Old-Fashioned Twist

While the traditional white clapboard exterior harks back to Charleston's old-world charm, the interiors blend 1920's coastal cool with modern furnishings to create a chilled-out, homely feel. We particularly love the wood floors and single-hung windows that shape the light-filled, open-plan living space, while the leather brown sofa, macramé adornments and artistic lighting will instantly put you at ease. Cleverly designed spaces mean you'll find dedicated home office spaces for those keeping an eye on work, while the en-suite bathrooms add that level of luxury.

But as much as we adore the welcoming interiors, it's the covered porch and beautiful private garden that really caught our eye. Gather together for a Southern feast or a game of cards at the wooden dining table, overlooking this quiet Cannonborough Elliotborough neighbourhood. Embrace the slower pace of life here and enjoy a gentle stroll into Charleston's French Quarter, just a block away from home. For those after a fun-filled day down along the coast, Folly Beach is also easily reachable in just twenty minutes by car.
