The story
Built in 1852. Hosted personally.
The piazza, the haint-blue ceiling, the chalkboard inside the front door that the previous owners wrote and we left. The bones are spectacular. The fig tree out front is real, and gave the house its name.
Cannonborough-Elliotborough is the only neighborhood in downtown Charleston where you can legally rent a private home short-term. Most of the food worth flying for is within a ten-minute walk. You can park when you arrive and not move the car until you leave.

We had a lovely stay. Thank you!
There are 5 of us that do a girls trip every year. We had so much fun in Charleston.
The pictures don't do justice. We were impressed with how much space we had.
Wonderful location. Clean, safe, quiet. Great time for our mother's birthday.
Walk-out checkout. Did not have to do a thing except leave. Best checkout ever.
We had a lovely two-night stay. The space was immaculate and had everything we needed.
