Reader's Note: You have to stay with me on this. The following description contains a lot of truthful snark, so don't be put off by it.

This Condomium, APT C is "fresh" to the market. It is on the second floor of a 120-year-old former Charleston single home that has been architecturally restored and maintained by the owner-manager, a Charleston native. A minimum 30-day lease must be signed. Options to extend the lease may be considered and will depend on circumstances and availability. You are NOT required to be in residence during your lease time.

From 82 Rutledge Avenue, you can walk to the Medical, Business, and other Historic Districts. The College of Charleston is less than a 10-min. walk. Within a 2-—to 3-block area, there are friendly, untouristed neighborhood eateries.

The property has a curated garden and an old English brick patio for your enjoyment.
Parking is available in the back lot, on the street, and in close by tons. It is supplied. Since this is Charleston, on-property parking cannot accommodate sizable SUVs such as Yukons, Escalades, or F-150s. Please contact us to determine your parking needs if you plan to bring a car. Charleston streets were designed for horses and carriages, not armored personnel carriers. Parking is problematic in Charleston; I did not create it.


The resident manager is on-site and provides you with biased and jaundiced site-seeing, touring, and dining recommendations to further enhance your stay.

Apt C has been completely restored to keep its legacy features but has had significant modern upgrades, which will be detailed below. The porch, old English brick patio, and expertly curated gardens are for your enjoyment.

As mentioned earlier, APT C is on the 2nd floor of the main building at 82 Rutledge Avenue. There are 2 separate stairs. The spiral staircase leads to the 2nd-floor porch with a door to the living room. The second leads from the street through the side garden to an exterior landing with a security door. Upon entry from the security door, there is a set of stairs with an intervening landing, which leads to the hallway door of Apt C. The stairs are safe but not necessarily ADA-compliant. There is no elevator. Luggage assistance is available.

The entire unit has refinished wood floors, adjustable ceiling fans, adjustable LEDs,
calm colors, period piece furnishings, double pane.

The master bedroom with a king-size bed is pretty and appointed with a chest of drawers end tables, and a writing desk. The windows allow the room to be filled with light, and the black-out drapes assure a good nighttime's sleep. All windows are double-paned. An adjacent closet room with hang-up closets, bespoke-constructed cabinetry for clothes, and room for suitcases storage.

The living room has comfortable period pieces that are well illustrated in the photographs. There is TV with cable access. Complementary 5G Wi-Fi is located throughout the unit, and USB jacks are also supplied. The bathroom has Carrera tile, a shower tub, and all amenities. The water pressure is magnificant. The TV is not significant. However, the TV is intelligent and connected. You will be basically on your own to navigate, 'cause I ain't crapping w/it." There is 5g complimentary secure wifi to "stream" to your heart's content. You are in Charleston, so you can pass up on ESPN, HGTV, MSNBC, FOX, etc.

The kitchen has been bespoke-constructed. All appliances are new. There is a washer and dryer in this area. There is a bespoke-constructed mahogany table in the kitchen area. The kitchen is entirely supplied. and ready for you to prepare any meal you wish.
Everything in the kitchen is bespoke-constructed.

Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Find your best deal:

• Summertime is high season in Charleston. To find the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. HISTORIC DISTRICT-HarlestonVillage_SPOLETO SPECIAL- Condo-Easy Walk -30 Day Min has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
