spot for this quintessential Charleston single home, this apartment is located on the second floor of one of Charleston's special historic homes. You enter the home through street steps onto the first floor piazza and then up the steps to the second floor overlooking treetops and rooftops. Now enter the apartment from the second floor piazza into a huge high ceilinged GREAT ROOM with handsome wood floors, a sizable dining room table. The brand new KITCHEN with chic cabinetry and quartz counter is tucked away to the rear of this light-filled "great room". The granite counter with barstools is an inviting gathering space where you can visit, watch the prepare or savor a glass of wine. The kitchen has a complete supply of dishes and cookware. We have tried to add items that would make entertaining a joy.

LIVING ROOM/4TH BEDROOM
to the left are double folding doors leading into the enormous living room with classic fireplace. The room is furnished with 4 velvet swivel chairs on brass legs and a top of the line, beautiful couch sleeper with gel queen bed. The handsome mahogany antique desk completes the space.

In one corner, next to the fireplace, is a very clever and complete BATHROOM (2nd) with roomy granite shower with handsome glass door. Guests can use this room as a 4th bedroom with a very secure door.

The great room where you enter and the well equipped kitchen complement the gracious living room along with the piazza to make a comfortable and gorgeous space for friends and family to mix and socialize in a typical Charleston setting. MASTER BEDROOM
Off of the dining room to the right is a modest but comfortable bedroom (BR 1) with queen bed, a pretty window and closet and an entrance to the BATHROOM (1) with a soaking tub/shower. This bathroom can also be entered from the entrance room so also serves as another guest/common bathroom.

DORMER ROOMS
Between the kitchen and the living room is a appealing spiral staircase leading to two super striking DORMER ROOMS (2&3), each with their OWN BATH (2&3). These rooms have the oldest and prettiest floors of any of our properties The triple windows look over the rooftops and are a joy to experience. Each of these rooms has a King Bed with the idea that there is plenty of room for couples or singles that want the bigger bed size to share. Of course the space is ideal for kids but also a couple would be happy since each room has total privacy including closet space and desks.

The space is under the dormers so a tall person will duck if getting in and out from the sides. The middle space in front of the window is full height. Let us know your preference so we can have it set up the way you want.

We are really excited to be offering this latest addition to our ST PHILIP SQUARE COMPLEX. Each apartment has something special but this might be our favorite. It is opulent and provides an opportunity for our guests to receive their guests as a Charlestonian would. The three apartments in this building are all separate but connect through the piazzas and provide the ideal space to be together and separate.

Tricks and tips to get the best rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal SC. Book your rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional 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 local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in Charleston:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. (8C) Alexander Wilson House at St. Philip Square has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
