These are suites with 2 king bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a shared living area. The private, furnished balcony in the living room of these 3 apartments overlooks the back of Charleston’s historic Fire Station 6 and its old Firetower.

Centrally located in downtown Charleston, in an area full of notable eateries, locally owned stores and cafes, and lively entertainment venues, this new 4 story brick and wood addition to the Firetower complex, complete with off-street parking, is your ideal home base for exploring all Charleston has to offer.

Each apartment in this appealing new property is the ideal location to experience the local flavor in one of downtown Charleston's most buzzed-about neighborhoods. Each of the three levels above the lobby contains 7 unique units, most with a gorgeous furnished balcony.

All 21 units have central heat and air, dedicated WIFI, and a TV in every living room and bedroom for your comfort and convenience. From modern, ceramic-tiled bathrooms with a sliding glass door shower in each unit, to bespoke kitchens with stainless steel appliances and cooking implements, you have access to all the creature amenities of home in these well-appointed apartments. The entire property is secured by entry-door touchpads with assigned pin codes that change with each visitor. Last but not least, from level 4 up a side stairway you will find the rare amenities of a roomy, private rooftop deck, with a handsome view of the many steeples, historic buildings, and bridges that make up Charleston's skyline, the ideal place to take in the sunset or watch as stars fill the nighttime sky.

As you venture out to discover, just steps outside the lobby door, you’ll find “Baba’s on Cannon”, a neighborhood staple serving up the best espresso and cappuccino in town, as well as breakfast pastries, craft drinks, simple opulent tapas, and an expertly curated wine list. Inside, avoid the line and download the Baba's app to place a prepaid order to go. Next door to Baba's is the conveniently located "Queen Anne's Liquors" with everything needed to provision a pre-dinner drink on your private balcony. Just across the street is James Beard Award-winning chef, Mike Lata’s acclaimed seafood and raw bar restaurant, “The Ordinary” (reservations on RESY are always a good idea, but two can open comfortable up to the bar and order from the full menu).

As you head down King Street toward famed Battery Park (a 30-min. walk) each beautiful block is steeped with historic architecture, elegant native flora, and an eclectic mix of stores, bars, and eateries. If you walk in the other direction, there are many striking, locally-owned bouquets and modest eateries cropping up down Cannon and Spring Street, with The Aquarium and Market Street just a short drive or long walk away.

The 21 units in the new Firetower building round out an existing complex of 10 short-term apartment rental units adjacent on each side that have been inviting visitors to relax and relax with us for over 5 years. Located amidst Charleston’s vibrant King Street social scene, the old Cannon Street home contains 4 apartments and the King Street complex has 6 units lined up in a row beside our cavernous rooftop patio - which is accessible at all times, and for solely the use of our guests.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. Book your Charleston area rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect Charleston area rental home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Sunlit & inviting condo with a furnished balcony, kitchen, & rooftop deck has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a great stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong 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.
