Part of The Compound (Search for "Charleston Compound")

The "Cottage" suite is the ground floor unit.

This 2-bedroom beauty was completely refreshed in late 2014. Taken down to the studs, every effort was made to ensure a comfortable stay for our guests. From industrial-grade soundproofing to re-designed porches, no detail was missed.

A simple, efficient open floor plan showcases a living room, bar and kitchen- all within one vantage point. Cozy seating for 7, brand-new stainless steel Bosch appliances, a 2-top bar and 50' flat screen with Direct TV are highlights.

The two bedrooms are just down the hall-

The King Bedroom features the best Malouf Egyptian cotton sheets, pillow-top bed and 6 pillows (both down and polyester). The comforters are hand-made and designed for the Charleston climate. Each duvet cover is professionally cleaned before each guest's arrival. There is a modest closet that stores a suitcases rack, iron and full-length mirror. A 45' flat screen with Direct TV is gorgeously positioned.

The second bedroom was newly updated and now has two twin beds, both with the same high-quality linens that you'll find throughout the property.

The two full bathrooms are clean and crisp. A European style glass and tile shower contrasts gorgeously to the white tile floor. All of the finest towels, makeup cloths and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries are included.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Charleston vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal SC. Booking in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. 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 high season.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you check-in. 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, travel guides have deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Finding the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 2 Short Blocks From King Street has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful 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 objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
