Spacious Private Suite, Steps to King - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

Summary:

The Kiawah Suite features a pretty three queen bedrooms and two baths, as well as a full kitchen and living space. Located on the 1st floor of a historic Charleston home constructed in the late 1800s, this suite overlooks Cannon Street's neighborhood & provides a true Charleston experience for guests. Walkable to MUSC, CofC, King Street’s most trendy retail and eateries, & more.



The Space:

The Kiawah Suite summons the essence of a really refined Antebellum Charleston experience, through really paired with every modern convenience. The kitchen is a timeless centerpiece, featuring a timeless La Cornue gas oven and cooktop from Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, France, complemented by a whisper-peaceful, American-made Vent-A-Hood. Guests are invited to celebrate Old World culinary traditions using top-of-the-line All-Clad cookware and glassware. Custom cabinetry, the kitchen island, and soaring eight-foot barn doors are handcrafted on-site from reclaimed heart pine, sourced during the home’s renovations.

Entertainment is seemlessly modern with a Samsung 4k Intelligent TV, offering complimentary access to Xfinity cable, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu.

Each bedroom is designed for rest, offering sound machines and intelligent charging stations, surrounded by cypress shiplap walls and centuries-old heart pine—much of it dating back to the early 1600’s.

All bathrooms are a masterful blend of history and luxury, tiled with original repurposed Vermont slate dating to 1851, when the home was constructed by shipwrights. Salvaged standing-seam tin from the original front porch roof forms a striking backsplash behind the hand-hammered, nickel-plated vessel sinks. Period-inspired water closets sourced from Kent, England complete the Old World aesthetic.

Outdoors, guests can embrace the Charleston tradition: calming on the porch and appreciating the coastal breeze. Rocking chairs overlook Cannon Street, while a private rear porch and patio offer additional space to relax, complete with a lounge couch and Acorn Bar-B-Que grille.

There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are very common. You will not face any delay catching an uber.



Other Things to Note:

We are three blocks from King Street, right in the middle of all Charlestonian activity. Incredible eateries such as Southbound, Verns, 167 Raw, Malagon, Indaco, and Azur. Great places to have drinks are even closer at places like Felix, Stars, Babas, and Prohibition. There are also great niche eateries closer than King Street, such as coastal Italian at Allora or creative Indian at Rivayat.

If you want the full Charleston experience, a walking tour or carriage tour is a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter daily and you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.
