Charmingly Charleston is an attractively 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 savor living in Charleston like a local! Our impressive home away from home is a splendid 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 on Colonial Lake, near the Battery, the Ashley Marina, 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 Historic Market, Gibbes Museum, and the marvelous shopping & dining of King Street.

Savor Charleston's excellent 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 phenomenal rates, you can book for a month for the cost of two weeks in the event district!

Cancellation Policy
Please note, 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.

Before you book, we ask you to please make sure of your dates. In the past, when we had a 60-day cancellation policy, we had two different guests hold our home off the market for a year, during which we turned down other guests, only to have them cancel exactly 60-days before arrival. Since monthly renters have usually found their lodging at least 90 days out, we ended up with vacant months in both cases. This is when we changed our policy to “no refund”, as it was the only other option available on the platform. However, we know things happen and always want to work with our guests.
Our policy is pretty simple:
- Full refund if cancelled within 48 hours of booking and at least 28 days before check-in.
- Refund, less $1500, for cancellations made up to 3 months before check-in.
- After that, reservation is non-returnable. However, we will aggressively try to fill the dates, and we will refund you whatever amount we are able to collect through rebooking.

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

Tips to get the best Charleston area rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Charleston area area. Reserve your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefectrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Townhouse on Colonial Lake, Near the Battery, King Street, and the Marinas has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. text the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
