Cozy English Basement Apartment w/ Private Patio
Summary:
Relax on your private patio and enjoy the convenience of free parking and a fully stocked kitchen. This welcoming 3-bedroom, 3-bath garden-level apartment offers guests easy access to everything Charleston has to offer. Housed in a historic Charleston single home built in the late 1800s, the apartment is just steps from the city’s best shops and restaurants and within walking distance to MUSC and the College of Charleston.
The Space:
The apartment recently underwent a full renovation. Measuring 1,000 square feet, the apartment offers three bedrooms each featuring premium bedding and its own full bathroom with shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen and washer/dryer. A private outdoor sitting area on the patio offers visitors another space to spread out and enjoy the fresh air.
One complimentary parking spot is offered for guests in a private parking lot. Additional parking available at $20/day.
Operating Permit: OP2025-06531
Guest Access:
Guests can use the entire garden level unit and the fully private patio. There are no shared surfaces or spaces. We are a family owned and operated business and care very much for our guests experience. We are available to help with recommendations and planning. This apartment is on the lower level of the three-story property. The home features two additional 3 bed, 3 bath rentals on the first and second floors, which can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for larger groups. Please inquire if interested.
The Neighborhood:
This apartment is ideally located in a protected historic district in the heart of downtown Charleston, just a 5-minute walk to Upper King Street and surrounded by amazing restaurants and shops. Some of the top dining spots nearby include Husk, Chubby Fish, Circa 1886, Grill 225, and The Obstinate Daughter. Whether you choose to walk or take a quick Uber, downtown attractions are just minutes away, and you can easily grab a ride to one of the three nearby island beaches, all just 20 minutes away.
Getting Around:
The Charlestonian is just blocks from Upper King Street, making it easy to explore the city on foot. For a scenic ride, hop on the free DASH shuttle, which runs along King Street with stops at popular attractions. Bike rentals and pedicab taxis are also great ways to take in the sights. If you’re in the mood for a beach day, both Folly Beach and Sullivan’s Island are just a 20-minute drive away, offering beautiful shorelines and a perfect escape from the city. Plus, we offer free parking in our lot right across the street for your convenience.

The Garden level property at the Charlestonian was perfect for our weekend away! It was tucked away and private and very spacious inside. The decor was really nicely done and had a certain charm! It was conveniently located to the downtown. Would stay again!
We visit Charleston quite a bit and this was one of the better properties. Very nice restaurant on site. Short walking distance to king street. Lots of small coffee shops and breakfast places close by. Would def stay here again.
Our family absolutely loved the basement apartment of this charming house. It provides all you could need, with plenty of space, and we loved how it's decorated. We would definitely stay here again. Hosts are fabulous with providing tips about the area.
This property was charming! Host was friendly and helpful! A bit of a hike to the heart of King St. but lots within walking distance. We enjoyed our time here!
Nicely decorated, comfy beds, great location. Only downside during our stay there were noisy people overhead. Other than that, great basement apartment!
We stayed with 5 girls for a bachelorette's party in Charleston and it was the best location for walking to King Street and other fun locations. It had 2 restaurants close by, a cute bakery and breakfast bagel spot. The place had plenty of room and the management team is the best. Communication was great and they did a great job with questions and items that came up.
Had a lovely stay in Charleston. Property was as described with more privacy than expected. The mini-split ACs in each room ensured we were cool even in the heat of the day.
This was in the best spot for my friends and I to walk easily to King street and everything we needed was in walking distance or a quick Uber ride. We’re talking about our next trip
Loved having three bathrooms for our girls trip, with cold water in the fridge when we arrived on a VERY hot August day. We were greeted when we arrived and were even able to check in a few hours early, because your place was ready. Everything was very seamless and the location was perfect for walking to get coffee + bagels in the morning and grabbing a salad + sandwich for lunch.
Everything was clean and well maintained. Communication with George was above par! Thanks for sharing your place with us. Enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evenings.
We have been coming to Charleston annually for 15 years. Sometimes with husbands but more often with girlfriends. We prefer VRBO to hotels for the benefits of common space for gathering. We loved this spot for the three of us. Cozy and in a great area for walking to so many spots around the historic district, restaurants snd shopping. Will definitely be back!
This was our first time in Charleston and we had an absolute blast. The property was beautiful. The “bungalow” (what we named it) was so adorable! The portion of the house that we stayed in was smaller, but enough room for 3 couples to sleep after a long day of exploring. The manager pleasantly greeted us once we arrived. Overall it was a great trip and we will be back!
Came for a long weekend with friends and loved our stay. The six of us were very comfortable and didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Our host was helpful, attentive and accommodating. The place is only a few blocks away from King St so we walked a lot which we enjoyed since we wanted to explore the city. The kitchen could use some more items for cooking (cutting board, tongs) but overall the place was well stocked, very clean, well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Charleston!
This place was perfect for a group of 6 women. Nice lighting and available outdoor space for a garden level. Very walkable area. Three bathrooms was awesome. Beds were very comfortable. AC worked great. Kitchen was stocked with coffee cream and all the opener items we needed.
If I could give this adorable place 100 stars I would . It was as cute as can be. Clean, Cozy and had everything we needed . The location was perfect and the owner was awesome. We had the best girls weekend . Thank you for everything.. We will be back . 🌷🎉
We visited with two other couples for the Annual Oyster Festival. The home was very centrally located. We walked most places. the house was well furnished and VERY clean! There was nothing we needed that we did not have. One bedroom is VERY SMALL (challenging to lay out your luggage) BUT the closet accommodated us just fine! Really enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owner is A+++
The staff made our check in effortless by meeting us upon arrival. Elizabeth helped us with our bags and explained everything we needed to know about the place. Including that the door automatically locks when closed.
That evening around 10 PM, our family enjoyed the porch area and one of us accidentally closed the door without having a key with us.
We immediately called and someone came over within a few minutes to let us back inside. We really appreciate that they went over and above for us.
Definitely would stay again. The Southbound restaurant is footsteps away and the best meal that we had during our visit.
We enjoyed our stay at the Charlestonian. We had plenty of room with six women and the kitchen area was well stocked with necessities. Cute quiet little neighborhood. Although we could have walked to a lot of the bars and restaurants close by it was really too hot in the South Carolina heat of summer. Not to worry, Ubers were plentiful. I was a little concerned because I’ve never stayed in a “basement “apartment before, but it was quiet and the air conditioning and fans worked great. There was plenty of sunlight from the windows. It was not really what I would think a basement would be. We felt safe and at ease, which is a major concern for me when renting a VRBO.
The property was a quaint little unit that accurately described and in a great location. The property manager was able to let us in early which was nice and came back several hours later after we checked in. The kitchen was missing some essentials (e.g., a cutting board). There were a few other slight annoyances such as the fan in one of the bathrooms was dripping dirty water and there was some beeping coming from outside that we were able to hear at night. The door was constantly getting stuck and difficult to open and close. The appliances were also not user friendly. Overall, good spot for a group that wants to do walking around and exploring.
