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 entirely 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 impressive 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 bags 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 completely outfitted. and ready for you to prepare any meal you wish.

Our top Rental home tips:

Getting the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Charleston. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. HISTORIC DISTRICT-HarlestonVillage_SPOLETO SPECIAL- Condo-Easy Walk -30 Day Min has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Charleston area beach you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home.
