Group Getaway - 6BR\/6BA in Heart of Charleston - 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 completely-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 newly 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:
The apartment is located in the lively Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, where guests can effortlessly shop for tailored menswear at Indigo & Cotton right next door, or indulge in delicious baked goods from Sugar Bakeshop just across the street. The area is also home to some of Charleston's most acclaimed eateries, with many within simple walking distance. In fact, a recent Thrillist article listed 11 of the city's top eateries that are just a short walk from the apartment, including O-Ku, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit, Chez Nous, The Darling Oyster Bar, The Grocery, Indaco, The Ordinary, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Warehouse, and Leon's Oysters. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or an fresh meal, you’ll find something close by to satisfy your cravings.

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.

Other Things to Note:
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 trendy retail and eateries, & more.

Interaction with Guests:
We are available to assist guests as needed.

How to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine 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 articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Group Getaway - 6BR\/6BA in Heart of Charleston has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, 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 described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
