About this property
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.

This cottage is outstanding and the grounds are wonderful! The location is great and very convenient to the city. Many key attractions easily within 20 minutes to half hour.
The cottage was very spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. It's a great location for those with a car--close to Downtown and the airport. Our hosts gave us wonderful recommendations on sights to see and restaurants to try. Their back yard is an amazing refuge!
This was the perfect Thanksgiving getaway. The cottage was immaculate. Charlie was home and greeted us upon arrival. The location is central to everything Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms. We could not have had a better time. Thanks so very much to Charlie and Rob! We hope to be back soon!
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.
From the warm hospitality to the charming cottage and beautiful gardens We were IMPRESSED with every detail and HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here! Thank you so much Charlie and Rob!
Best VRBO ever! Cleanliness, comfort, location and hosts were exceptional. Charlie and Ron were welcoming and helpful with recommendations. The garden was a plus!
A private apartment in a beautiful garden just 20 minutes from downtown Charleston and the airport. The hosts are charming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Please just be aware you are on the second floor for carrying luggage.We would return anytime we’re in Charleston!
My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay at this VRBO.We had plenty of room, the property was pristine and everything we saw in the pictures matched what we experienced during our stay. Thanks Charlie and Rob for a lovely time at your property.Matt and Evelyn, Chicago IL
We had a wonderful stay and the cottage was great for our needs throughout the weekend. Both Charlie and Rob are great hosts and we enjoyed their company throughout our stay. They provided great restaurant, museum and day trip suggestions. We hope to return again!

This was our first time in Charleston and this property exceeded our expectations! It was very clean and provided all of the amenities that we could need. It was well kept and overall beautiful! The owners were also very welcoming and provided lots of fun recommendations to do around the area. We would definitely stay here again.
Charlie and Rob are the most gracious hosts. Every amenity was provided, which is much more than other places which we have stayed. We loved the cottage as well as the grounds, especially the Koi pond. We hope to be returning in the future.
The owners took great care in creating a lovely, comfortable place to stay. The grounds were a gorgeous display of trees, flowers and amazing landscaping around pond full of “friends.” A wonderful place to stay created by kind, warm people.
We had a wonderful time at Charlie and Rob’s cottage. The apartment was beautifully decorated, comfortable and quiet. The garden is worth the stay on it’s own. Charlie provided a lengthy list of places to eat and visit which was very helpful. We hope to return and will definitely stay at the cottage.
We spent a week at Rob and Charlie's incredible carriage house on a park-like property in West Ashley. We had a rental car and loved the quiet location close to downtown Charleston but also close to historic sites like Middleton Place. Charlie and Rob were amazing hosts....so welcoming, gracious and helpful. The apartment is clean, spacious and tastfully decorated with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. I definitely recommend this rental!
This place could not have been more perfect. The cottage is very cute and the garden is just amazing. You can tell Charlie and Rob put in a lot of effort with the property and they were great hosts as well! Would absolutely stay here again.
This place is really quite exceptional. It is a very roomy comfortable place. The hosts couldn't be more inviting. It has a beautiful yard with a swing and koi pond. Definently would be our first choice if we return to Charleston.
It is a lovely cottage behind the main house. The gardens are gorgeous with a koi pond. The cottage is very clean & comfortable with everything you need.
If you’re planning a stay in the Charleston area, we highly recommend staying here! It’s 15 minutes from the airport and only a 20-30 minute drive from some of the must-see locations, such as the aquarium, famous plantations, Fort Sumter Visitor Center and close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Our hosts were cordial and welcoming, and the home was in pristine condition. Charleston is a lovely city with so much history. Make sure you take one of the horse-drawn carriage tours!
So grateful to Charlie and Rob for creating a beautiful space in such a warm and welcoming environment. From the sweet Koi Pond to the cottage itself, they thought of everything that a guest would need for comfort. It’s rare to find a VRBO and owners as dedicated and kind as this one. Thank you both!!
Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday weekend retreat! My husband picked the perfect spot – cozy, clean, and so serene. The koi pond was such a peaceful touch, and our hosts, Charlie and Rob, welcomed us with open arms, making us feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back
Charlie and Rob have created a beautiful oasis of calm and comfort in West Ashley, (Charleston). The loft itself is wonderfully appointed and tastefully designed. The freshly ground coffee was delicious, as was the choice of wines, already in the wine rack. Our hosts were delightful company; relaxing with them at the koi pond was the perfect way to wind down after a long day exploring downtown Charleston. We loved their suggestions for restaurants and historic sites.Highly recommended!!
