Best Ever
Where do I start. I booked this home because my husband is very sick and has been in MUSC for the last 6 weeks. I can’t tell you how the host of this property worked with me and helped me through the last month. This person is an Angel on earth and I was so lucky to have found this property and was able to get the support that I desperately needed. The house is wonderful. Clean and very well furnished. I highly recommend this property to anyone that needs a long term rental in Charleston. I would have stayed as long as possible but it was rented. Very close to the hospital and restaurants. Thank you Aaron. You have been truly a lifesaver. God bless you.

Wonderful 1850s Historic Home
My husband and I spent four weeks in January 2023 at this lovely historic home. For the past 10 years we've spent a month each winter in the south to get away from midwestern winter weather. This home is my favorite. The kitchen is well-equipped for those who like to prepare meals. Cleanliness is very important and this home meets my high standards. The owner, Aaron, was always responsive to questions or issues. If you enjoy history, Charleston is the perfect place to visit.

Perfect Charleston
We rented this unit for one month. Friends and family came and went during that time. The unit is exactly as described. Beds are super comfortable. Extra bedding. Perfectly appointed kitchen. Keurig, Nespresso and Mr Coffee. Coffee grinder. Electric tea pot. No detail overlooked. Very close to the hip restaurant scene in Charleston. Can walk to many fabulous restaurants. 15 minutes to the airport for all the comings and goings. We had a great time!!

Stellar location!
We loved our month long stay at this property. First, it is very attractive and comfortable -- lots of charm, yet fully updated. The kitchen is fully equipped, though we chose to eat out just about every night. Charleston's top restaurants are within a 10 minute walk (Chubby Fish, Melfi's, Chez Nous, etc.). It was our fourth year renting on the penninsula, and this location was the best yet! What's more, Aaron was super communicative and responsive. If I could give add'l stars, I would!
