8A at Saint Philip Square, One Block to King, Stylish Group Favorite

Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes spanning nearly one city block of downtown Charleston. The Alexander Wilson House at 178 Unit A Saint Philip St. is a 2-bed 2-bath gem blending modern comfort with Charleston’s rich history just one block from King St. Recognized with 5 Carolopolis Awards and the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration, this retreat offers a perfect location for families or groups seeking an authentic Charleston experience.

Bedroom 1:  Two queen beds, large ensuite bath, wainscoting with intricate carvings, beautiful ceiling plasterwork.
Bedroom 2: Queen size bed with private bathroom, natural light, delightful art.

Bathroom 1: Marble and tile bath, deluxe shower head, separate handheld shower, glass shower door.
Bathroom 2: Private bath with tub/shower combination, rain shower head, large floating vanity.

Kitchen: Fully stocked, combination Keurig drip / pod combination coffee maker, all the small electronic gadgets.

Living Area: Bright with lots of natural light, sleeper sofa, and open to the kitchen.

- Landscaped parking for 1 vehicle.

This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It's the real deal!

Offsite Resort Amenities:
- Access to The Wonderer, an exclusive adult-only resort downtown Charleston 2.6 miles away from Saint Philip Square (guests 25+ only; no one under 21 permitted at the pool).
- Olympic-sized heated pool (cabana rentals available).
- Gym and fitness classes (additional charges apply).
- Onsite bars, restaurant, and workspaces.
- Note: The Wonderer is a separate entity, and availability may vary. Book in advance for guaranteed access.

St. Philip Square offers a city block of historic elegance right in the heart of Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough district. Just one block to King Street, walkable to Charleston’s world renowned dining, attractions and shopping along King Street.
Earning 5 esteemed awards from The Preservation Society of Charleston for historic reservation, our accommodations blend new with nostalgia - each boasting unique charm and character.

House Rules:
- No parties or events without written approval
- No amplified music.

Charleston

Wonderful home away from home! Great base camp to enjoy Charleston, the nicest city in the US! Nice details like a throw for a chilly evening on the great porch. Very comfy beds and linens. Nice amenities like the fire pit area and parking. The neighbor hood has a great coffee shop but can get a bit loud on the weekends. All in all- a very good experience!

gorgeous property and great location

We absolutely loved this property! It was spacious, beautifully decorated, well stocked and very clean. The location was perfect -- easy to get downtown, easy to get to Mt. Pleasant and elsewhere -- and the area felt very safe and walkable. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. We couldn't recommend it more highly!

We loved this unit. Perfect for our family of five. Great to walk to King Street. So helpful to have designated parking, as many options we considered didn't. Owner was responsive to the one question we had while there. We would definitely return!

Girls Trip

My 4 friends and I stayed here for a long weekend. The house was beautiful and clean. The linens and towels were great, tons of awesome small details (nice soap in bathrooms, sound machines in each room, etc). Jamie and her staff were super friendly and very accommodating, we saw them around the property often. Outside street was a little noisy, especially on Saturday night, but as mentioned above, sound machines in each room definitely helped and it’s a trade-off that I’m more than ok with for the great location and awesome place.

Home in the Heart of the City

Philip Square is unique, perfectly located and all around wonderful! The “apartment” had everything needed to relax and also entertain our local Charleston family. The property was beautifully decorated for Christmas holidays (the thoughtful and gracious property manager offered us a Christmas tree for the living room which we asked be placed on the porch.) The location allowed us to walk to all the restaurants and shops on King Street and to hear the church bells and sounds of the city. We look forward to booking again

Hidden Gem in the Holy City

Located just one block away from the Charleston's rave-worthy resturants and shops on King Street, the property is nested in the quaint Cannonborough/Elliotborough neighborhood. The apartment holds charm and character along with modern ammenities. Beautiful and well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Well furinshed with cozy and comfy finishes and plenty of room. While the property is located within walking distance from all the historic sights of the peninsula, private parking is a plus. Prompt and pleasant property management. Would recommned and will stay again!

Perfect!

The property was perfect for our Charleston visit. It was accurately represented online. The apartment was clean with high quality beds and linens. It was very tastefully decorated as well. We loved the large front porch. The location is ideal. We were able to walk the entire downtown. Many excellent restauarants are very close. We had trouble connecting to the internenet at first and Jamie responded immediately. Checking in and checking out were extremely easy. We would certainly stay here again.

Extremely disappointed!

Nice place but the noise from the street was almost 24 hours a day. Construction on the property directly next door started before 8 am combined with the street noise it was almost unbearable! There is also a fire station around the corner! We heard fire trucks probably 5 or 6 times at all times of the day in the 3 days we were there. This property currently is not suitable for guests due to the constant noise. We were very disappointed.

Lovely Property, Interesting Attitude

This property is laid out very strangely with two queen beds in one room and a double bed in another. We were traveling with another couple and they could not stay with us because of the layout. There also was a small issue with construction beginning upstairs in another unit at 7:00 am 2 out of our 3 mornings. They proceeded to loudly talk on the veranda outside our windows for about an hour. They also had a man wash our windows WHILE we were there without consulting us. It was an interesting way to treat paying guests.
