Property Description
A stay at High Society offers the chance to really “live like a local” and immerse yourself in all the historic details of this classy, 2 bedroom, 2 bath luxury condo in the heart of historic downtown Charleston. Located in Charleston's striking Ansonborough neighborhood, and part of the historic “The High School of Charleston” building, circa 1840-1842, designed by the famed Charleston architect, Edward Brickell White. The design of the school was recognized as a classic revival in design with six massive Corinthian columns supporting the portico. White also designed many churches and public buildings throughout Charleston.

Not only will you come home to the elegance and grandeur of this unmistakable building, but you'll delight in the original 1840's details including 13 foot ceilings, original heart pine floor, exposed beams and age-old brickwork.

Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Finding the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Charleston area attractions.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to select the perfect vacation home in Charleston:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. New Listing! Live Like a Local, Historic Charleston has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Charleston area attraction you are crazy about, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the property manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
