The Cottage at DuPont. Privacy and Space in a Park-like Setting.

A great way to "get away from it all" in Charleston. Enjoy this spacious 1064 square foot cottage located in a beautifully landscaped private garden setting.

Beautifully furnished, always spotlessly clean with a well-furnished full kitchen...and totally away from the crowds. The cottage is a free-standing self-contained private accommodation in a beautiful garden setting with off street parking.

Only four miles from the Historic District the Cottage is close to Middleton and Magnolia Gardens, Drayton Hall, Charles Towne Landing, McLeod Plantation, the Intracoastal Waterway and 20 minutes from Folly Beach. The ten mile long West Ashley Greenway is just two blocks away. It's great for walking and biking. Our own private garden with koi pond and waterfall is also a nice place to unwind.

Getting out of the downtown crowd allows our guests to relax and enjoy a 1064 square foot cottage with TWO Queen size beds in ONE 25' X 12' bedroom and a large living area. The property has an awesome kitchen with marble countertops and a large living area where guests can share a meal and some quality time together.

If you want to go downtown it's five minutes away. If you want to walk the gardens, ride or walk the greenway or just stare out across a gorgeous Intracoastal waterway view you can do that right here in West Ashley on your own schedule. All of these options are between 2 and 15 minutes away. Many restaurants in the area deliver independently or participate with GrubHub and UberEats.

The Cottage is located in the DuPont section of West Ashley on Wappoo Road between the West Ashley Greenway and the Stono River Overlook ICW at the Edgewater Park Bridge. The building faces a private garden behind a privacy gate and is completely separate from the owners' home which is also on the property. We are located two miles from the Avondale entertainment district and four miles to downtown Charleston and the Medical District.

We enjoy interacting with guests, but we also believe in giving people their space. All arrangements can be made online and contact-free. We are generally available during the day between 8AM and 7PM and we are happy to assist you with local information or any special needs. The Cottage at DuPont is a fully licensed short term rental accommodation in the City of Charleston. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW PETS, CHILDREN, SMOKING OR EVENTS OF ANY KIND.

Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday weekend retreat! My husband picked the perfect spot – cozy, clean, and so serene. The koi pond was such a peaceful touch, and our hosts, Charlie and Rob, welcomed us with open arms, making us feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back

First time visitors to Charleston
My husband and I loved this place! It was perfect for the 2 of us. We stayed here for a wedding that we were attending and it was a convenient location. The neighborhood was quaint. Charlie was a great host who was happy to have us hang out with him by the pond to chat. The unit was above the garage and was very clean. Charlie thought of everything as it was well equipped with pump soap in the bathrooms, plenty of fresh towels, laundry detergent, etc. We would definitely come back to this place. We've never been to Charleston and I was worried if the place would be as good as the pictures and it actually exceeded our expectations!! My husband and I said multiple times that we lucked out on this find!

“slice of heaven”
The hosts and the property are truly one-of-a-kind! We instantly felt welcomed. Our hosts were warm, attentive, & familiar. The property was truly an oasis and well-loved. Just being in the garden felt resort-like. The carriage house apartment was efficient and well-appointed. As owners of our own VRBO property; We well appreciate the love, care, and labor of this “slice of heaven”. We will be raving about this place for a long time to come and would definitely return, on our next trip to Charleston!!!!!!!!!! Sincere thanks to our hosts.

Pictures will never do any place justice. This place is diamond in a gem mine. If you love wine, peace and quiet, easy accesss to everything, and if you so decide some other people to share wine as you sit under a beautifully lit naturescape, this is your place. Rob and Charlie really make you feel like your home away from home.

The grounds of this property are almost bucolic in nature. We enjoyed relaxing outside by the pond after a day of touring in nearby Charleston. The host provided us with numerous suggestions on local sites and restaurants which we found very helpful. The unit is clean, beds are comfortable (a must), and the kitchen well equipped with up to date appliances. We would highly recommend this property and would absolutely consider staying here again.

A little slice of Paradise!
Absolutely beautiful well appointed newly built 2nd floor carriage house set in a unique lush landscape also designed by the owner. The layout: open, well furnished complete with great art, tasteful accessories, nice stemware and dishes. The articulated 10ft high tray/sloped ceilings and round bedroom window made the space feel extra special. Lots of daylight, dimmable recessed lighting, hardwood floors throughout. Outside, three distinct somewhat private feeling sitting areas, our favorite being by the pond with small waterfall and 20+ koi fish and happy turtle. -- a great way to unwind from the days' excursions. Neighborhood was very quiet and a short 20mins to the many historic sites downtown and around Charlston. To top it off, Charlie and Robert are the most gracious of hosts. I welcome the opportunity to stay with them again and experience more of the area soon!
