About this Property

  • Sleeps 12
  • 5 Bedrooms
  • 6 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home
  • Approximately 2800 square feet

Upon entering the home you'll be delighted by the unique front door and know you have arrived somewhere special.

The first room to the left you will appreciate the library with a diverse collection of books, a huge dining table and a bar for afternoon drinks. Open the pocket doors and you will be in the parlor with one of seven fireplaces that are original to the home. Parlors are quintessential to Charleston homes for entertaining or afternoon tea.

Down the hall you will find a powder room, followed by a cozy kitchen, equipped with a dainty retro refrigerator, induction cooktop, kettle, toaster oven, and a 1940s era french sink. Savor your meals at the table for two while the sunlight filters in through the shaded garden walkway.

Across the hall is room No. 6 with a king bed and a place to hang your clothes in the rosy glow of the modern lamps. Positioned in the center of the home, this room is peaceful and calming. To freshen up, you will have your choice of a full bath appointed with a vintage claw foot tub across the hall or to the right there is a second bathroom with a shower.

At the end of the hall sits bedroom No. 8 that we refer to as the Garden Room. Cozy with a full sized bed, a shower, vanity, and fireplace. You will have access to a modest covered porch that enters into the enchanting and secluded garden. If visiting in the winter, don't forget to pick off some oranges from our tree shading the garden for your morning juice or beverage.

Lets go upstairs as we pass a reading nook with a adore seat tucked away at the bottom of the staircase.

At the top and to the right you'll see room No. 4 with two queen beds and a fireplace. The sizable windows and chic blue ceiling give this room a calming ambience. Next door there's a marbled floor bathroom with 1920s patina clawfoot tub to soak or shower. This alluring bathroom is ideal for primping at the enormous vanity and vintage stool.

Room No. 2 has twin beds and an exposed brick wall to ceiling fireplace, bringing warmth into this welcoming room for two.

Both of these rooms have access to the enclosed porch that travels the length of the building with a bench to sit and relax. Take the back door down to the garden but be careful on the outdoor stairway.

This home features two kitchens and the second one is upstairs, a galley featuring a full size refrigerator, retro apartment stove, dishwasher, and open shelving located on the exposed brick original to the home. There's bar seating around an industrial island, ideal for entertaining as the kitchen opens into a comfortable den with another fireplace.

Through the french doors you'll find the biggest and most handsome bedroom in the home. A king bed with a velvet settee at the foot, facing a fireplace. This room features storage for a long stay in the chifforobe and a delightful vanity. Glass doors open up onto a sleeping porch overlooking Society st. ideal for afternoon naps or appreciating Charleston's breezy evenings and the smell of magnolias. You'll find everything you need to relax and feel at home.

The "Ginger Lily" has been thoughtfully furnished with eclectic vintage pieces, funky artwork, and a collective of plants in neat pots throughout this home adding to this ideal Charleston hideaway.

How to get the best Charleston area vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Charleston area vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. 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 family and friends at the beach.
  • Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday 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 property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
  • Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

  • To start, have your family select dates and a budget.
  • Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Historic 1882 Home ~ Sleeps 12 ~ In The Heart Of Downtown Charleston has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the host before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
  • Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
  • Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

During your stay:

  • Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
  • Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
  • Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
  • Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
  • Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
