The beautiful historic mansion is a must visit! The staff are lovely and we really enjoyed our trip! The garden in the back is magical and the location is perfect for a walk by the water!

I just love this location. Easy walk to shops while staying in the most historical part of the city. Rooms are beautiful as is the entire hotel. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was excellent in helping choose restaurants etc. Definitely will stay here again when in Charleston.

This is a beautiful old mansion in the historic district. The location is great but it’s the staff and their true southern hospitality that made our experience here exceptional!! We were greeted with a tour and a wonderful evening charcuterie. Our room was large, clean and so comfortable!! Special shoutout to Richard for being such an amazing host! We would 100% stay here again!!

If you want to stay in a guest house full of beautiful antiques then look no further. The interior design of the bedrooms is very well done. It was a shame there was a TV crew filming while we were there as it prevented us from being in the main house so breakfast was in our room. Gardens are lovely. Location is about a 20 minute walk into town but you get to walk through an amazing district.

We lived in luxury for a night at 20 South Battery for our anniversary! From the moment we walked in the gates, I was in LOVE with the mansion. The staff met us at the door, got us all checked in and took us up to our room. We stayed in the Simonds suite, and we were obsessed! The beautiful antiques and furniture throughout the mansion was unbelievable. We had chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne on ice waiting in our room. All the little details made our experience amazing! We even had 2 Charleston chews left with our welcome note 😍 We had breakfast brought to our door the next morning and it was so nice not having to leave the room! From the views, to the lovely mansion, to the amazing staff-it is so worth the stay! This place is a literal DREAM, and we cannot wait to go back next year!

We loved this property for many reasons. All the staff we encountered, Abigail, Mike, Ryan and Molly were extremely gracious, helpful and professional. Our room was ground floor in the carriage house attached to the main house. Rooms 1 and 2 was a suite. We each had a bathroom and separate closets as well. The antique four poster bed was large and comfortable. Our room opened onto the large and very quiet back garden. The property is filled with fine genuine antiques befitting a home of its kind. The house’s history is typical of many of Charleston’s historic properties. We enjoyed our breakfast every morning but never attended the afternoon socials as we always had dinner reservations. All in all we considered it a privilege to be able to reside in this special location right on the Battery in Old Charleston. We are very grateful that Dr. Schaeffer bought and restored this fine place to share with those of us who truly appreciate the opportunity to experience Charleston’s delightful culture and past first hand.
