This space is ideal for 2023. Spread out on your private porch. No shared surfaces or spaces, complimentary parking and a supplied kitchen.

The apartment freshly underwent a full remodel. Measuring 1,000 square feet, the apartment offers three bedrooms each featuring premium linens and its own full bathroom with shower.

Stark, just down the block. Many of the city’s most notable eateries are located in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, or an simple walk from the rental.

We are a 5 min. walk to Upper King Street, so most guests prefer to walk and discover the city. The beach is 15 mins. away by car.

Bicycle units are available close by or you might appreciate trying a pedicab taxi. We offer complimentary parking on site or in the lot we manage across the street.

This apartment is on the lower level of the three-story property. The home features two additional 3 bed, 3 bath units on the first and second floors, which can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for bigger groups. Please inquire if interested. Absolutely no events or late-nighttime noise will be tolerated.

How to find the best Charleston area rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• To find the best value, consider changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing a perfectrental home:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Cozy English Basement Apartment w\/ Private Patio has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you book the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain Charleston area beach you crave, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
