I find it necessary to reserve the right to ask for identification prior to reserving. I am now going from instant booking to a 24 hour period to ascertain that you can provide identification should that be necessary. I am aware that unlike Airbnb, Vacation Rental By Owner no longer vets their guests and it is up to the host.

We are one of very few licensed B&B South of Broad. This beautiful 1830 kitchen home is located in historic Charleston in the most charming "South of Broad" district. The location is peaceful and one block from the Charleston harbor and one half block from handsome White Point Gardens. It is within walking distance to eateries, shopping and entertainment.
The health and well-being of our guests is our top priority and we have implemented strict cleaning and disinfecting protocol to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19. Our cleaning team has deployed enhanced cleaning procedures, disinfecting all hard surfaces, spending additional time focusing efforts on cleaning and disinfecting “high-touch” contact points including but not limited to: doorknobs, locks, thermostats, light switches, fan pulls, stair railings, remotes, cabinet handles, and toilets.

A sizable first floor contains a living / dining area featuring two huge fireplaces. A galley kitchen features a Wolf range and hood, Subzero refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher and Carrera granite counters. The second floor offers a bedroom with queen bed, a refreshed hall bath, a comfortable den and a sunlit sunporch, ideal for a study or calming in the late afternoon. The third floor offers a master suite with a queen size bed, walk in closet, washer/ dryer and a handsome bathroom featuring a striking granite and glass shower.
We are located 20-30 mins. to 6 beaches. Appreciate a day at the beach.
Because of steps and the home is not kid proofed, kids under 3 are not allowed.
Off street parking for one (1) car is included. The driveway is rather narrow and should you not feel cozy navigating it, we will leave a parking pass for the street. No events are allowed. The courtyard is available from 9AM to 9PM.
Please note that we adhere to a strict 4:00 check in unless an early check in has been previously approved. We provide parking for one auto. The sleeper couch is not available for sleeping. Please note home rules before reserving. House rules are adhered to stringently and any infringement will vacate your stay without refund. We reserve the right to ask for identification prior to check in.

Our top Charleston rental booking tips:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Charleston area area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Charleston area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Charming South of Broad Kitchen House has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If not, contact the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
