This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

Offsite Resort Amenities:
Access to The Wonderer, an exclusive adult-only resort downtown Charleston 2.6 miles away from Saint Philip Square (guests 25+ only; no one under 21 permitted at the pool).
Olympic-sized heated pool (cabana rentals available).
Gym and fitness classes (additional charges apply).
Onsite bars, restaurant, and workspaces.
Note: The Wonderer is a separate entity, and availability may vary. Book in advance for guaranteed access.

St. Philip Square offers a city block of historic elegance right in the heart of Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough district. Just one block to King Street, walkable to Charleston’s world renowned dining, attractions and shopping along King Street.
Earning 5 esteemed awards from The Preservation Society of Charleston for historic reservation, our accommodations blend new with nostalgia - each boasting unique charm and character.

Luxurious

The apartment was beautifully decorated. It was light, spotless, had a wide front porch with seating and lounging areas in the wonderful garden. We all felt pampered and comfortable. It was located in a hip neighborhood with an easy mile or so walk to the historic part of Charleston. Jamie was an attentive property manager.

Perfect property

We truly enjoyed this property. We walked to everything, the property exceeds the representative pictures on the website, the grounds are beautiful, the check in/out process was simple, there is indoor and outdoor gathering space but also enough space for individual privacy, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the beds are very comfortable. We did not utilize the management service as they were not needed. We will be back.

This was the perfect setting for a group of 9 ladies in our family, ages 33 to 80 to celebrate our mothers’ 80th birthday. Three generations for 4 wonderful days in Charleston! The house was immaculate and all the little conveniences made the stay so perfect! So well stocked in the bathrooms and kitchen, perfect location for exploring Charleston, and great communication from the host. Thank you for truly providing a home away from home!

Couples New Years Getaway

My husband and I along with my brother in law and his wife had a wonderful time. The property is perfectly located. Kings St is one block over. There were many restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance for us to choose from. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed. The grounds surrounding the property were peaceful and serene. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Charleston.

The perfect spot!

This property was even better than the pictures represented! Oh so clean and well appointed and loved having en suite bathrooms for each bedroom. There was only one couple and they of course had the king, my 85 year old mother had no problem getting up and down the outside stairs with help, I slept on the very comfortable murphy bed (room was equipped with a TV & kitchenette) and my grown nephews were fine in the room with 2 beds. The owner Jamie has thought of everything- full shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in each bathroom, makeup remover wipes, nightlights in the bathrooms as well as hair dryers. The only thing missing were the chocolates on the pillows! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any group as there is plenty of seating both inside, on the piazza and in the garden area (unfortunately it was too cold to enjoy the outdoors for too long). The location was great and the few times we didn’t use our own car to go anywhere that we couldn’t walk too, we used Uber (one of the wheelchairs we rented was broken and the rental place ran out) and the rides to the market and historical homes we toured were about $8 one way. I am ready to go back! A great Thanksgiving, making wonderful memories and eating fabulous food!

Great spot! Very nice!

We loved the unit itself. It was extremely clean, ideally located to King St and great communication from the management company. Our only negative was the neighbors upstairs. They had 2-3 kids running around starting at 5:30am. It was like they doing sprints and racing up and down the stairs for hours. Obviously this was very bad parenting and was out of the management company's control. However, you might want to ask who is staying above you. We will be back!
