Charmingly Charleston is an appealingly located townhouse located across the street from Colonial Lake in downtown Charleston's Historic District. Ideal for travelers who want to really appreciate living in Charleston like a local! Our beautiful home away from home is the ideal place to rest your head while visiting Charleston for a month or longer.

Decorated in a quirky, casual Lowcountry theme, Charmingly Charleston offers two bedrooms, one and a half baths, living room, separate dining room, completely equipped kitchen, and laundry room. The primary bedroom is sizable with a walk-in closet and a queen-sized bed. The second bedroom is comfortable and has a day bed with trundle and a writing desk.

We are located on Colonial Lake, near the Battery, the Ashley Marina, and within walking or cycling distance of the Medical University of South Carolina and College of Charleston . A nice walk or pedi-cab ride away you will also find the Historic Market, Gibbes Museum, and the marvelous shopping & dining of King Street.

Savor Charleston's outstanding eateries, antique stores, historic and ghost walking tours, horse drawn carriages, tours of historic homes, harbor cruises, and the South Carolina Aquarium all close by!

It is also an painless commute to Boeing or a jaunt across the peninsula to Charleston Law School. Additionally you are just a short drive from five beaches, seven marinas, and more golf courses that I can recall.

Don't wait, just grab your toothbrush and come on!

Interested in staying longer? Ask me about our lease prices for three or more months that include housekeeping, Internet, and utilities.

Please note, that per Charleston's draconian ordinances, we are a monthly rental and do not rent by the nighttime.

Cancellation Policy
Please note, we are not the Hilton, and when you make a reservation, we hold the space for you and turn away other guests so you will have this special place. People searching for monthly units usually book 6-12 months in advance, as such we are not able to offer “flexible” cancellations.
Before you book, we ask you to please make sure of your dates. In the past, when we had a 60-day cancellation policy, we had two different guests hold our home off the market for a year, during which we turned down many other guests, only to have them cancel exactly 60-days before arrival. Since monthly renters have usually found their lodging at least 90 days out, we ended up with vacant months in both cases. This is when we changed our policy to “no refund”, as it was the only other option available on the platform. However, we know things happen and always want to work with our guests.
Our policy is pretty simple:
- Full refund if cancelled within 48 hours of booking and at least 28 days before check-in.
- Refund, less $1500, for cancellations made up to 3 months before check-in.
- After that, reservation is non-returnable. However, we will aggressively try to fill the dates and we will refund you whatever amount we are able to collect through rebooking.

If you have any questions, please contact me. We appreciate hosting and sharing our city with others, and we hope to see you soon!

Tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• To find the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the perfect rental in the Charleston area area:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Charmingly Charleston in Historic District on Colonial Lake, Near the Battery has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. text the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
