About this Property

An authentic Charleston home that offers "southern appeal" in a convenient location downtown. Located in the East Side, an “up-and-coming” neighborhood only blocks from many of the hotspots in Charleston. Appreciate walking the bridge and strolling to stores. Rent and ride bicycles to the markets or breweries. Bars, eateries, and downtown wedding venues are all less than five mins. away. You are right in the middle of everthing Charleston has to offer.

Guest access
The home is a duplex with a separate one bedroom unit located on the first floor at the front of the home.

Please note that the upstairs porch is used for owner storage and is closed off for guests.

The home is stringently non-smoking indoors.

Please note that the home is located in a neighborhood that is in the midst of a rapid gentrification. It is a mix of younger families, young professionals, college students, and lower income housing. While we feel the home is in a great location (with a Walk Score of 80) and the locals in Charleston are as friendly as the come, the optics of the neighborhood may not be for everybody.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Charleston area vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best rental home:

• First, have your family agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Charming, Authentic East Side Home~Bridge Views ???? has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If not, contact the property owner before booking the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Charleston area attraction you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
