Located on the second floor of a restored wood-fronted home in the heart of Charleston’s Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighbourhood, this home boasts an enviable position and charming interiors. Exposed trusses add an element of drama to the whitewashed living area and, thanks to its open concept, it’s also a lovely space in which to relax and spend quality time as a group. The crisp colour scheme continues into the bedrooms, where metal bed frames and unique side tables offer the only contrast to the otherwise pristine, white interiors. This home is close to the handsome streets of Historic Charleston (a 20-minute walk away) and Upper King Street sits just a few blocks away, offering an abundance of restaurants, bars and shops.

Rockfish

On a picturesque street of swaying palm trees sits this traditional Victorian home. Built in 1885, it has a square, symmetrical exterior, covered porches, high ceilings and exposed beams. Inside, however, the home has been brought bang up to date. A modern kitchen with moody cabinets set the tone for this family home, which casually blends past and present design styles. The living area is just big enough to comfortably seat its eight guests andthere's a wonderful outdoor porch. Upper King Street, with its wide selection of restaurants, bars and shops, is just one block away. Historic downtown Charleston is a little farther away but is no less accessible. Hop in a taxi to be there in moments or make the short twenty-minute walk to admire the city’s rich history.

Summer Duck

Neatly tucked away at the back of the lot, this picturesque home offers privacy from the main road. Even as you approach, you’ll be smitten with the Southern characteristics that define it. A porch swing invites guests to enjoy late nights on the verandah, while the lime green door adds a playful touch of colour. Inside, the exposed trusses serve as a reminder of the area’s rich history and with a gentle colour scheme of whites and beige, there’s a real sense of calm. The kitchen is fully equipped and four wishbone chairs line the bar, adding a modern touch to its traditional bones. But we know you didn’t come to Charleston just to stay indoors – even if the indoors are as charming as these ones. Lucky for you, you’re just one block from Upper King Street with its array of shops and restaurants, while Historic Charleston is less than a twenty-minute walk away.

Lime Green Wish

Sitting pretty halfway between Charleston and Mount Pleasant, this sophisticated hideaway is pure joy. From the moment you drive up and spot the vintage petrol pump out front, you fall under its charming spell. It's the ideal spot for a romantic escape, with local beaches, restaurants, breweries and parks to explore. And there's more than a nod to a Hamptons-style beach aesthetic here, with pure white walls and an ivory sofa in the living room, rattan accents, tropical houseplants and a driftwood ladder shelving unit, which all create an effortlessly cool, calming vibe. Splashes of blue add a welcome, nautical feel – reminding you that you're just moments from the sea. The kitchen has brand-new everything, and the stylish bathroom features a gigantic walk-in shower.  With a ten-minute drive to 'Station 18' Beach on Sullivan's Island, you can grab the home's cooler bag, beach chairs and towels ready for a day on the sand.

Pumped & In Love

Spanning two floors, this elegant home embraces its historic setting while offering 21st-century luxuries. Warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive, you'll find a whitewashed living area with contrasting window frames, dining chairs and accent tables. Upstairs, the serene bedrooms boast traditional characteristics that further the theme of championing past and present, with wooden beams, original hardwood floors and exposed brick fireplaces providing eye-catching charm in abundance. Outside, you'll find a beautiful shared garden and terrace where you can dine alfresco under ancient Charleston trees while you watch the sunset. If you decide to venture out, you’re just one block from Upper King Street with its wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

Checkered

It can sometimes be difficult to find a home for a big group getaway – the balance between communal spaces and private corners is always a tricky one, but this home definitely gets it right. Or perhaps we should say homes, as you'll find yourselves spread across two separate buildings, with a shared garden and courtyard between them. The impressive bedrooms allow you to shut the door, recharge your batteries and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet when you need to. Conversely, the large living rooms and, of course, the outdoor seating area provide plenty of room for parties and chatting into the night. The interiors are pleasingly minimalist, with hardwood floors and luxury furnishings giving the space an air of sophistication as well as comfort. Downtown Charleston is within easy walking distance – all its bars and restaurants are just a ten-minute stroll away, so heading out for dinner and drinks is as simple as walking down the street.


