About this Property

• Sleeps 5

• Private vacation home

Cavernous home on private lake. Just a few miles to the downtown, but in a peaceful neighborhood. This location offers the best of everything! Appreciate coffee from the deck and handsome wildlife in the lake. Use a kayak to take in the turtles, ducks and fish. Walk across the street for grocery, Starbucks, eateries and even a liquor store. Use a bicycle to ride through the neighborhoods or to the store. And just a few mins. away is the striking downtown Charleston. James Island offers fantastic eateries and parks itself but the beach and downtown are just a short drive. My home offers a peaceful reprieve from the excitement with three big bedrooms, a additional room/office, a great room, dining room, completely supplied kitchen and breakfast nook. The decks offer ways to savor the outside with a nice dining area for cookouts. Cozy beds and quality linens make coming home that much nicer. The electric fireplace offers warm and ambiance. There isn’t much you will need when staying here! Welcome home!

Strategies to get the optimal Charleston area rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Charleston. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the best rental home:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Waterfront-close to downtown, beaches has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, call the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
