Charmingly Charleston is an charmingly located townhouse located across the street from Colonial Lake and Moultrie Park in downtown Charleston's Historic District. It is a ideal spot for visitors who want to really appreciate living in Charleston like a local! Our striking home away from home is a pretty place to rest your head while visiting Charleston for a month or longer.

Decorated in a quirky, casual Lowcountry theme, Charmingly Charleston offers two bedrooms, one and a half baths, living room, separate dining room, completely equipped kitchen, and laundry room. The primary bedroom is enormous with a walk-in closet and a queen-sized bed. The second bedroom is comfortable and has a day bed with trundle and a writing desk.

We are located South of Broad, on Colonial Lake, near the Battery, the Safe Harbor Marinas, and within walking or cycling distance of the Medical University of South Carolina and College of Charleston. A nice walk or pedi-cab ride away you will also find the City Market, Gibbes Museum, and the marvelous shopping & dining of King Street.

Appreciate Charleston's outstanding eateries, antique stores, historic and ghost walking tours, horse drawn carriages, tours of historic homes, harbor cruises, and the South Carolina Aquarium all close by!

It is also an painless commute to Boeing or a jaunt across the peninsula to Charleston Law School. Additionally you are just a short drive from five beaches, seven marinas, and more golf courses that I can recall.

Don't wait, just grab your toothbrush and come on!

Interested in staying longer? Ask me about our lease prices for three or more months that include housekeeping, Internet, and utilities.

Please note, that per Charleston's draconian ordinances, we are a monthly rental and do not rent by the nighttime. However, at these fantastic rates, you can book for a month for the cost of two weeks in the event district!

Cancellation Policy
We are not the Hilton, and when you make a reservation, we hold the space for you and turn away other guests so you will have this special place. People searching for monthly units usually book 6-12 months in advance, as such we are not able to offer “flexible” cancellations.

If you have any questions, please contact me. We appreciate hosting and sharing our city with others, and we hope to see you soon!

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home.
