Historic, 5 min Walk to King, Parking, Porches! - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 12
• 8 Bedrooms
• 6 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Summary:
Traveling with a group? This property is ideal - all six bedrooms have full ensuite baths. Note that this listing is a combination of two individual five star units within the same building with dozens of reviews.

The Space:
This entirely-refurbished property offers visitors convenient access to all the city has to offer. Comprised of the garden level and 1st floor apartments of a historic Charleston single home constructed in the late 1800s, and set back from the street with off-street parking, the rental overlooks candy-colored historic homes that dot the neighborhood and provides a true Charleston experience for guests.

These two apartments freshly underwent a full remodel, finished in spring 2017. Measuring just under 1,000 square feet each, the apartments each offer three bedrooms each featuring premium linens and its own full bathroom with shower (note: there is no internal staircase to connect these two apartments. They are housed in the bottom two levels of the same home but each 3BR/3BA apartment has its own entry, accessed via the outdoor staircase).

Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen, washer/dryer, and a classic Charleston single-style porch for appreciating the nearly year-round comfortable temperatures Charleston offers its visitors. The unit features an outdoor picnic table on the porch and a garden level patio, offering guests another space to visit or dine al fresco.

The Neighborhood:
These apartments are on the first and second floors of the three-story property. The home features one additional 3 BR/3 BA rental on the top floor - that can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for bigger groups. Please inquire if interested. Walkable to MUSC, CofC, King Street’s most fashionable retail and eateries, & more.

Getting Around:
Most guests walk, since we are so close to Upper King Street. Bikes, pedicabs or ubers are also close by and available for hire.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Charleston area area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in the Charleston area area:

• First, have your group decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Historic, 5 min Walk to King, Parking, Porches! has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Charleston area attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a great stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. message the property manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean 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 you have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
