This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a refreshed dependency or a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. This is the real deal!

Saint Philip Square is an award-winning collection of 6 historic buildings with 17 striking units. Each unit offers unique features honoring the particular character of that unit. There are no cookie-cutter units, yet we’ve retained the highest standards of Saint Philip Square in design, materials, furnishings and onsite management. The grounds feature outdoor gardens with fountains, dining areas, fire pits and covered barbecues.

How to book the best Charleston area rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To get the best rental within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. A3 at StPhilipSquare, One Block to King, Spacious Historic Stay has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
