(A3) John Bulow House at St. Philip Square - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Apartment
• Approximately 1274 square feet

One short block to historic downtown Charleston’s bustling King Street, our Carolopolis Award winning John Bulow House was build in the late 1800’s before undergoing a full remodel in 1996. Carefully marrying new with nostalgia, we lovingly maintained historic details while incorporating modern amenities.

With room for the family or group travelers, our second-floor A3 apartment features three bedrooms and two full baths. Enter through the gathering space featuring professional decor and, if of interest, a queen-sized couch bed.

The first bedroom homes a queen bed and connects to the living room but is afforded privacy with two locking double doors. The front bathroom maximizes modest space with a European shower complete with rain shower-head.

The second bedroom down the hall has a roomy king bed with the third bedroom close by and its queen bed. The back two bedrooms are closest to the second bathroom with a cavernous walk-in shower.

Step outside onto your beautiful porch or savor an evening drink in our private, newly revamped courtyard.

As our guest, you’ll be given convenient parking and a delightfully unique space to call your own during your Charleston hideaway that is mere steps away from all that historic downtown has to offer.

Our top Charleston vacation rental home tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal SC. To get the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking yourrental:

• Start by having your group decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. (A3) John Bulow House at St. Philip Square has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
