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

Charmingly 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 elegant 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 appreciate 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 striking 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 savor 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 entirely 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.

Booking the best Charleston vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your Charleston area vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best rental in the Charleston area area:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group 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 vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. 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.
