| We had a wonderful long weekend in Charleston that was due in part to the fabulous accomodations at the carriage house. As two couples, we were all very comfortable and had plenty of privacy. The interior of the carriage house is beautifully restored and the outside spaces are landscaped perfectly to offer a private garden and patio in the middle of town. We really enjoyed our stay at the carriage house and would recommend it to others. |

| Wow! What an amazing transformation. I saw this historic property prior to its two year renovation and historic restoration. The owners didn't miss a trick. From the vaulted ceiling in the living area which makes the space so light and airy to the added convenience of laundry facilities, the comfortable furnishings, fabulous kitchen and beautiful bathrooms, and spacious welcoming bedrooms. It is simply outstanding. The location is perfect and after a day of exploring the wonders of Charleston how nice to come home to the lovely garden patio or the rockers on the porch with a glass of wine. It's simply the best at a bargain rate! Kudos to our wonderful host and hostess. |

| My husband and I loved our stay in Charleston, due in very large part to Kira and Dewey and their beautifully finished, private, spacious, extremely well appointed cottage. The location of the cottage is excellent, with very easy access to a fun (and easy to use) shuttle system that takes you all over town. (No need for a car, unless you want to explore outside the city.) Kira hit the nail on the head with her restaurant recommendations to us. We'll be back, and we wouldn't think to stay anywhere else. |

| Restored and beautifully modern! We enjoyed being able to walk to the Historic District and markets and be able to come "home" for breaks. Our English cousins enjoyed their stay also. And the little things were such a delight, like the fresh flowers, extra pillows, and small amounts of sugar, salt and pepper, provided in the kitchen. We would gladly do this again. |

This is a wonderful spot, a true oasis in downtown
Charleston that is close to, but not in the chaotic
center of, every place you would want to be. Kira
and Dewey, the charming couple who own the
place, and who are attentive but never intrusive,
have done a wonderful restoration. When you're not
out and about you'll enjoy being at home. The way
it's set up, you and your pet (if you bring one like I
did) will have plenty of privacy. I was kind of
worried about parking at first, not quite believing
that off-street parking was as easy as it was
cracked up to be, but they were right and I was
wrong. It couldn't have been easier or more
available. And if you're a total anal retentive, K&D
don't mind you parking in their driveway, if you
don't mind hassling with the gate. Bottom line:
Next time I go to Charleston this will be the first
place I try to book. Even more telling, when I move
to Charleston, as I plan to do, I will count Kira and
Dewey among my friends. |

The Carriage House is located within walking
distance of the Historic Urban Plantation of
Charleston, as well as the best shopping and
restaurants, Once we settled into the clean,
comfortable two bedrooms we were able to explore
the city of Charleston. One of my favorite walks is
down to the Battery to see Rainbow Row. On the
way back you could stop fore a latte or look for
antiques. The hosts who own the Carriage House
are most helpful in suggesting an excellent
restaurant for dinner or you could use the
barbeque in the yard to cook in. All in all we
LOVED this vacation rental. It is clean, comfortable
and exceptionally well located. |

| The carriage house is roomy, light and airy, and as comfortable as home. Great shower! The notebook full of restaurant menus and the local grocery discount card were a nice touch and much appreciated. The location is perfect .... easy access to shops, restaurants, historic churches, and the beaches. The live oaks lining Ann Street make for a beautiful vacation spot in the middle of the city. I highly recommended it for anyone visiting Charleston. |

| I recently spent 3 nights in the fantastic Ann Street cottage. There were three of us and we were more than comfortable in the cheerful cottage. We walked downtown every morning & it was an easy stroll. In the evening we would usually take an inexpensive rickshaw ride (wrong shoes to walk in). We also hit the beach in the afternoon (which was only about a 20 minute car ride away). I highly reccommend the Ann Street Cottage & hope to stay there again in the future. |

| This is the great home away from home we have been seeking for our trips to Charleston with our furry family members! Very convenient location. Walk to all downtown restaurants and shops. Spacious bedrooms provide enough room for the family to have their own space. 10 minute drive to beaches. Kira, Dewey & Bentley are just great! They are very accommodating and able to provide insights to activities and restaurants. We cannot wait for our next stay in this fabulous place! |

| Classy & charming! This house is perfect for family or friends, but plenty of room for privacy. Convenient to King and Market Street, where you can visit restaurants, shops, parks and the ambience of downtown Charleston. Yet, quite and confined for relaxing and enjoying the simple life. The Shower in the Master Bathroom....is ohhh so heavenly! |

| **5-stars** This the best place to stay in Charleston at any price, hands down. The owners have done an impressive job making the cottage a classy, comfortable showplace with all the comforts of home - with the added benefit of a superbly convenient location. It is easy walking distance to historic sites, museums, nightlife, restaurants, College of Charleston, everything. |

It's a great location in a quiet nice neighborhood!!!!!!!! |

| I'd start by indicating this will be my first choice for accommodations in future trips to Charleston. The 'cottage' is well equipped and the owners are close by but are not in the way. Laundry, a GREAT shower and living space makes this place so much nicer than a hotel downtown. Walking distance to so many venues downtown and to the College of Charleston. A ride over the bridge places me 10-15 minutes from beaches and golf. I’m reviewing my calendar as I type in an attempt to reserve the cottage again. Obviusly, I am please with my visit. |

| What a wonderful place! My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend at the end of March and were very comfortable. The cottage is clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It was also a very easy walk to most shops, restaurants and even the aquarium. Quiet location right next to all of the action. I am certain we'll stay here again in the future. |
