The home features two additional units - one, a garden level apartment, and the other on the first floor - that can be rented in conjunction with this apartment for bigger groups.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in the Charleston area area. To find the best rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• First, have your family agree to a vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 2BR w/ en suite baths Historic, Comfortable & Walkable Downtown Apartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Document any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
