Great location in the historic area of Charleston. We were lucky to have found this. You have to go up and down stairs between the living room and the bedroom/bathroom. Those who are stair challenged should find another place.

The location is awesome. I love history and the setting is right out of the 1700's with a few modern up grades, perfect for two people that like to walk around town and be in the center of old Charleston. The host were very accommodating. We will defiantly return for another visit.

Great Location
Wonderful little cottage in south of Broad historic district. Small kitchen and sitting room with fireplace downstairs and bed and bathroom upstairs. Off street parking. The cottage was originally the kitchen for the main house. Lovely private garden and courtyard to sit and relax. Hosts live in main house, so they are available if you need anything.

Musty Living Conditions
Sadly, this is my first negative review of a vacation rental. However, others should be aware of the following. Upon entering our rental, we were shocked by the musty odor. During our 5 night stay, we ran the dehumidifier the entire time, emptying the full container of water twice a day. The dehumidifier filter was filthy, so my husband cleaned it. As our stay progressed, the air quality improved. Since I am sensitive to musty odors, I stayed out of the rental as much as possible. There were numerous other reasons for not recommending this rental, including dirty, uncomfortable furniture, dangerous staircase, dirty utensil drawer, etc. I do not understand how this property received so many ratings of 4 and 5. On the positive, this was a wonderful location. In addition, the rental included an enjoyable courtyard, which is where we spent our time when we were not sightseeing.

Best Hosts Evet
The Middleton’s are wonderful hosts. We checked in early and Mrs Middleton had muffins, fruit and a bottle of wine waiting for us. Our accommodations were fantastic. A part of history. The king size bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our wine in the courtyard. Also, we were right in the middle of everything but it was still quiet. And the off street parking was an added bonus. We loved our stay and our hosts!

Being a part of history!
We truly enjoyed our stay in this historic spot. The Middletons were delightful hosts and were happy to make sure we were well taken care of! Southern hospitality for sure! We were very interested in hearing the history of the property from Mr. Middleton. The location was perfect!!! Walking distance to everything. The free parking was also very convenient.

We enjoyed our stay in this kitchen quarter building and time in the courtyard as much as our walks through Charleston. It is part of the history. The location is excellent.

There is no better place to stay South of Broad if you're wanting to explore the city on foot, which I also highly recommend. This place is full of charm and history! It will make your stay so memorable, and Philip and Judy are extremely nice and accommodating. Will be returning!

Everything I could have wished for in visiting Charleston! Beautiful “kitchen house” in a quiet, sweet backyard with privacy but also direct access to our hosts. Gas fireplace, cute kitchen, oozing history and interest. Everything was walkable so we never had to used our car. Could not have found a better place to stay!
