About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Cottage at StPhilipSquare, One Block to King, Charming Private Hideaway

Our charming cottage allows you privacy that includes a lovely enclosed courtyard.
Featuring an open-concept living and dining area, this free standing home feels both spacious and cozy. The kitchen comes complete with stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked.
Each of the three bedrooms have queen beds. The three bathrooms are conveniently located near the bedrooms.
Live like a local in this private abode with a private outdoor garden, comfortable seating area and a private outdoor grill.

Special Amenity: The Wonderer
We partner with The Wonderer, a private membership club in downtown Charleston;
It is located 2.6 miles from the property. A shuttle bus ( stop located one block away)
is available at a cost. Groups of 8 or more are required to rent a Cabana (extra charge)
The club features an Olympic sized swimming pool, gym, spa, two bars, restaurant, private or
shared workspaces. This adult club is open to guests 25 and older
*Disclaimer*
The Wonderer is a separate company. They reserve the right to alter availability due to events and no inconvenience credits with be given due to issues with the Wonderer. Availability is not guaranteed. We suggest booking in advance.

The entire property is available to guests. The courtyard is enclosed and private. There is one parking place dedicated to the property right in front of the cottage. The cottage is a stand alone, one story building so guests have complete privacy. However, Jamie’s office is next door if you need help.

Located just one block from King Street, St. Philip Square is a collection of 6 restored historic homes with a spacious shared courtyard and outdoor garden areas that span an entire city square block of downtown Charleston. 
 

We rate a 94 on the “walk score” which ranges from 0 to 100. Shops, restaurants and attractions are an easy walk. The routes north to Sullivans Island and Isle of Palms and south to Kiawah and Seabrook and Wadmalaw Islands or Drayton Hall and Middleton Place Plantation are easily accessed if you have a car. We guarantee one parking place right in front of the cottage. However bike taxis and Uber are a quick call away and city transportation is nearby.

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.

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.
