You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Lovely Retreat

What a lovely, secluded cottage that offers both privacy and relaxation. The garden and Koi pond were a welcome oasis after a day of touring in Charleston. The owners were readily available throughout our stay and were both welcoming and accommodating. (we tried several of the restaurant recommendations and were not disappointed!)The cottage was prefect for 2 people for a get-away vacation. We certainly will return again.Thank you. Georgia and Dan

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.

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.

Perfection

I stayed in the property M-F. Extremely clean, comfortable, and well-kept property. Perfectly centralized location to downtown, beaches, etc, but not in a touristy area. Pictures don't do the wonderfully landscaped back yard justice. It's like a private botanical garden. The hosts were very friendly and top notch. This is the way a VRBO should be. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back.

Excellent Location

We had a great time staying in West Ashley at this rental on Wappoo. Charlie and Rob were the perfect hosts- ready with information and conversation. The rental was clean, comfortable, and stylish. Kitchen is stocked with whatever you need to prepare meals and a nicer refrigerator than the one we have at home! Very well located with lots to do nearby. Our favorites were Charleston, Charlestown Landing and the Greenway. We didn’t have time to go to Folly Beach - so we’ll just have to go back! Thanks for a great stay!

Southern Hospitality At Its Finest!

When we first were looking to book, I reached out to Charlie with many questions which he promptly answered and provided information about the surrounding area. Our son is stationed in Goose Greek and we needed a place close by that had a full kitchen so that he could have some of his favorite home cooked meals. Let's just say, the kitchen in the cottage is spectacular! The cottage decor is well done and the chosen pieces fit the theme! The bedding immediately caught my eye and the beds & pillows were very comfortable! The towels provided were both soft and plush! The garden is a quiet, very relaxing sanctuary! I could have sat by the Koi pond for hours....and if you visit, watch for the adventures of Hoity Toity the Red-Bellied Turtle! What began as a visit to see our son and would probably be our only trip to Charleston fast became a "WE WILL BE BACK"! We experienced true Southern Hospitality. Charlie and Rob went above and beyond and their kindness will never be forgotten. We arrived as strangers and departed friends. Do not hesitate to book The Cottage at DuPont! You will not be disappointed!
