•One parking 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 sizable high ceilinged GREAT ROOM with handsome wood floors, a enormous 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 appreciate 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 huge 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.

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 handsome 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 striking spiral staircase leading to two super gorgeous 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.

Each apartment has something special but this might be our favorite. It is delightful 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 vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Charleston. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates 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 frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Choose dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. (8C) Alexander Wilson House at St. Philip Square has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If not, email or call the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. text the host right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct 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 comments.
