Property Description
Don't just visit historic downtown Charleston, stay in a restored carriage home that really is in the heart of it all. Located in Charleston's distinctive Wraggsborough neighborhood, Charlotte Street Cottage is a secluded, elegantly restored 200 year-old carriage home tucked behind intricate iron gates on an acre of gardens, set on grounds alongside the graceful main home. This private, striking, restored home is decorated in the style of a chic, french country bungalow.

While historic, this two bedroom, one and a half bath home has all the modern amenities that you could want including a entirely equipped modern kitchen, comfortable combined dining & living area, high speed internet, intelligent TV and a stack washer & dryer. The bedrooms, both located on the 2nd floor are each furnished with a queen bed and opulent linens. Charlotte Street Cottage has one parking space located at the back of the property.

Just a block to Meeting Street and Marion Square, Charleston's 6+ acre public park and that includes green space, walking trails, and a fountain and is home to Charleston's local Farmers Market. Charlotte Street Cottage is just steps away from stores, dining, entertainment and many other walkable amenities, including the South Carolina Aquarium, Galliard Center and the King Street Shopping District.

The area of Charleston's early Wraggborough neighborhood was owned and named for Joseph Wragg, the father of many kids, each of which had a street named for them in the original layout of Charleston, and this is how Charlotte Street gets its name. In the area directly around Charlotte Street Cottage you will find all of the other sibling's streets including Mary Street, Ann Street, Henrietta Street, Judith Street and John Street, as well as Wragg Square, at the corner of Charlotte & Meeting Street.

Strategies for getting the perfect Charleston area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

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

• Select dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Secluded, Elegantly Restored 200 year-old Carriage House has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
