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 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 included. The bathroom has Carrera tile, a shower tub, and all amenities. The water pressure is elegant. 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.
Everything in the kitchen is bespoke-constructed.

If you are serious about leasing the unit for Spoleto or anything else, it is necessary to contact me first.

Finding the best Charleston vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in Charleston. Book your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your family choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. HISTORIC DISTRICT-HarlestonVillage_SPOLETO SPECIAL- Condo-Easy Walk -30 Day Min has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially 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 fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
