Great Location

My mom and I stayed here for our first trip to Charleston. The place was beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. It was in the perfect location being in the middle of every place we wanted to visit. Everything was super clean and beautifully put together. I would definitely recommend!

Great stay

Wonderful week visiting family. Cottage is well stocked & very clean. The only downside was a garment steamer instead of iron - too time consuming.

Beautiful and Quiet

The newly remodeled property has everything needed for a beach trip or a fun stay in Charleston. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet close to all the beaches and downtown. We had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend the vacation home. We look forward to our return!

Darling Cottage

This property was so wonderful on the inside! Comfy. Cozy, great kitchen, nice beds and towels! The neighborhood was a bit odd, a mix of small businesses, trailer homes and small homes. A great stay for a couple of nights. Easy access to Downtown and the gardens.

Perfect Charleston Getaway

This super cute property is IMMACULATELY clean with all necessary amenities provided and even some non-necessary ones ( a record player!!) We were about a 15 minute drive down to the water to stroll down Meeting Street, visit Ft. Sumter, and shop at the City Market. We had a quiet, peaceful stay and would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Charleston!

Charleston Wedding

Place was just as described, great location in West Ashley. Reasonably close to everything we wanted to see and do during our stay, especially for the Wedding that was held at Legare Waring House. Kitchen was nicely equipped, cooked breakfast every morning and one dinner during our stay. We stayed in and survived Hurricane Helene, power was out for 3-4 hours but all was good. Would highly recommend Charlie’s Place.

Helpful host

Rental is clean and well furnished with everything we needed. I mixed up the checkout date during my wedding week madness but the host came over to assist with our move out so the place could be cleaned and ready for the next guest. Overall positive experience

An excellent choice

We highly recommend Charles' cottage. The unit is thoughtfully furnished, and he provides many small touches that help it feel "homelike." It is in a quiet neighborhood and very convenient to central Charleston, grocery and restaurant choices, etc. This cottage is undoubtedly one of my best vacation rental experiences. Check it out!
