Constructed in the 1890s and located in a prime location near the heart of downtown Charleston, this historic first-floor hideaway is the ideal home away from home for your next escapade in Charleston! With 1,500 square feet of comfort and convenience, you'll find plenty of space and two full bathrooms. This home is ideal for a weekend hideaway or family gathering. If you choose to entertain at home for lunch or dinner, let the full kitchen inspire you to prepare lazy brunches and get togethers with friends.

This hideaway is conveniently located in Charleston's Historic Cannonborough-Elliottborough Neighborhood, a safe neighborhood where guests can walk around at any time of the day without any concerns. There are a lot of students in the area as the home is close to the Medical University of South Carolina. Even though you have a entirely equipped kitchen at home, being surrounded by impressive dining options is a clear temptation and there's no one to blame! A must-visit while in Charleston is The Battery, a jaw-dropping promenade that is the ideal spot for a calming walk and gives you the opportunity to admire impressive homes and Southern-style mansions. One-and-a-half miles away is the Historic Charleston City Market, the ideal place to experience the southern appeal that Charleston is known for.

Tips to get the optimal Charleston area rental home experience:

Get the best value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and picking your prefectrental home:

• Select dates and budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Historic downstairs home in downtown Charleston w\/free WiFi - perfect for groups has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
