Is it nice to stay in downtown and not worried about fighting the traffic or trouble to find a parking space?

You will be in the middle of downtown Charleston with abundance of stores and eateries. City Market and Colonial Lake are only 5 mins. walking. This cute modest 500 sqft space consists of 1 bedroom, bath, kitchenette and modest living area.

The unit is located in one building that the front is the main home and your unit is the rear one.

The apartment is roughly the size of a studio, but split between two floors. If you have heard about tiny home, this unit is similar to a tiny home. On the first floor is kitchenette and a set of a folding table and stools for two people. The folding table has its own wheel so you can move it if you want . On the second floor, there is a modest living area where you can seat to savor your cup of coffee.

The kitchen area features a refrigerator, sink, microwave, and coffee maker and gas stove.

The bedroom has a queen bed, TV and closet. The bathroom has a shower and toilet. Please note that this cozy space is not suitable for people who are taller than 6 feet.

The nightly rate is priced accordingly to the current condition of the apartment (needs some paint, floor is old…). Location is the key and you have complimentary parking space (for standard size car) so please do not expect a higher end hotel stay experience. Charleston is diversified area and we are next to low and middle income housing.

Strategies for getting the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, shift your family's Charleston area trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 1 Bedroom Apartment - Walk to King street - Free Parking has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Charleston area beach you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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 comments.
