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

This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a modernized 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 gorgeously illuminated, ideal for nightcaps after a day of exploring.
Your unit at Saint Philip Square features a amazing 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.

Tricks and tips to get the very best Charleston area vacation rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in Charleston. To get the best value, try shifting your family's Charleston area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. 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 property manager whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Exceptional historic gem 1 block to King Secluded gardens and outdoor spaces 6A has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
