About this property

Great Downtown Charleston Location!

You have found the perfect place for your Charleston stay!!!

The Space:
Experience what it means to live like a local in our 2-story Downtown Charleston home with 6bd/5.5ba this home would be ideal for large groups/families of up to 12 people. Located 1 block off King Street, you can walk to restaurants, bakeries, bars, and more within just a few minutes or opt to drive to any of Charleston’s surrounding areas to see all it has to offer! Two parking spots are included with this rental with a dedicated turn around spot at the rear of the lot, so you never have to back out when leaving to explore!

What Makes Us Different:
• Located 1 block from the heart of the entertainment district of Upper King Street
• House sits back from street, adding additional privacy
• Sonos Sound System that brings overhead speakers to the Living Room, Kitchen, Entertainment Room, and 2 Master Bedrooms
• Wall accessible HDMI ARC inputs in the Entertainment Room allow for business presentations, sharing pictures with family and friends, or gaming to be projected on our two 65” Smart QLED TV’s.
• Seating area under the canopy of the grand live oak tree outside of the Entertainment Room enables indoor/ outdoor living.
• Private porch where you can enjoy the aroma of Brown’s Court Bakery
• Exposed 1850 fireplaces and original hardwood floors convey a sense of history
• A grand live oak tree at the back of the property, a grand sycamore tree at the front of the property with 12 palm trees, 5 eagleston hollies and a magnolia in between creates the sense of stepping from a bustling city into a garden oasis*

*Planting of additional trees (2 palms, magnolia, and eagleston hollies) as well as completion of bluestone courtyard at front of property to be completed in January. Will be done by February 1st, 2023.

Great House in a wonderful location

The house was perfect for our group of 4 couples. Plenty room for everyone. Beds were comfortable and everyone had their own bathroom. Having 2 sets of washers and dryers was great since we were heading to Savannah for a few days and were staying in a hotel there. We played dominos on the large table in the kitchenette. We had a WONDERFUL time and would highly recommend this lovely home. The owners were great too!!

Fantastic Charleston Location

Our group of seven girlfriends gathered to explore Charleston and celebrate some milestone birthdays. Miki and Chuck's home was the perfect location to enjoy everything that downtown Charleston has to offer.We appreciated being able to spread out across the two combined units, with ample bedrooms and bathrooms. The living area in the newer unit was nicely appointed and was very spacious and comfortable to relax and hang out after long days walking around the city. The kitchen provided all we needed to prepare coffee, drinks, and snacks (in between the bountiful offerings available at the many delicious cafes and restaurants just steps outside the door).The home is ideally located. Our trip was focused on downtown Charleston, so we didn't rent cars, but had no issue getting everywhere on foot, with King Street just a block away.Future guests should note that while the two units are integrated, the three bedrooms in the older section can only be accessed from inside via a narrow spiral staircase. Several of us opted to exclusively use the outside stairs to access the bedrooms in that section.

Fantastic Wedding HQ in Charleston

My family and I picked this house because it was close to my brother’s home. We were in town for a wedding and needed somewhere nearby with a number of bedrooms to accommodate 9 adults and our 3 kids. Check-in was a breeze. Place was spotless with a binder full of helpful information if we ever got stuck. Having two parking apots was very helpful with the size of our party and the trip we took to the beach, but you could easily do without a car. Quick access to King street restaurants and all of downtown Charleston just outside your door. There was one night where a karaoke party nearby kept our infant son up for a bit, but to be expected in a college town. 10/10 would absolutely stay in this beautiful home again!

About the host

Hosted by Miki and Chuck Waring

Host profile image
Miki and husband Chuck moved to the Charleston area 10 years ago. We both thoroughly enjoy spending time downtown and around the Charleston area.

Chuck is originally from Florida and Miki from West Virginia. Previously to moving to Charleston, they spent 20 years in the Washington, DC area. Miki in the health care marketing and management industry and Chuck in the printing and marketing solutions industry. Wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the Metro area and the colder weather, we chose Charleston!

Since moving here we have been involved with restoring , renovating and managing downtown properties.

We love walking around the city looking at the various architectual designs of historical buildings, eating at the amazing resturants, or taking in a festival or special event. On warm days you can find us on our boat with our two sons Ryan and Alec or at the beach. And of course, there are the Citadel football and basketball games. which we can't miss since Chuck was a graduate of the Citadel.

Why they chose this property

We fall deeper in love with Charleston every day and want you to experience the charm of the city while staying at St. Philip Place. Our renovation of this property was a labor of love and our goal was to transform it into a cozy comfortable home with modern appliances and comfort while still maintaining the historical Charleston feel.

What makes this property unique

If you like technology, our place offers a state of the art sound system and smart TV's compatible with airplay and video streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, HBO etc. We have also wired the unit with CAT 6 to provide more reliable, higher speed, and improved security for internet usage.
