Beautiful, little hideaway- close to everything
My best friend and my two well-behaved Goldens stayed here during Wine and Food to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer. The cottage is tucked away in a series of large row houses directly off the street. It was easy to get to King St/Meeting St- shopping, sightseeing and restaurants were only a short 5-10 minute walk. The parking directly in front of the property is a bonus. Though the cottage looks historical, the interior has been remodeled to contain every modern amenity you might need. We didn't cook at all, but the kitchen is well stocked. All the little "extras"- like dish soap, coffee, laundry detergent, etc... were so helpful. The sheets were soft, the towels were plush and my best friend couldn't stop talking about how good the water pressure/shower was. Jamie was a delight to communicate with for any needs. I highly recommend the unit if you are a party of 4-6. There's just enough space to feel at home without feeling cramped.

Pretty good.
House is in a great location. Unfortunately, The keypad didn’t work and we needed to request an extra key-which they responded to quickly. The house was well equipped and comfortable for 5 girlfriends. Unfortunately, the House had a strong musty moldy smell. I’m very sensitive to that so for that reason I wouldn’t stay there again.

Great Location and Service
The properties at St. Philip Square are in a fantastic location with easy access to restaurants and shops. It is also only a short walk to DASH bus stops. The units all appear to have been very recently remodeled and all share access to a beautiful outdoor space with plenty of seating areas for multiple groups to enjoy at the same time. The unit we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. We also were impressed by Jamie's communication and responsiveness. Everything we needed to know was shared in advance and when we did have a question, we received an immediate and accommodating response.

Couldn’t ask for anything more. House is clean and nicely furnished and location is just close enough to everything without being in the frenzy of the main activity. Parking spot is nice but was able to walk almost everywhere.

The Cottage was perfect for us. Enough room to move around, plenty of kitchen and bath supplies. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was spotty wireless and internet access. It very much complicated work access for a couple of us.
