About this property

The Cottage at St. Philip Square

She stands alone!

Our charming cottage allows you to have your cake and eat it too with her serene privacy and lovely enclosed courtyard (furchildren welcome), while still being a stone's throw from all the fun and play downtown Charleston has to offer.

Featuring an open-concept living and dining area, this abode feels both spacious and cozy all at once. The chef’s kitchen comes complete with new stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked should you choose to dine in or entertain at the darling bar.

Each of her three bedrooms comes with a queen bed along with a comfortable West Elm sleeper sofa should you need to rest a couple more heads.

The two bathrooms are conveniently located near the bedrooms and each comes equipped with premium linens.

As our guest, you’ll be given convenient, off-street parking and a delightfully unique space to call your own during your Charleston getaway that is mere steps away from all that historic downtown has to offer.

I will definitely be back to this property to stay for all of our College of Charleston visits. The 3 bedrooms were perfect and the walk to everywhere was just right. Great restaurants and shops nearby. Check-in was the easiest ever.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
The owner fell in love with Charleston when as a college student many years ago, he came to Charleston to teach children to sail and never left. He bought the St. Phillip Square cluster of properties and rented them on annual basis. Since then, he and his wife crossed the ocean on their sailboat with their three children and stayed in many vacation rentals. Upon returning to Charleston in 2017, the market had changed dramatically opening up this area to popular and legal short term rentals. He has owned this property since 1997 and has now made it available to short term rental.

Why they chose this property

This property features the best of Charleston! It offers the privacy of a stand alone property but is a manageable and comfortable size which is unusual in the midst of historic Charleston. Parking spot directly in driveway in front of Cottage.
The location of the cottage should be noted. Recently Charleston has imposed very restrictive rules on short term renting. This particular area is the only area that allows short term renting (under 30 days) without the owner being present. Moreover, this property is located in the most southern part of the legal short term rental area so it is the closest you can be to the South of Broad/Calhoun St. historic districts without the owner being present and still be legal. We are between Cannon and Morris Streets on St Philip St. Study the map before making decisions.

What makes this property unique

This charming cottage is nestled among historic award winning properties whilst offering one-story modern convenience and comfort. Large kitchen is fully equipped with microwave and coffee maker. It is professionally decorated, attractive and charming with a mix of antiques and carefully selected objects in the Charleston tradition. There is off-street parking for two cars.

This property is ideally located in the legally designated short term rental district.
