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 gorgeous home away from home is a striking 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 huge 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.

Appreciate Charleston's magnificent 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 exceptional 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 adore hosting and sharing our city with others, and we hope to see you soon!

Tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Charleston area area. Book your rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Townhouse on Colonial Lake, Near the Battery, King Street, and the Marinas has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
