Units A, B, and C are all on 2 levels, with unit A boasting a washer and dryer and 4 tall windows that look down over bustling King Street. Each of these 3 units has central heat and air, WIFI, a living area with a TV, and a half bath downstairs next to a modern kitchen equipped with counter stools, stainless-steel appliances, and cookware. Each unit has two original brick and wood-accented bedrooms, each with a TV, and sharing one full bathroom with a ceramic tiled walk-in shower. It is important to note that the 2 bedrooms in these 3 units can only be reached via a spiral metal staircase.

We refer to the 6 units at 563 King Street collectively as “Narnia”, because of their storied past as home to some of Charleston’s most enthusiastic young revelers, who lovingly dubbed their temporary abode with this fitting moniker in the 1980s and '90s. Narnia remains a magical place where anything can happen, only now it’s been completely updated into 6 luxury apartments that are available to rent by the nighttime or week. This group of apartments is housed on the 2nd level of a building that is over 100 years old, so each one features unique old-world construction elements - like exposed brick and antique heart pine floors, blended with shiplap accent walls. These apartments were all newly refurbished to provide a seamless experience with the interiors of the 21 units in the freshly constructed Firetower building, which is attached at the far end of the breezeway.

Each of Narnia’s six apartments is adjacent to a roomy, open-air deck, which is for the use of Firetower guests only. This common space is furnished with four comfortable conversation areas and has globe-string lights above for pleasant glowing evenings under the nighttime sky.

In addition to this appealing social space, the property offers a furnished rooftop deck on top of the new Firetower building (take the outdoor stairs at the end of Narnia’s breezeway) From this vantage point is a beautiful, 360-degree panorama of the historic steeples, rooftops, and bridges that define the Holy City’s dramatic skyline.

Vacation rental home tips:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. Book your Charleston area vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property 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 guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by selecting your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Beautiful chic home with modern design & walkable location near everything has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. Otherwise, email the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
