This charming apartment is the perfect base to enjoy an enchanting Charleston experience. Charleston is like Rome, Italy in that most of the notable monuments and historic details are found in a fairly contained area. You can literally walk from the apartment to the southernmost extremes of the Historic District in under thirty minutes. Passing antebellum homes and cobblestone streets, this journey will take you through the Historic King Street District and the neighborhoods of Cannonborough, Elliottborough, Radcliffborough, Harleston Village and finally South of Broad until you reach the Battery itself. Go east one block and you are on King Street, the home of designer shops, eclectic boutiques, antique stores and a host of other fascinating shops as well as nationally acclaimed restaurants. Upper King is the new center of Charleston’s renowned restaurant and night life. A recent survey of the “essential 18 Charleston Restaurants” has several of these restaurants (Hominy Grill, The Grocery, The Macintosh, The Ordinary) within four blocks of the apartment. We also love to walk to Five Loaves Cafe, Stella’s Greek Restaurant, Goulette Rotisserie, Sugar Bakery and the Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square. The South Carolina Aquarium and the Children’s Museum of the Low Country are close and a delight for both children and parents. The Charleston Museum, one of the nation’s first museums, is also within walking distance. We are excited to offer this attractive space on VRBO.If you vacationing in Charleston and need to sleep from 2 to 72 people…in award winning historic properties…one block from King St. and .4 miles to Calhoun St…beautifully renovated with stunning decor and parking, St Philip Square is your answer!You need to look carefully to realize our properties are noticeably closer to South of Broad, and our buildings are substantial historic buildings, with charm and character not possible in new construction, in a community setting where groups can gather, in an area where it’s possible to rent without the owner present, in properties that sparkle with stunning renovation and charming decor.
