Located in a cozy English Basement, this welcoming 2-bedroom, 2-bath garden level apartment offers visitors convenient access to all that Charleston has to offer. Housed in a historic Charleston single home constructed in the late 1800s, the apartment is steps from the city’s best stores and eateries and is conveniently walkable to MUSC and the College of Charleston.

The apartment newly underwent a full remodel, finished in spring 2017. Measuring just under 800 square feet, the apartment offers 2 bedrooms each featuring premium linens and its own full bathroom with shower. Thoughtful care has been put into crafting a clean and efficient space that offers all of the amenities of a boutique hotel (bath products, high-end towels and linens, hair dryers, iron, wi-fi, premium TV channels, etc.) with the added convenience of a full, chef-ready kitchen, washer/dryer, and a classic Charleston single-style porch for appreciating the nearly year-round cozy temperatures Charleston offers its visitors.

Stark, just down the block.

Tips to get the very best Charleston area rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• To get the best value, consider changing your family's Charleston area vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days 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 is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Garden Retreat - Perfect for Small Families has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If not, call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
