Welcome to 40 Bee! We are located in the Cannonborough Elliottborough neighborhood of the downtown district across the street from MUSC, making this the prime location for students and medical professions. Whether you are traveling for business or enjoyment, looking to marvel in the historic appeal of Charleston or bury your feet in the sand at the local beaches, our comfortable 644sqft condo is most suitable for no more than two adults and we are centrally located to everything you will want to see or do while visiting Charleston. **********One pet is allowed and must be pre approved, non aggressive and a modest breed under 35 pounds per HOA policies*********
Our complex is just across the street from the Medical University of South Carolina and a short distance from the College of Charleston and Citadel. And while you can walk nearly anywhere and savor the pretty streets of Charleston, there are also a variety of ubers, bicycle taxis and buses that can get you down to King Street for a day of shopping and dining or to the Battery, White Point Garden and Charleston Waterfront Park.

For those who are looking to spend some time on the water, Folly Beach is just 10 miles away or 15 miles in the other direction is the Isle of Palms. Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant is also within a 10 min. drive and full of activity whether you stop in at one of the local eateries/bars or just want to walk the boardwalk and catch a glimpse of dolphins and shrimp boats coming in from a long day of catching. A Shem Creek sunset should not be missed! Fort Sumter, Patriot's Point and the South Carolina Aquarium are close by as well!

If time doesn't allow for you to tread too far from the condo, walk across the street to the urban garden where you can relax on a bench and appreciate the handsome flowers and plants. A short little walk at nighttime with the glowing led lights hanging from the enormous oak trees is a great way to relax for the evening.

Our unit is located on the top floor of the building which is the 4th floor and there is an elevator if you don't feel like going up the steps. The entire condo has been freshly refreshed with fresh paint and wood floor throughout, resurfaced ceilings and granite countertops. The main bathroom has a new bath/shower combo with granite tile and the second bathroom shower has been updated with ceramic tile!

A washer/dryer combo is available for our guests to use in the condo. *Please be aware that while this appliance was just purchased, it is a very modest washer/dryer combo and does take time to complete a cycle so if you have a lot of laundry or bigger items to wash, there is a laundry room on the ground floor of the property that has instructions for use and payment.

There is a starter set of supplies including toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent, trash bags, coffee with creamers and tea to get your stay started. Please bring more supplies along with your personal hygiene products such as shampoo and conditioner as those are not supplied.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to being right across the street from the hospital, there may be noise at different hours of the day on occassion from sirens and the emergency helicopter on occasion. We also suggest you get a P.O. Box if you will need to receive mail as our complex only uses locked mailboxes for long term tenants.

One parking spot is available during your stay and there will be a parking pass for you on the tray underneath the TV once you arrive. This pass MUST be displayed hanging from the rearview mirror of your car during the entire length of your stay. If you do not display a pass you will be towed and fined at your own expense.

***PLEASE RETURN THE PARKING PASS TO THE CONDO BEFORE YOU LEAVE AS OUR NEXT GUESTS WILL NEED IT. IF THE PASS IS LOST OR NOT RETURNED YOU WILL BE CHARGED $150, THE PRICE OF GETTING A NEW PARKING PASS***

Our top Charleston area vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Charleston rental home:

• To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Experience the spirit of Christmas in Charleston! Close to MUSC, free parking! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean 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 group have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
