Not what it seemed
Small room attached to he main house. Steep, narrow stairs leading to the bedroom. No TV in the bedroom and no air. Very hot and couldnt sleep. Stairs were not listed in description and my friend had a broken foot and was extremely hard to get up thr narrow stairs. We checked out the very next morning and have had zero communication from manager. Ive called and emailed. Hoping for a partial refund. Also its no where close to main streets. We had to uber everywhere. Hotel was much cheaper than this place. Would never stay again

What a gem
Having experienced a variety of accommodations around the world, this is truly one of our favorites. The ideal location is made even better by the thoughtful and charming elements of this property. The guest quarters are in a beautifully renovated kitchen house that is set in a charming and welcoming garden. The first floor includes a small but functional kitchen and a sitting area. A photobook provides a history of the renovation of the space and a glass cabinet displays artifacts discovered onsite. The host thoughtfully stocked the refrigerator with eggs, milk, yogurt, coffee, juice and frozen quiche and a bowl held a variety of fresh fruit. A plate of delicious banana bread was waiting for us. Up the stairs is a charming bedroom with a comfortable queen bed and a twin iron framed bed. A dresser and closet provide ample room to unpack. The bathroom is nicely done in marble and the shower is better than most.
The best element of this charming property however are the hosts. Becky and Bob are a delightful and welcoming couple living in the attached home and they welcomed us as though we were family visiting from afar. Their thoughtfulness and kindness will not be forgotten.
This is truly a special place. Do yourself a favor and enjoy it.

Charleston Wedding Trip
We came to a wedding at the Citadel and stayed at this wonderful bnb. It was close to the venue and reception and walking distance to downtown. My husband and my daughter had plenty of room. It was clean and the host was very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay so much. We would love to come back on our next trip to Charleston!!!

Historic Charleston
The perfect spot to see most of historic Charleston by foot. Most everything was within a 15 minute walk in all directions. Becky was a gracious host and certainly takes pride in her cozy B&B on Orange street. The kitchen house was spotless and full of amenities. We loved our stay and would go back without hesitation.

Convenient , cozy, comfortable
Becky and Bill have created a beautifully restored, "dependency" building in the historic South of Broad neighborhood into a comfortable cottage. It lacked nothing, providing delicious breakfast goodies and snacks, a comfortable garden in nice weather, and an easy walk to everything in historic Charleston. We would visit there again with no hesitation.

Chasing good weather in Savannah
The Bird House apartment was very comfortable and clean. It’s location was great. We had a minor problem with the AC, the response was immediate, and it was fixed within an hour of us contacting management. We would stay here again.
Close to everything! Park right at your door! Quiet, quaint, clean, and comfortable!

Charming Kitchen Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this Classical Charleston home! The restored kitchen cottage sat in a lovely back garden with beautiful landscaping and comfortable patio chairs and table.
The small kitchen and living area were clean and cozy and Becky left delicious muffins,eggs, milk, fruit and cereal for continental breakfasts. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. We had everything we could possibly need! Reading about the homes’ history and seeing early artifacts found during renovation was an extra special treat.
Orange street is easily walkable to many of the sights, waterways and restaurants.
We loved our stay and hope to come back!

Great location!
Owner is lovely. Location is perfect. Some things didn't work (leaky tub, hair dryer) but the leak was fixed quickly. Minor inconveniences (no shampoo) but, though smallish, the unit and gardens were very, very nice and we could walk everywhere.
