St. Phillips Square

I cannot say enough about this place. We absolutely loved it and I hold a very high bar. Clean with all the conveniences. Being able to sit on the porch and in the courtyard was an extra, wonderful bonus. I have already told many family members and friends that if they are ever in Charleston, I have the place for them to stay.

Perfect place for a weekend stay

Property was well maintained and the host even had sound machines for all of the bedrooms. The parking was easy and the lock info for door entry was very well explained. I loved the location to King street shops and all of the restaurants. Will definitely be back maybe for a girls weekend at this property. We loved it

Great spot right off King Street!

6 of us enjoyed this property for a bachelorette weekend, it was a perfect spot! Walking distance from great bars and restaurants, and only a half hour walk from waterfront park and the ocean. The porch was a great place to hang out, and the property was well maintained and easy to access.

Great Location

This property was a great location for both driving and walking. Good parking and close to King street and neighborhood eateries. Good communication regarding checkin and checkout. The living space was good. One of the bedrooms is a little tight for two people but would be perfect for one. Our only issue was the washing machine did not work and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend.

This was a great property for CofC graduation! The location was ideal as we were able to walk to the graduation ceremony. Onsite parking was a major plus as was the very inviting porch with ample seating for 6. This property had spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, very comfortable living room (especially the couch), and a kitchen that was suitable for meal prep. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
We have been listing our properties through VRBO for 4 years and have also rented places from Rome, to Camden, Maine to Paris and Normandy France. We are Charlestonians who have crossed the ocean on our sailboat. We love to travel and we appreciate VRBO both as owners and renters.

Why they chose this property

This property is a beautiful old historic Charleston house that is located in a dynamic and exciting area of the city. It has great access to all the Charleston treasures, offers parking, comfort and convenience.

St Philip Square uniquely offers 8 properties within a "square" that opens onto a shared parking area. Each apartment is a separate unit and has its own qualities. It is the perfect opportunity for groups of all sizes to organize a joint rental but each apartment is separate and its own place. The VRBO numbers are listed here:
1446527. 1531369. 1351757. 1662029. 834186. 7841346. 7841344. 567555
If you put these numbers into a VRBO search without dates you will be able to view each listing.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!! But also tasteful charm, comfort and convenience.

We are in the "short term rental overlay" established by the city and this neighborhood which guarantees we are legal and safe for you to book. Moreover, this property is closer to Calhoun Street and South of Broad than other legal short term rentals. You can't always tell the difference online. This is a fine building that won awards in 1999 for its outstanding historic renovation. You will be pleased when you make this your choice.
