This is the real deal: part of the original Rowland Rugely tract of 1769, this historic gem, constructed in 1835, is located in pretty Saint Philip Square. Originally the home of an important community member in an modren neighborhood, this grand home features sizable open fireplaces, impressive mantles, tall ceilings, original heart pine floor, a graceful central stairway, cavernous rooms, solid wood panel doors, period wood trim, charming plaster cornices, exterior gas lanterns, and fine architectural proportions.

This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a remodeled dependency or a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. As an integral part of Saint Philip Square, this award-winning historic building has been meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. The grounds feature seventeen unique units and five special outdoor garden areas, complete with fountains, dining areas, fire pits, and covered barbecues. In the evening, this getaway is elegantly illuminated, ideal for nightcaps after a day of exploring.
Your unit at Saint Philip Square features a marvelous piazza with comfortable seating and dining furnishings, ideal for socializing with your travel partners or for a restful break between city adventures. Our property shares a common border with Charleston’s famed King Street, acclaimed for shopping, dining, and entertainment. You are as close as it gets to King Street. With a enormous, on-site, walled-in lot, you can rest assured your car is close by during your stay. Our local, on-site team is dedicated to ensuring your experience is as meaningful as it is memorable.

How to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Book your Charleston area vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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 June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation home in the Charleston area area:

• Select your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. 176 A St Philip Square has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
