A great way to "get away from it all" in Charleston. Appreciate this roomy 1064 square foot bungalow located in a gorgeously landscaped private garden setting.

Elegantly furnished, always spotlessly clean with a well-furnished full kitchen...and completely away from the hordes. The bungalow is a complimentary-standing self-contained private accommodation in a gorgeous garden setting with off street parking.

Only four miles from the Historic District the Cottage is close to Middleton and Magnolia Gardens, Drayton Hall, Charles Towne Landing, McLeod Plantation, the Intracoastal Waterway and 20 mins. from Folly Beach. The ten mile long West Ashley Greenway is just two blocks away. It's great for walking and cycling. Our own private garden with koi pond and waterfall is also a nice place to relax.

Getting out of the downtown crowd accepts our guests to relax and savor a 1064 square foot bungalow with TWO Queen size beds in ONE 25' X 12' bedroom and a enormous living area. The property has an pretty kitchen with granite countertops and a sizable living area where guests can share a meal and some quality time together.

If you want to go downtown it's five mins. away. If you want to walk the gardens, ride or walk the greenway or just stare out across a handsome Intracoastal waterway view you can do that right here in West Ashley on your own schedule. All of these options are between 2 and 15 mins. away. Many eateries in the area deliver independently or participate with GrubHub and UberEats.

The Cottage is located in the DuPont section of West Ashley on Wappoo Road between the West Ashley Greenway and the Stono River Overlook ICW at the Edgewater Park Bridge. The building faces a private garden behind a privacy gate and is completely separate from the owners' home which is also on the property. We are located two miles from the Avondale entertainment district and four miles to downtown Charleston and the Medical District.

We appreciate interacting with guests, but we also believe in giving people their space. All arrangements can be made online and contact-complimentary. We are generally available during the day between 8AM and 7PM and we are happy to assist you with local information or any special needs. The Cottage at DuPont is a completely licensed short term rental accommodation in the City of Charleston. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW FAMILY PETS, CHILDREN, SMOKING OR EVENTS OF ANY KIND.

Tips to get the optimal Charleston area rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summertime is high season in the Charleston area area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• In the Charleston area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family commit to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. The Cottage at DuPont. Privacy and Space in a Park-like Setting. has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
