Stunning Charleston Garden & Private Koi Pond

Elegant & Private: 1,000+ Sq Ft Charleston Garden Sanctuary

About This Rental: Immaculate, stand-alone cottage with 1,064 sq. ft. of pristine living space—significantly larger and cleaner than your typical Charleston rental.
Experience a standard of living rarely found in short-term stays. The Cottage at DuPont is a dedicated stand-alone home designed for travelers who value architectural style, absolute quiet, and "sparkling" cleanliness. Nestled in the historic DuPont neighborhood of West Ashley, you are just 4 miles from the Downtown Historic District while enjoying your own private park-like oasis.

The Space
Step into an expansive, airy floor plan defined by 10-foot ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors. Unlike cramped one-bedroom suites, this home offers:
The Massive Master Suite: A huge 22’ x 12’ retreat featuring two queen-size beds with high-quality linens—ideal for friends traveling together or couples who appreciate extra room.

Gourmet Kitchen: Fully equipped for extended stays with elegant marble countertops, high-end appliances and fresh ground coffee.

Spa-Like Bath & Laundry: A large, bright tiled bathroom accompanied by a private, full-size laundry room for your exclusive use.

The Garden Oasis
Your stay extends outdoors into a magical, private garden centered around a peaceful koi pond and waterfall. Relax by the water and meet our local "celebrities"—the friendly koi and Hoity Toity the turtle. It is the perfect setting for slow mornings and quiet evenings away from the downtown crowds.

"Cleaner Than Home"
We take immense pride in our maintenance. Guests consistently describe the cottage as "immaculate" and "the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed." Every stay is personally prepared with a "clean freak" level of detail to ensure a pristine environment.

The Neighborhood
Tucked away in the historic DuPont neighborhood, you are perfectly positioned to explore the best of the Lowcountry:

Downtown: 4 miles (5–10 mins) to the Charleston Historic District.

Nature: 2 blocks from the 10-mile West Ashley Greenway (walking/biking). Middleton Place, Magnolia Gardens Drayton Hall, McCleod Plantation, Charles Towne Landing, Old Towne Creek County Park and Caw Caw Nature Preserve and Interpretive Center are all within ten minutes drive of the Cottage.

Beaches: 20–30 mins to Folly Beach and Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms. Kiawah's Beackwalker Park is 30 minutes away.

Be sure to see our guidebook online and the printed version on the table in the Cottage.

Walkable Favorites: Just a short stroll to Wild Flour Bakery and Ciao Bella.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Citadel Mall. Laundry facilities are available. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and living room
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities

Perfect home base for getting around the Charleston area, just far enough from the downtown fray yet only a few miles in for when you want that downtown vibe. Spacious and clean upstairs unit with plenty of privacy, easy parking and easy access through the park-like yard. Good size bathroom with extra towels. Very large bedroom. Charlie and Rob are the warmest of hosts and super responsive. Great stay!

This is a top notch stay! Accommodations are the perfect blend of comfort, class, and elegance. The grounds are simply stunning. The hosts may be the friendliest we’ve ever met. Parking and ease of access is great, and thoughtful conveniences such as fresh ground coffee and a wine lending library made this one of the best stays ever!

AMAZING stay at private cottage

I would highly recommend this space to anyone visiting Charleston. It was even better than advertised- the space is perfect and private. The location is within reasonable driving distance from everything! Charlie’s backyard is a gorgeous oasis and makes this rental even better.

One week isn't enough

It's really hard to say which part we enjoyed the most about the Cottage at DuPont. The place was immaculately clean, and very well provisioned. It was the perfect distance from downtown. Not too close, not too far. The grounds surrounding the cottage are simply serene. I could have stared at the Koi pond for hours!! Just waiting for a glimpse of the elusive Toity was so relaxing!! I wish we had discovered Folly Beach earlier in the week, but that just means we'll need another trip.Our hosts, Charlie and Rob were very gracious, and a lot of fun to sit and chat with over a glass of wine. This was a terrific way to spend our anniversary week! There's so much to do and see in Charleston that another week or three would have been awesome!Thank you again Charlie and Rob. It was truly a memorable week!!

Gem of a place

The cottage was a wonderful place to stay! It was clean as could be, roomy, and extremely quiet. Charlie was a gracious and informative host who communicated with us in a timely and clear way. He’s also warm and friendly and readily invited us to join him and Rob on their porch at the end of the day. The apartment is nicely equipped, the beds are really comfortable, and the yard is spectacularly beautiful. We would happily stay there again if we ever return to Charleston. We highly recommend their place!

Enchanting and convenient

We just enjoyed a 5-night stay at this true oasis near downtown Charlestown. The apartment is even lovelier than in the images and the koi pond and garden are enchanting. Charlie and Rob were welcoming and very helpful with interesting suggestions for places to visit and dine. They are delightful to spend time with. We wish them well.
