Stay in an 1852 Antebellum Mansion Downtown
About this house rental
Live like a local in this show-stopping three bedroom, two bath apartment located in downtown Charleston. Housed in an historic home dating to 1852, every detail of the rental was fully renovated in from 2011-2018 to feature antique heart pine flooring, tongue and groove walls, European hardware dating to the original period of the home, a fully custom kitchen, brand new washer and dryer, and more. The floorplan is ideal for socializing with an open concept living room and eat-in kitchen on one end with the three bedrooms on the opposite end. The living room and kitchen look out high over Cannon street, one of Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood’s most vibrant streets, home to many popular stores and restaurants all just steps from the rental. The chef-ready custom kitchen features high-end kitchen appliances sourced in Europe that make it convenient to whip up any meal – although with so many great restaurants within blocks of the rental, it may be hard to resist the many nearby culinary options. Off of this living room/kitchen area is a classic Charleston porch, a veranda, offering guests an outdoor area to visit and people watch. All three bedrooms boast comfortable queen beds with plush bedding. Two of the three bedrooms feature full ensuite bathrooms (shower and toilet – no bathtubs). One of the two bathrooms opens both to the bedroom as well as the hallway, allowing the third bedroom to access the bathroom from the hallway just off the bedroom. The rental is located on the second floor (spiral staircase!) of the home and is one of three rentals we offer within the home. Please inquire if interested in booking more than one rental and we’d be happy to try to accommodate larger parties throughout our other rentals. One onsite parking spot is available for the rental behind the house – with room to park one more car for $20 per day across the street in a parking lot that we lease as needed. Absolutely no parties or late-night noise will be tolerated.

The property was even better than the photos! Clean, spacious, welcoming, and warm. The deck/piazzas were amazing for lounging in the morning. Each bedroom has its own flair and we loved learning about the history of the property. Steps away from great shops and food. Cannot recommend this place and location enough!

Mom/Dad came down to host Thanksgiving in Charleston for our Clemson son (and friend). This VRBO was perfect for the trip. Kitchen was top shelf for pulling out a Thanksgiving Meal. Location allows us to walk to almost everything. Can't over state the time sitting on the second floor porch with coffee watching the world go by. Amazing fine touches done on this rennovation.

Great property for 3 couples. Close to all the sights and a fabulous restaurant right next door. We were all very impressed with our unit. Beautifully redone and well done. We had a great time hanging out, seeing Charleston and attending basketball tournament at the College of Charleston. Would definitely consider on next trip to Charleston.

Short vacation with my wife and two of our closest friends, From the moment we arrived, Morgan, (the owner) greeted us to help bring our luggage up to our rental. Everything was spotless and conveniently located. Beds were comfortable and all linens were clean. We felt right at home. Location was only about two blocks to King Street. If ever back in Charleston, this is the location that we will book. Thank you Morgan for an incredible stay.

This place was wonderful... very clean and perfect for a girls trip to Charleston! Great location...with a wonderful restaurant Southland next door. The balcony was the perfect spot for morning coffees and evenings spent after dinner drinking wine.
Communication with the manager before our stay was not what I am used to for a premier host. Would take days if not more to reply. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Once we arrived, Morgan was wonderful with communication.

Unique and original property that made our visit unforgettable. Clearly, the owners have put their heart into making this place truly awesome.

The vintage decor and use of space was amazing. Close proximity to King St. We loved sitting on the spacious half of our porch. There is a narrow spiral staircase to the upstairs units, so it would be very difficult for someone with mobility issues. Holey Bagel, a couple blocks away, was very good for breakfast. Ladles, in the garden level of the house, had excellent soups, salads and sandwiches. I highly recommend this property.

Property is fantastic. Clean, well appointed, and plenty of towels, pillows, toilet paper, pots, pans, utensils, etc. we were a family of six adults and had plenty of room. The place is situated just a few blocks from King Street so location was great. George and Morgan were readily available and just awesome hosts. Our flight was early and they allowed us to drop our bags at the house and let us check in two hours early. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back.

Can’t say enough about this place, excellently appointed, loud fans, comfortable bedding, thick quality towels, phone chargers and noise machines in each room. Within walking distance of King Street, restaurant right next door. I haven’t even mentioned how beautiful it was, with high quality kitchen items, iclad pans, high end stove, industrial decor. Great experience overall, a bit pricey for as often as we come, but if we are ever bringing friends into town, we will definitely bring them here.

This rental was beautifully appointed with a mix of fancy french appliances, vintage fixtures, antique and industrial design elements, and cozy furniture. We slept on the most comfortable beds and pillows. It was a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and nightlife on King Street. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the front porch after a day of site seeing and shopping. It was a perfect spot for a group of 4 best friends from college, now in our 40s.

Nice clean condo close to shops music and restaurants. Spiral staircases is a bit steep but the front balcony made it worthwhile.

Great property in great neighborhood. walkable to downtown areas. Wonderful new restaurant right next door. Very well appointed property--better than most rentals I've had over the years, especially if you plan to cook in. Would stay here again in a second.

George was very personable and let us in when we arrived. He gave us more information on the city and was very friendly. He takes good care of his guests and his properties. We stayed on the second floor in a beautiful, classy, detailed, space. This house is in the food district, short walk from a few cute restaurants and holy city bagels shop! Below the house is Ladles, another unique restaurant. Perfect location just a short drive from Sullivans island and the battery and rainbow row. Overall a very beautiful and quiet setting perfect for our girls trip. Very impressed with the decor and location!

Wonderful Experience
We loved our stay. The property was lovely, clean and comfortable. It was in reality as it was represented online, which isn’t always the case for rentals. I would absolutely stay here or at another of George’s properties again, and I’ve already recommended it to others. The location is easy. Quick access to Upper King and minutes away via car to lower King area. Parking was easy as was check-in and checkout. We have no complaints!

Exceeded expectations!
This listing is absolutely gorgeous! The beds and bedding were so comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for your stay. We traveled to Charleston with our two teenage boys and they had a great time too. The Charlestonian on Cannon St. Is close to shops and restaurants….great location! The management staff was quick to reply back to texts and they were very easy to work with! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great week!

We had a wonderful time in Charleston and the accommodations at The Charlestonian were excellent. The hosts were very responsive, made the check in easy and provided some great recommendations. It's a very comfortable and nicely renovated space and well suited for 6 people. We really enjoyed sitting out on the veranda/balcony in the mornings and evenings. It's also located in a great part of town with easy access to great restaurants and bars. We highly recommend it!

Great location! Close to everything we wanted or needed. George and his team do a great job. The unit was stocked with every kitchen utensil you could imagine. Even tho we didn’t use it the property has an electric car charging station which is quickly becoming a requirement for many people. We had one minor issue and George responded immediately. We would all highly recommend the unit and if in Charleston again this would be our only choice.

The owners have turned this space into a wonderful 3-bedroom gem using the space creatively and creating a unique oasis for guests. Be prepared to enter through the outdoor spiral staircase where you will enter the unit. The outdoor porch facing Cannon Street is fabulous and you are within walking distance to King Street and all the wonderful shops and restaurants.

Location, history, charm
My husband and I traveled with several friends from Atlanta and spent three wonderful nights at the Charlestonian! It was fabulous…….I honestly don’t know where to begin. Everything met or exceeded our expectations! The guest rooms are warmly decorated with perfect touches from times past. The owners and staff were wonderful. From the moment we checked in, to the moment we checked out, we were made to feel at home. The location is just steps from King Street with several of Charleston‘s top restaurants within walking distance. Thank you for hosting us, we already look forward to our next visit!
