Recent Downtown Charleston guest reviews

From the moment we arrived, this charming cottage felt like home. The beautifully designed interior instantly set the tone—stylish, thoughtfully appointed, and immaculately clean. Location-wise, it couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Tucked away in a quiet spot, yet just steps from all the downtown action—dining, shopping, and sightseeing all within easy reach. Whether we were out exploring or enjoying a slow morning on the deck, the balance between tranquility and convenience was spot-on. We especially loved Leon’s, Renzo’s, Little Jacks and Welton’s tiny bake shop - all just a quick walk away. Every detail felt considered: linens, amenities, and that “like-new” freshness that makes a place feel special. It was clear the hosts and Vacasa team care about guest experience. If you’re looking for a Charleston retreat, I can’t recommend this sweet spot enough.

Lived everything about this place…located in a great street Anna central to everything. Place was bigger than it looked in the pictures and we would definately stay there again.

We planned this trip as a birthday girls trip with my friend and our teen daughters. It was a perfect location, central to everything historic Charleston has to offer and a great place to rest after a long day of exploring, shopping and beaching! It was very comfortable for us and a beautiful space. The only snag we ran into was where to keep our bags the last day between checkout and when we had to go to the airport but after a quick text to the VACASA team we were connected with the Charleston Bag Valet and that worked perfectly! My only suggestion would be to share that information in the binder or welcome emails and to maybe give a little more instruction on where to enter to get to the room as it’s a pretty good sized property.
