There's simply nothing else like it in Charleston!

300 yards down a private road and you're in the middle of the elegant marsh. Just you, dolphins, birds, the occasional kayaker...and of course this big sailing yacht.

The three well-appointed cabins, two bathrooms, a living area, and a modern galley, provide a comfortable stay, to be sure....but who's staying inside when you can spend time on the sizable dock - calming with a good book, grilling out, swimming with the dolphins, paddleboarding, kayaking, or even fishing one of the best spots in town!

This Blue Water Yacht spent most of its life sailing between California and Alaska, although she's been around the world twice. Her classic teak woodwork, comfortable layout, and modern amenities make for the ideal stationary hideaway on the water.

Oh...did I mention you get to name her? That's right, we've painted the back of her hull with chalkboard paint, and we provide the chalk. So have a little fun and come up with a cool name!

The Yacht is on a very secluded dock just off the Folly River. This heaven is all yours for your entire stay. You can relax in the hammock or sit at the picnic table on the huge pierhead overlooking the marsh. You can take one of the kayaks (we have 2 singles and 1 double) and paddle through the marsh exploring, go swimming, or try your luck fishing or crabbing from the dock. You can also appreciate a gorgeous sunrise and sunset - relax in the chairs on the dock, or up on the pierhead where you will always find a cool breeze.

There are other places you can stay while you're in Charleston, but none of them are like this. You will be staying three football fields away from the nearest home. Just a mile from a grocery store, liquor store, and even a Chinese place - but you won't even think about that stuff, because you're in the middle of a splendid marsh appreciating the outdoor adventure you always dreamed about.

It is definitely fine to invite guests to the dock to hang out while you're here. However, it is not fine to have a big event. You are also not allowed to just add additional people (over the 5 people you can book) to stay overnight unless you check with us in advance. You are welcome to trailer your personal boat down and put it in the water next to the dock (we have a ramp) then dock it on the same dock if you like. That makes it pretty simple to get up in the morning and go fishing. :)

We have spent over two years building this paradise on the water. We like to think we've created a unique place for people to relax and savor nature - and judging from the reviews, the people who have spent time with us agree!

Charleston area vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to book a Charleston area rental & When to go:

Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summer is the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. To book the best rental within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home in the Charleston area area:

To start, have your family decide on trip dates and a max budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 60' Sailing Yacht on a Private Dock has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
If there's a specific Charleston area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
