A sweet tiny house in a great location, with bikes and beach amenities. - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 3
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 220 square feet

Our tiny home tries really hard to be as outstanding as the cedar tree it sits next to. It even dressed itself in fancy cedar siding and lathered itself with tung oil. And although its efforts may have failed (it s hard to top mother nature), a definite theme has been born. Runner-up names supplied Hail Cedar! and 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Cedar.

Conveniences:
- Comfy queen in loft & West Elm futon in living area
- Fans and white noise in the loft
- AC & heat that work wonderfully
- Full kitchen and bath
- Two cruiser bicycles
- Upgraded beach package: Solbello beach shade, two nice beach chairs, two Turkish beach towels, Hydroflask cooler tote, mesh beach bag
- Hammock
- Outdoor patio with two cushioned couches
- Unique board games designed for two-person play
- Full length mirror
- Alexa-enabled bluetooth speaker
- Modest book collection

The bicycles are especially great, because there are a few eateries and a music venue within a leisurely five min. ride. More on that later. Now, onto the home:

It s tiny! But it doesn t feel that way. The light color of the bamboo floor, the many windows and the high ceilings help to open it up. The loft holds a queen-sized bed, which sits low to the floor on tatami mats. There is a full bath with a rain-down shower, air vent, and cloth curtain door. There is a entirely functional kitchen, with gas stove and microwave. There is a desk/table and a very comfortable futon couch that opens to sleep an (additional) adult or two kids (who are very welcome). The futon, when pulled out, measures 82” x 45.”

Conveniences for daily living abound: fast wi-fi; soaps, towels & bed linens; cookware; electrical kettle; coffee maker and french press; a selection of teas, Trader Joe's dark roast coffee; wine glasses and a wine opener, champagne glasses, pepper grinder, kosher salt, olive oil, honey, etc. If you are in need of anything, just ask!

The home sits on the front left corner of our property and is surrounded on three sides by a privacy fence. The front faces the driveway, which is where you'll pull up and park (left side). In effect, because of the tall fence, guests have an entire property with yard and driveway to themselves. Simple, keyless entry and a flood light that comes on if you arrive at nighttime.

Getting the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the right Charleston area vacation home:

• Start by having your group commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. A sweet tiny house in a great location, with bikes and beach amenities. has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable 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.
