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

Gorgeously 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 handsome 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 huge living area. The property has an awe-inspiring 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 charming 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.

Our top Charleston rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit Charleston & When to book:

• To find the largest rental within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Charleston area restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Cottage at DuPont. Privacy and Space in a Park-like Setting. has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

More considerations:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
