Located half a block off King Street and BRAND NEW TO THE RENTAL MARKET, constructed in 1882 Josephine's Apartment has retained all her appeal and with an address in the heart of the city, it is walking access to the best shopping in Charleston. Josespine's is a hidden gem located on Society st with double front porches and a giant magical tree in the front courtyard!

A white picket fence marks the address adding ambiance and privacy to the double porches. 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 savor the library with a diverse collection of books, a enormous 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.

Appreciate 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 drink.

Josephine's apartment 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.

Charleston rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• To get the best value, try shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Josephine's Garden Apartment Steps From King St. In A Neatly Renovated 1882 Home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, call the host before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Charleston area beach you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
