"Very clean and beautiful place. We had a few questions upon arrival, and they were so good at responding quickly! We would definitely stay again!"- Ashley
"My daughter and I stayed at The Carriage House at The Ashley during a stay for her Freshman Orientation at College of Charleston. The home's location is extremely convenient to the campus and the wonderful restaurants and shops that Charleston has to offer. The home's charm and character made for a very enjoyable and comfortable visit. Joshua is a wonderful host and took the time to communicate with us to ensure that we were taken care of and that we had all of the check-in information /key codes to ensure a smooth trip. We will definitely try to stay here again!"- Lara
"Great location, 20 minutes walk (or 5 minutes drive/e-bike ride) to the market, one block away from the MUSC campus. Clean and nice. Very responsive host. We will definitely stay again next time we're in Charleston."- Ugo
**BEDROOMS**
This stunning Charleston carriage home has two bedrooms upstairs and can sleep up to six guests comfortably. Both of these professionally decorated bedrooms have top-of-the-line King-sized beds, name-brand linens, ceiling fans, and a flat-screen TV. Each bedroom features beautiful hardwood floors, antique furniture and large windows that fill the space with sunlight.
Plenty of storage space means you can unpack and make yourself at home. A small fridge refrigerator is in each of the guest room for your convenience.
Additionally, there is a luxurious Queen Sized Sofa bed for any additional guests to utilize located in the living room of the Carriage House. If you need to get some work done during your stay, you’ll be happy to find a dedicated laptop-friendly workspace that is a comfortable place to sit down and be productive.
**BATHROOMS**
This beautiful home has two full bathrooms. They are attached to the two bedrooms upstairs. The modern bathrooms feature walk-in showers, bowl sinks, plenty of storage space, mirrored vanities, and hotel-quality towels.
**KITCHEN & LOUNGE**
The location of this historic cottage puts you just a short walk from some of the best restaurants in downtown Charleston. But on nights when you want to cook at home, the stylish and functional kitchenette gives you the space and appliances you need to do it comfortably.
The sleek black stone countertops, open shelves, and custom cabinets give a modern feel. You’ll find all the gadgets and appliances you need to reheat leftovers or make a quick bite, including a toaster oven, blender, and microwave. You can enjoy your meals in the downstairs bedroom area when the murphy bed is folded away.
The bright, open living room effortlessly blends classic southern charm with luxurious modern decor. The living room features a large sofa, two side tables with lamps, a club chair, a rectangular coffee table, a large wall mirror, and a flat-screen TV in the armoire.
Large windows fill the space with sunlight, and the comfortable vintage-inspired furniture gives everyone a comfortable place to unwind, read, watch movies, and plan their adventures for the day.
**OUTSIDE SPACE**
As a guest here, you have access to the shady front porch that looks out over the bustling city streets. Lounge on the outdoor lounge furniture with your favorite drink and enjoy the vibrant downtown vibes. The bright pink exterior and blue accents make the home a bold fixture in town, and a front porch is an excellent place for a family vacation photo.
Stairs lead from the porch down to a fire pit, and a pathway leads you right out to the historic streets of Downtown Charleston. Be sure to borrow one of the bikes available and enjoy exploring the countless popular eateries nearby.

The Neighborhood:
What do we love about this neighborhood? Everything!
Each house is unique. The culinary scene for which the Charleston has become so famous is just steps away. Xiao Bao Biscuit, 132 Spring, The Grocery, The Ordinary, Chez Nous, Cannon Green, and Fuel (from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) are all just around the corner - among countless others. The fantastic restaurants and nightlife of Upper King Street are close enough to walk but far enough to not keep you up all night.
Getting Around:
The DASH trolley is free in Charleston. There are 3 routes, and two of the routes have stops just 2 blocks from this property. More information can be found with the route map on the DASH website.
