About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Apartment
• Approximately 1274 square feet

One short block to historic downtown Charleston’s bustling King Street, our Carolopolis Award winning John Bulow House was build in the late 1800’s before undergoing a full remodel in 1996. Carefully marrying new with nostalgia, we lovingly maintained historic details while incorporating modern amenities.

With room for the family or group travelers, our second-floor A3 apartment features three bedrooms and two full baths. Enter through the gathering space featuring professional decor and, if of interest, a queen-sized couch bed.

The first bedroom homes a queen bed and connects to the living room but is afforded privacy with two locking double doors. The front bathroom maximizes modest space with a European shower complete with rain shower-head.

The second bedroom down the hall has a cavernous king bed with the third bedroom close by and its queen bed. The back two bedrooms are closest to the second bathroom with a roomy walk-in shower.

Step outside onto your impressive porch or appreciate an evening drink in our private, freshly revamped courtyard.

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

Reserve your Charleston area rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
