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.

Charlie and Rob are the most gracious hosts. Every amenity was provided, which is much more than other places which we have stayed. We loved the cottage as well as the grounds, especially the Koi pond. We hope to be returning in the future.

My husband and I stayed in a beautifully remodeled apartment over the garage of the hosts. It was very clean and well-situated for everything that we wanted to do and see in the area. A car is necessary. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. We would stay again!

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.

Fantastic stay
We had a wonderful time at Charlie and Rob’s cottage. The apartment was beautifully decorated, comfortable and quiet. The garden is worth the stay on it’s own. Charlie provided a lengthy list of places to eat and visit which was very helpful. We hope to return and will definitely stay at the cottage.

Great time in Charleston!
One of the best VRBO's we have rented over numerous years. Property description was spot on, location was fantastic, hosts were very friendly and looked out for your best interest and provided great restaurant recommendations. Definitely would rent here again. If you bike - the greenway is one block away!
