We loved our stay at Southard Cottage for a quick family trip to Charleston. The location was perfect for walking to fun neighborhood spots and Stay Duvet included thoughtful touches to my our visit great.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, really enjoyed walking into the air conditioned living room, rooms and bathrooms were clean and neat, beds were comfortable. Would note that the bedroom on the right needs curtains because there are lights on outside the building that you cant control and they were shining bright all night long, there are curtains in the other room so please add these in for future guests in the 2nd bedroom.
Love this area of Charleston - walkable to tons of great restaurants and shops. The property was perfect for my group of 3 with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It had everything we needed!
We were in town for parents' weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You can walk everywhere! The beds were amazing, the bathrooms great—small but perfect, and each room had its own bath. The living room was a great size, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the little back yard was perfect for an evening glass of wine. This is a wonderful home, and we will be sure to stay here again.
Cozy cottage in a great location. Historic Charleston style property so you really get the feel of history. Neighborhood is full of good restaurants…a foodies delight. Short walk to King Street. Didn’t really need to use our car except on a couple of occasions
The property managers were informative, helpful, easy to contact and communicate with.
The property was clean and comfortable.
The beds were very comfortable.
We had an issue with some water, but the property managers were quick to respond.
Quiet location and worked well for us. Showers were great, but the rest of the bathroom, including the sink, are tiny FYI.
Walked everywhere. Highly recommend carriage ride to see the general area. Mesu was a really good restaurant with such unexpected cuisine.
Property was clean. Beds were comfortable. It was nice having two outdoor spaces - small porch near the front door and a seating area outside the back door.The house could use some fresh paint. The bathroom sinks (small) did not drain well.We had a difficult time with the TV since an account had been set up by a previous occupant. We figured out with some time spent doing so.Stay Duvet was very helpful with parking passes and answering any question that we had during our stay.There are some great restaurants in the area.
The property was pretty much as described, except for the parking. The listing had offstreet parking included however, when we arrived, we found it that was no longer the case. Parking passes for the street were delivered to us before we arrived, and that solution worked out fairly well. We enjoyed the amenities of the property, including a very well stocked kitchen. At a block and a half from King Street, we found the location to be very good. Mostly quiet at night. The host was very quick to respond.
We had a great stay. The house is in a great location, walkable to so many things. The shower got hot fast and the king bed was comfortable (we didn't use the second bed). Everything worked in the house and it was charming. We did not hear noise from King Street.The only negative was the parking. I booked this place because it had parking, but a few days before we were told we had to park on the street because of construction. We were given parking passes. Our last night we could not find a space for 45 minutes so that was a bit frustrating. So if parking is important you should check on this.
Perfect location. Walked everywhere except twice to the pickleball courts. Lovely place. Spotless. Only concern for us, because we are in our 70's, was stairs & bathrooms were upstairs. We would stay again. Extra bonus was the awesome entrance & backyard!

Very comfortable and felt like home
We enjoyed our visit to Charleston. It was great to be able to come back to a clean, comfortable, roomy house after a long day in the city. The beds were very comfortable!
Property was nice and updated and had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor seating area especially at night. Great location to walk Charleston. Master bath tiny but updated. We enjoyed our stay.
The house was as advertised. Clean and easily accessible to all the hot spots in Charleston. Host was communicative.

Great location, cozy space!
We loved this little carriage house. It was close to everything and spacious enough for our family of four! The pastry shop at the beginning of the driveway is a delicious bonus!!! Also appreciated the great parking spot!
Very smooth check in, the property had everything needed but the location here cannot be bested. A few blocks off king street, easy walks to a variety of local spots. Absolutely loved it.
