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 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 fashionable retail and eateries, & more.

Our top Charleston rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summertime is high season in Charleston. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group select a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Historic, 5 min Walk to King, Parking, Porches! has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
