This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. This apartment is located in the rear of the main home, giving it additional privacy while retaining its proximity to King St. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, standing seam copper roof, copper guttering, original moldings, plasterwork, old glass windows, and solid panel doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. It’s the real deal!
Awards:

-Winner of the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration.

Strategies to get the perfect Charleston area rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer months are high season in the Charleston area area. Booking your Charleston area vacation home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• In the Charleston area area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If not, call the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Charleston area beach you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.

• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
