The Cottage at StPhilipSquare, One Block to Upper King St.

Private courtyard cottage home with privacy fence and onsite parking One Block to King Street

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.

Offsite Adult Pool & Gym Access
We partner with an offsite resort called the Wonderer which is located in downtown Charleston, a short drive away. Our guests 25+ are able to visit the wonderer. There is a strict age policy, no one under 21 will be permitted (including the pool). Resort features : Olympic size pool (heated in winter) , Poolside Cabana (additional charge), Gym (classes at additional charge) , 2 bars , Restaurant , Private & Shared work space
*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.

Our office manager, Jamie, has her office on site and is very available for questions, luggage storage and other help. However, we don’t hover and give you as much privacy as you want.

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.

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.

Perfect in town home
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.

Charleston cottage charmer!
The Cottage at St. Philip Square is ideally located off of shopping on King Street near other well maintained Vrbo properties. The fenced-in front brick patio/courtyard was our favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee and dine outside. Perfectly sized home for our family of four traveling together. Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, full sized washer and dryer very convenient. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!
