20 South Battery

Amber Smith

I stayed here for a weekend as a kid in 1998 or '99 with my family. My stepmom was asked to house-sit for a teacher who lived here named Sarah. The bed & breakfast at the bottom wasnt in business, & I remember exploring the rooms all the way up to the attic where you will find a cobra head at the balcony looking over the rail. We swam in the pool in the back & everything. I sat in the green living room where a mess of books lined the walls & read from a book with the picture of the house on it that it was considered the most haunted house in charleston. Apparently Sarah has heard a piano being played from the inn but not much else. I will never forget how terrified I was those 2 nights trying to sleep in the a bedroom that had a distinct musty smell. Everytime im at the battery I look at the house & wonder why Sarah lived there & how its back in the hands of original relatives/owners? I always remember exploring the place & running the halls, feeling extra fancy. Its a cool memory of the home before it got back in business.

Everything about this place was outstanding. The location, the service, the rooms, the story behind the place...all incredible.

Absolutely adore this place! The house is gorgeous, the staff is so friendly and the location is unmatched. We received a house tour, local breakfast in bed and wine and cheese every night! We followed their list of recommended restaurants like the Bible and everywhere we went was 10/10! I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat and we will be back!

Absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful historic mansion. The property and location are stunning. The staff is accommodating and super helpful. There is so much more than meets the eye - the history behind this property is extensive and well represented in every room throughout the inn. I would highly recommend breakfast, enjoying a glass of wine and cheese plate in the ballroom and a coffee in the garden. Overall my stay here was lovely and I look forward to returning soon!
