To understand why this is “George’s Suite,” you must first know the history of The Nicholas. Henry Cobia, an early owner of the property, also owned slaves. During the 1830s, a male and female slave lived in a room on the third floor of the home along with their nine-year-old son. In 1843, due to financial difficulty, Cobia was forced to sell multiple of his slaves, which included the boy's parents. The next day, the little boy walked down to a dock on Charleston Bay and asked a man where his parents were taken. He was told that they had been transported to a ship that was currently docked in the middle of Charleston Harbor. Motivated by the hope that he might be reunited with his parents, the boy stole a rowboat and rowed in the direction of his parents' ship. All at once, the little boat capsized, and the boy drowned.

Guests have reported seeing the ghost of a little boy playing around the halls, then disappearing from sight. Former employees affectionately named him, George. Some may view this as unsettling and others may view it as alluring, but George reportedly just engages in harmless mischief that includes opening doors, rocking chairs and turning lights on and off. Most of the disturbances take the form of bed shaking or the radio turns on in the middle of the nighttime.

George’s King Suite occupies the top floor of The Nicholas overlooking Wentworth Street. This cavernous suite features a king-sized bed and private reading nook. The freshly remodeled bathroom features a enormous walk-in shower and posh luxury water fixtures and vanity. The room has all of the hotel’s original appeal and character with chic, modern upgrades and amenities that provide both function and elegance.

Please note, there is no elevator in the hotel.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Charleston area vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. To find the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental:

Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. The Nicholas George's King Suite- Walk to King has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the host before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
If there's a specific Charleston area destination you crave, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Tips for a fantastic stay:

Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. 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 fine dining?
Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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 wonderful stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
