Great Stay!

Enjoyed the accommodations. Everything was exactly as pictured. Morgan was superb on keeping us up to date before, and during our stay. Overall rating was 4 stars due to a few things. 1) The bathroom which was my problem area. Lighting was not the best. Trying to see well while putting on makeup was challenging. The shower which was nice and small in my opinion should not be a rain shower head. Hard to navigate washing your hair when you can"t seem to escape the water not to mention trying to shave was impossible. With the vanity there was absolutely no place to but your items. Pedestal sink was not the option for that bathroom. On the bedding only problem there was the paper thin pillows. If that doesn't bother you (like my husband) then it will be great. Mattress was super! The decor of the property was very nice. Also enjoyed the picnic table on the front porch. Location was adequate. I would stay here again and would also recommend. Next time I would bring my pillow. Hope this helps anyone looking for additional and a true review of the property.

Engagement Weekend

While staying at the Charlestonian for a weekend getaway, my boyfriend proposed in front of the Pineapple Fountain and we became engaged! It was incredible and the Charlestonian was the perfect and cutest place to stay while it happened. The place looked exactly like the pictures and was located in a central place to everything happening downtown, we could walk anywhere. It was clean and had all the right amenities. The **only** issue we had was the parking. We were given a map and instructions, but we arrived at night and wished that the map had more detail (like which way was north, etc.) We eventually figured it out and for anyone coming in the future: "Ladles" is a great point of reference. Overall, incredible stay! We will definitely be back :)

Great location and beautiful space

This property was amazing! It was in a perfect location to walk to the restaurants and other fun. However the flooring is thin. I’m not sure if there no way to better insulate but I was able to hear the upstairs guests engaged in coitus.

Perfect getaway -highly recommend

I loved my stay here. It was easy to communicate with the owners via email and text. They reached out first to connect with me and sent me a detailed picture showing me where to park. Check in/out was simple and the accommodations were so nice. It was so relaxing and I loved the outside picnic table. It’s even better than the pictures. I would definitely choose this place again and recommend it to anyone. We left my phone in the room after locking up and checking out and they came right over to open it up for me to grab it. Bottom line-this place is pretty perfect.
