Located in historic Charleston, SC Cannonborough area within walking distance to popular restaurants and pubs. This charming cottage is only 6 blocks to shopping on King Street and has a Free Trolley pickup stop 1 block from the Cottage House.

The Space:
Private patio and secure off street parking. The first floor has an open layout with a living and dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator.

The cottage has a nice yard and off street parking. It is located only a block away from three popular restaurants, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Bistronomy By Nico and Fuel. Walk about 5 blocks and you will be on King Street with many of Charleston's favorite new restaurants and boutiques.

The Neighborhood:
The Elliotborough/Cannonborough district of downtown Charleston. With its friendly neighbors, cozy restaurants, and tree lined streets, our neighborhood will immerse you in Charleston’s classic charm. This house is perfect for a family or group seeking a fun, culinary and cultural vacation. Popular dining spots in the neighborhood include Xiao Bao Biscuit, Fuel, Porchetta Shop, Southbound, R Kitchen, Chubby Fish and many more! Our guests and neighbors also rave about Welton's Tiny Bakeshop and Kudu Coffee. We recommend going to either for a cup of locally-roasted coffee or their delicious cookies and cakes. The house is only a short walk from the very popular King Street where you will find a multitude of great shops – including antique shops, book stores and fashion boutiques – as well as endless buzzing restaurants and bars.

Location was perfect!

Location was perfect, super walkable. Fuel Cantina and Holey City Bagels were conveniently close-by. Food was great everywhere we visited. Downtown Charleston including all attractions were within walking distance for us (could be a bit long for others who aren’t walkers)…it was a beautiful, pleasant walk to and from. Charleston City Market, The Lost History of Black Charleston walking tour led by historian and educator Damon Fordham, and Folly Beach were among my favorite experiences. My friend enjoyed the wine complimentary of the Vrbo, which was a nice way to cap off our wonderful stay in Charleston. We both thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning. Oh and the mattress was super comfortable. We slept well.

Comftorble

The place was clean and comfortable. However, the price I paid was the same as a 2 bedroom, ocean front condo on Isle of Palms the last time we were here. I will stay there if and when I come back. Love Charleston!!!

Cute cottage

Be careful of the kitchen door it opens by itself. Needs a deadbolt. Also there is no bathroom upstairs and no way to turn the stairway light off or on from upstairs. Otherwise very clean.

Very Great Time

Had a blast staying over the 4th of July at this place. It was hot which was to be expected, but the lower floors were very cool during the day and at night. Thank you!

Great Location

A cute little place, big enough for 2, close enough to walk or ride a bicycle to see the sights but far enough away to avoid the noise and traffic. Would definitely stay here again.

A Great Stay in Charleston

The place was clean, comfortable, and as it states, charming. It was just what we were looking for as a place to stay while visiting Charleston. The location is safe, quiet, and well-placed for touring in the historic district. We walked everywhere, but the free bus also stops nearby. We had a great time.

Great Stay

I liked how we were close enough to walk everywhere without being right in the middle of the crowds. The house was clean and comfortable and I liked that they had off street private parking. Check in and check out was so easy. Being close the the bakery Sugar was definitely a plus, the best cookies ever!!

Great intown cottage

Our stay in this cottage was great! The location is convenient to the historic area. It is a bit of a walk if you are going all the way to the Battery, but the free trolley stop is nearby. The cottage is perfect for a couple. It is very well-stocked with everything you need for a stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful and sweet place to stay, convenient walk to downtown destinations

We had a delightful stay at this property. We had everything we needed. We were there in the weekend and my only complaint was that it was very loud in the neighborhood the second night. Overall, it was sweet and mostly quiet the rest of the time.
