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 remodeled in 2017 to feature antique heart pine floor, tongue and groove walls, European hardware dating to the original period of the home, a entirely bespoke kitchen, brand new washer and dryer, and more.

The Space:
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!). Absolutely no events or late-nighttime noise will be tolerated.

Guest Access:
You have access to the huge front porch with dedicated seating for only you, rear porch, and patio with big Green Egg charcoal grille, charcoal being complimentary of course.

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

Getting Around:
There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are very common. You will not face any delay catching an uber.

Other Things to Note:
We are 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, Endaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Midtown, 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. 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.

Interaction with Guests:
We are available for questions and we're glad to assist in any way we can.

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Renovated 1850s Mansion in Downtown has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Charleston area beach you love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
