Renovated 1850s Mansion in Downtown - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 4 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Apartment

Summary:
Live like a local in this show-stopping three bedroom, two bath apartment located in downtown Charleston. Housed in an historic home dating to 1851, every detail of the rental was completely refreshed in 2017 to feature antique heart pine floor, tongue and groove walls, European hardware dating to the original period of the home, a completely bespoke kitchen, brand new washer and dryer, and more.

The floorplan is ideal for socializing with an open concept living room and eat-in kitchen on one end and the three bedrooms on the opposite end. The living room and kitchen look out on Cannon street, one of Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood’s most vibrant streets, home to many fashionable stores and eateries all just steps from the rental.

The chef-ready bespoke kitchen features high-end kitchen appliances that make it convenient to whip up any meal – although with so many great eateries within blocks of the rental, it may be hard to resist going out for meals. Off of this living room/kitchen area is a classic Charleston porch, offering guests an outdoor area to visit and people watch.

All three bedrooms boast comfortable queen beds with plush linens. Two of the three bedrooms feature full ensuite bathrooms (shower and toilet – no baths). One of the two bathrooms opens both to the bedroom as well as the hallway, accepting the third bedroom to access the bathroom from the hallway just off the bedroom.

The rental is located on the second floor (spiral staircase!) of the home and is one of three units we offer within the home. Please inquire if interested in booking more than one rental and we’d be happy to try to accommodate bigger events throughout our other units. One onsite parking spot is available for the rental – with room to park one more car across the street in a parking lot we lease.

Absolutely no events or late-nighttime noise will be tolerated.

Outdoor patio with Acorn Bar-B-Que grille, all outdoor cooking silverware supplied.

I am three blocks from King Street. Cannon Street dead ends into King where you would be right in the middle of all the activity - many nice eateries such as The Darling, the Grocery, Ordinary and Endaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Midtown and Prohibition. There are also great niche eateries closer than King Street. Pick the experience - fine dining to casual outdoor dining, it is here. You could look up Hominy Grille, Chez Nous, Trattoria Lucca, Fuel, Goulette.

I am available for questions as needed. Glad to assist in any way I can.

Once the site of colonial lumber mills, Cannonborough is now an inviting neighborhood blending classy historic and reproduction architecture. It's also located within walking distance of Upper King Street's enchanting eateries, stores, and bars.

There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Pedicabs are readily available to get you from point A to point B. Uber and Lyft are very common. You will not face any delay catching an uber. Mind as well catch an uber for about $20 to Magnolia or Middleton Plantations.

Since Cannon Street (and Spring Street) are the only legal areas in the city to host an AirBnb in Charleston, you will be in good company here.

If you want the full Charleston experience you need to sign up for a walking tour or carriage tour, a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter numerous times daily so that you can land your two feet at exactly where the Civil War started.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to book a Charleston area rental home & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Charleston area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Renovated 1850s Mansion in Downtown has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Charleston area beach you simply love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
