Staff was terrific, very down to earth and helpful. The setting is fairly serene, considering the location is right off of a very busy street. It's conveniently located, within walking distance to everything and very close to local supermarket...that's the good news. The staff doesn't have far to go to pick up the supermarket made muffins for breakfast. So if... More

We're not sure who this anonymous February guest is and do not understand these complaints. We have no complaints from guests brought to our attention during that time. It is important to us that our guests have good experiences here and we take great measures to provide that. We have many favorable reviews in our guest books from guests who... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Phoebe Pember House from Feb. 20th-23rd, 2012 after finding the establishment through Tripadvisor. I researched several B&B's in the historical "Peninsula" area of Charleston, and most were far more expensive than the P.P. House. I paid $125 per night ($135 - $10 AAA discount) which included breakfast served in my room each... More

We booked this b and b because it was sponsored by the retreat that we were attending. It was a charming property but it smelled horrible. It had the worst moth ball smell. When I asked the attendant the next day about the smell she said that it was not moth balls but just old. I know a moth ball... More

We stayed at the Phoebe Pember House Oct. 20-23. I will admit that after reading some of the reviews I was beginning to worry that I had made a bad choice. Well, let me set the record straight. We had an amazing experience! Before even arriving I spoke with Beth and asked if she could assist me with scheduling a... More

As most would agree...finding a B&B in Charleston S.C. on short notice is difficult. I was able to make arrangement at this facility. I needed to stay 2 nights, and was told I would have to switch rooms after the first evening...minor inconvenience. When we arrived, we were shown to a room that was....well, less than exemplary. This room was... More

We were in town to run the Cooper Bridge run. I attempted to find accommodations months out, but everything was booked. I was able to finally get a room here and was a little hesitant since it was so centrally located, but still had a room available. Well, from the minute we stepped on the grounds I felt pure relaxation!... More

And thank you, Tamika and Julie, for your sunshine dispositions and many kindness. We'll be back, for Charleston is too lovely a city to only see once. Much luck, and we hope to... More

The location of this b&b was pretty good for people who want to walk around the historic district and access restaurants and cultural events on foot. The history of this place is also enjoyable. But the current owners don't take being a b&b very seriously as the service, housekeeping, and certainly the breakfast needed improvement. We were two couples who... More

The Phoebe Pember House and carriage house is the treasure I have been searching for for over three years in my visits to Charleston. It is a wonderful place to stay—the privacy, the sitting room, the galley kitchen, and above all else the owner Carolyn and her staff. I have so enjoyed my stay here. I am able to visit... More

I had a wonderful opportunity to see many of the rooms. They are each unique with a calm and comfortable atmosphere. The B&B is well-located - just a few minutes from shops, restaurants, the weekend market, and many historic mansions. There's a grocery store right across the street (but no need for breakfast at a B&B!). Staff were knowledgeable and... More
