Photos and Description of the Charleston vacation condo rental
1-Bedroom 1-Bath Overlooking Historic King Street

Elegantly designed and decorated by architect-interior designer duo to make your Charleston stay glamorous and exclusive. The Living Room's wall-to-wall windows open directly onto King Street. Remote control gently opens luminette shades unveiling the finest street historic Charleston has to offer.

Some have described this pied-a-terre as 'worthy of a photo shoot by a home design magazine.'

Want to be pampered? Why settle for anything less when you're in South Carolina's most historic and richly romantic city?

About Bob & Debbie Lowrey

Architect/Interior Designer duo specializing in re-purposing properties in great American destination cities.

Bob & Debbie Lowrey purchased this condo in 2005
Why Bob & Debbie Lowrey chose Charleston

The temperate month of April on King Street with hundreds of people shopping, sightseeing, milling around, taking in the sights of 18th century architecture, and the 'buzz' of the city, sold us on this historic location. We can peer through our window at passersby (unnoticed)...great for people watching!

What makes this condo unique

Centrally located directly overlooking King Street. This condo has unmatched metropolitan decor. Book this condo if you want to pamper yourself and 'get away from it all.'

King Street is historic Charleston's shopping destination. The condo is located on middle King Street (known as the Fashion District) between Calhoun & George Streets. Clothing boutiques and designer shoe stores begin only a few doors down. Williams-Sonoma's new Charleston location is 1/2 block north, and Pottery Barn is 1/2 block south of the condo entrance. The condo is 1-1/2 blocks from Marion Square (Farmer's Market).

---------

Besides the history, besides the shopping, there is always a 'buzz' of activity on King Street. Second Sunday (when only pedestrian traffic is allowed) restaurants place tables in the street, diners enjoy eating outside and people mill about--just a wonderful, festive atmosphere...and you can see it all from our condo.

The location was perfect to walk around the core area of Charleston and convenient to restaurants and historical side trips. The condo had all the most up to date amenities and was spotless. We had a car and did travel to play golf and also drove to Kiawah Island to have lunch at the Ocean Course. Beautiful. Great walkable restaurant recommendations from the owner Bob that helped us to enjoy our five day stay. Definitely recommend this property. Cheers

Home away from home!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful pied-a-terre for 5 nights. It is beautifully decorated and has all the comforts of home! I got to experience this as soon as I started to unpack and discovered that a beauty product had exploded in my luggage. I was able to use the washer/dryer combo (such a nifty little appliance) and luckily saved my clothing from ruin! This condo is gorgeous and elegant but still homey! All of my friends, who were staying in various B&Bs, were quite envious. One said he felt like he was in a luxurious Vegas hotel and another was so in love with the couch that he wanted to move in! Everything you could possibly need is provided from the aforementioned washing machine to dishes for entertaining or cooking to a pretty encompassing DVD collection for those lazy afternoons. The location is perfect as King street is the place to be! Shopping, great restaurants, and fun people to watch are literally right outside the door. I didn't have a car and other than catching a ride to the wedding I was in town for, I never needed one! I even strolled down to White Point Garden in about half a hour and with all the activity and beautiful homes along the way, I enjoyed every step! The owners were very responsive and easy to work with during the booking process as well as after my stay. I never had need to contact them during my stay but they did provide contact information so I knew they were available if necessary. The condo is secured with a keypad entrance to the building as well as another to the door of the condo so I always felt safe. I was concerned about noise from the street level and you can hear some at night from the living area but the bedroom is situated at the back of the condo and this light sleeper was never awoken by any external noise! There were also lots of little touches in this condo that I enjoyed...remote controlled lighting, an amazing shower, a cute little Keurig to make my morning coffee and a notebook from the owners giving the history of their pied-a-terre and how to use all the gadgets! I can't say enough about the comfort and beauty of this place!!!

I encourage anyone who wants a unique Charleston experience to book this pied-a-terre...it is truly a home away from home!
