Description and History :
174 A Saint Philip Street, Unit 4 - The John Bulow House

The land (lot 33) on which this remarkable building was constructed was acquired by John Jochim Bulow in 1834 from the Rowland Rugely estate.  Bulow, a prosperous merchant and planter, owned extensive real estate holdings on the peninsula as well as in the upstate and in Mississippi.

Constructed in 1922, this Victorian building, identified as 174 A showcases elegant ornate trim,
 expansive porches, bay windows, and a vibrant exterior
 color. The high ceilings and enormous windows allow ample 
natural light to flood the spacious interiors.

This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. As an integral part of Saint Philip Square, this award-winning historic building has been meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston.

Saint Philip Square is an award-
winning collection of historic buildings meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. This property is
one of seventeen unique units. The grounds feature five special outdoor garden areas 
with amenities such as fountains, dining areas, fire pits, and covered barbecues. In the evening, this getaway sparkles with outdoor lighting, making it the ideal place for nightcaps after a day of exploring.

Your unit at Saint Philip Square includes a piazza-style private porch overlooking elegant, landscaped gardens. With comfortable seating, it’s ideal
 for a morning cup of coffee or a restful break 
between city adventures.

Study the area map and you will see our property shares a common border with Charleston's
 famed King Street, acclaimed for shopping, dining, and 
nightlife. You are as close as it gets to King Street. With a
 large walled-in and landscaped lot, you can rest assured your car is close by during your
 stay. Our local, onsite team is dedicated to ensuring your
 experience is as meaningful as it is memorable.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental in the Charleston area area:

Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Chic Apt 1 block to King St. Overlooks gardens and fountains, parking has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If not, contact the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 you have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
