There's simply nothing else like it in Charleston!

300 yards down a private road and you're in the middle of the charming marsh. Just you, dolphins, birds, occasional kayaker...and of course this big sailing yacht. The three well-appointed cabins, two bathrooms, a living area, and a modern galley, provide a comfortable stay, to be sure....but who's staying inside when you can spend time on the 900SF dock - calming with a good book, grilling out, swimming with the dolphins, paddleboarding, kayaking, or even fishing at one of the best spots in town!

This Blue Water Yacht spent most of its life sailing between California and Alaska - although she's been around the world twice. Her classic teak woodwork, comfortable layout, and modern amenities make for the ideal hideaway on the water.

Oh...did I mention you get to name her? That's right, we've painted the back of her hull with chalkboard paint, and we provide the chalk. So have a little fun and come up with a cool name!

The Yacht is on a private, secluded, dock just off the Folly River. This heaven is yours for your entire stay. You can relax in the hammock or sit at the picnic table on the huge pierhead overlooking the marsh. You can take one of the kayaks (we have a single and a double) and paddle through the marsh exploring, go swimming, or try your luck fishing from the dock. You can also savor a impressive sunrise from the bow of the boat or a beautiful sunset from the stern - or relax in the chairs on the dock, or up on the pierhead where you will always find a cool breeze.

There are other places you can stay while you're in Charleston, but none of them are like this. You will be staying three football fields away from the nearest home, in the middle of a handsome marsh, appreciating the outdoor adventure you always dreamed of. Frankly ... the problem may be getting you to leave :) lol

Tips and Tricks to get the best Charleston area vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Charleston area area. Book your Charleston area rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 60' Sailing Yacht on a Private Dock has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