Ain't She Sweet

Just behind Upper King Street, this home benefits from a great location and plenty of peace and quiet. Part of a larger complex of homes, there is a lovely shared garden for residents to use, and with plenty of ancient trees, you won’t be running out of shady corners either. Inside, the home is a perfect example of southern style. Clean walls, bright whites and light fabrics create a living area that is perfect for hosting and entertaining in this warm climate. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide moments of solitude. You’re just a twenty-minute walk from Charleston’s historic downtown area; King Street, just one block from this home, buzzes with shops, restaurants and bars. If you fancy venturing out and exploring the area’s many beaches, Folly Beach is just a short drive away and offers endless stretches of golden sand.

Hominy

With its white clapboard exterior and powder-blue window shutters, this traditional home is the belle of the ball in Charleston. Step into a Southern scene of four-poster beds, floral wallpaper and palm prints in each of the bedrooms. While there is plenty of old-school charm in this townhouse, its recent refurbishment included some modern pops, like glamorous marble bathrooms with gold accents. In the living space, a kitchen, sofas and banquette seating are perfect for group debriefs after a long day. For a real taste of this part of the world, nab one of the wicker seats on the veranda for sundowners – preferably of the bourbon kind – before wandering a short distance to one of the city's famous restaurants or bars.

Swing Kings

Located just outside of Charleston's historic downtown area and close to the shops, restaurants and bars of King Street, this home is in an enviable position within the city. And just like its surroundings, the building itself is steeped in history. Built in 1885, it boasts picturesque porches, hardwood floors and a crisp colour scheme. The kitchen is eye-catching with its bright green cabinets, and offers a bold contrast to the elegant Art Deco-inspired living area. Our favourite element, however, is the veranda. No trip to the southern states is complete without at least some of the relaxation taking place on a traditional covered porch, and this home offers a charming one where you can sit and while away the hours with a cool drink. 

Square Dance

Welcome to small but charming Charleston, once again topping Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards. Whether you’re here to explore its colonial architecture, tuck into excellent Creole and BBQ food or savour the blossoming cocktail scene, you’re going to need somewhere to stay smack bang in the heart of the buzz. This home offers this plus elegantly designed spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and – best of all – en-suite shower rooms in al four bedrooms. The open-plan living and dining area is on the cosy side and ideal for a group of four to six guests, with plush grey sofas, velvet bar stools and a humming vintage-style ceiling fan for that quintessential Southern vibe.

Dixie Chic

Embracing past and present, as all Charleston homes should, a careful balance of contemporary southern living with traditional features gives this home an elegant feel. Featuring beautiful hardwood floors, exposed beams and customary shutters, you’ll feel grounded in this historic location. Of course, it wouldn’t be a true southern home without an enviable porch, fittingly adorned with beautiful rocking chairs, perfect for lazy summer nights. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the gracefully landscaped garden and terrace, shared with neighbours. Located just one block from Upper King Street, you’ll find an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants in the surrounding neighbourhood and Charleston's historic downtown area is just a twenty minute walk away. 

Southern Charm

This historic home has been beautifully brought to life by its Charleston-native hosts. Immediately you’re welcomed by the traditional panelled exterior, the polished beams and hardwood floors that run throughout. Then, you’re wowed by the luxurious stylish design details. There’s lots of space to spread out, with two cosy living and dining areas, both with their own kitchens. The master bedroom opens onto a first-floor porch, perfect for a quiet nightcap. And we love the vast, leafy courtyard garden, with plenty of seating and space to enjoy good weather. After you’ve made yourself at home, walk just one block to the eclectic Upper King street. Soak up its colourful, characterful buildings and discover some of Charleston’s best bars and restaurants.
