsite (greatly appreciated) from the owner. Really appreciated all the towels and pillows provided. Very clean and clear instructions on how to check out. Great place for my adult daughter and I to enjoy some quality time in a fun city to visit. Thanks so much!

Couple issues while we were there but management co very responsive. Had to hunt for parking one night as 79B is only allowed street parking. Amenities were nice with plenty of towels, etc. Beds were great! Could use bar in tub as it was slippery when wet.

The beds were comfortable but the pillows were not. We could not sleep on them. The toilet was very low to the ground. I own rentals and the first thing I changed was the old toilets. The unit was in the rear of the building but provided no off-street parking. The ceiling fan did not work in the one bedroom.

Cleanliness was an issue
Cleanliness was an issue. Hadn’t been dusted in a while. No toilet paper. The floors are older and wooden, so there were large broken and uneven areas. My son got several splinters in his feet so we had to make sure we kept our shoes on.

Great Location! Great Time!
We had a great time in Charleston while staying at this property. The location was perfect and walking distance to everything we wanted/needed (King St., grocery/liquor stores, Battery, Waterfront Park, etc.). The property was as listed, clean, and comfortable. Host was very responsive as well. I would recommend and stay again!

Loved the property and location, however, we did not realize that we were staying in the back side of the house without access to front porch. We may have missed that in the description, but we would return only to stay at front of house.

Great Little Apartment
Old, well-maintained apartment with lots of character. Suited our needs perfectly — place to eat breakfast, lounge after long days of sightseeing and sleep well. Just a few blocks from King street, ample street parking close to house. Management was very responsive to our questions. Very happy with the overall experience.

Perfect 2 Night Stay
Great location and so quiet and comfortable. Check in and communication was fantastic. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like charging stations, clothing iron and steamer, and coffee. No ice maker or trays, but there’s a couple of markets within 2 min walk that sells ice. Great bakery basically next door. Parking is safe and easy. Highly recommend!

Great stay.
Check in was a breeze. The rental was very clean and well equipped with everything you need. Plenty of dishes, cookware, spices, towels, shampoo, conditioner etc. Beds were very comfortable. A few small stains on the carpets but overall very clean. It was a little further away from King Street district than we had hoped but not a bad walk. There is no designated parking space. We were there during January so parking wasn't a problem but it may be an issue if you're there during a the busy season. We had a problem with the TV. I emailed the rental agent who responded immediately and was extremely helpful. There are a few restaurants and a small market nearby. Would definitely recommend this rental.

Very quaint and immaculately clean property! Beautiful decor, nice location and details.
I felt very at home with this property. It had all the quaintness and charm you would expect from a Charleston Bungalow. The convenience of a coffee shop next door was just an added bonus. The only drawbacks were that you have to go through the kitchen to get to the bathroom and street parking.

Lovely little place!
Perfect example of old and quirky but charming, with good updates....my favorite kind of place! The beds were comfy, and the living area just large enough for the space. The neighborhood was great to get to the King Street fun, and it wasn't difficult to use the shuttle to go other places. We were in regular contact with the owner/managers and felt that they really cared about our comfort. Great ceiling fans and loved the bedside outlets/phone port. Kitchen lovely and well equipped. Bathroom was good.

Darling little house
My family came from overseas and we did a road trip through the south and stayed in this darling, little spot. The apartment was super clean, had great AC and the most wonderful bedding. Felt like a luxe hotel stay but with a kitchen! Location was great, walking distance to everything with a great coffee and baguette place right next door. Highly recommend.
