The third floor offers a master suite with a queen size bed, walk in closet, washer/ dryer and a beautiful full bathroom featuring a beautiful marble and glass shower.
    We are located 20-30 minutes to 5 beaches. Enjoy a day at the beach.

Great location in historic area of Charleston within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and various attractions. Kitchen was well equipped and beds were very comfortable, but lots of steps to reach them on 2nd and 3rd floors. We enjoyed our stay!

The charming Kitchen House gives a wonderful feel for Old Charleston. It's one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in. Every detail of the three-story house was elegant. The accommodations were comfortable and the location was perfect for viewing Charleston's magnificent houses.

Terrific historical property

The Rutledge Summer Kitchen was a fantastic 2 BR/2BA quaint property right off the Battery. It’s well-equipped, has plenty of lounging space, extremely comfortable beds, and nicely decorated. One of the best I’ve booked over many years. So much better than staying in a forgettable hotel.

Charming Historic Property

A charming historic property, extremely clean and great location. The owner provided very nice touches such as waters in fridge, coffee bar, snack basket, and bathroom amenities. We had a wonderful stay! Would not recommend for anyone who has a problem with stairs, but if that's not an issue, this is a perfect spot to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer!
