Reader's Note: You have to stay with me on this. The following description contains a lot of truthful snark, so don't be put off by it.

This Condomium, APT C is "fresh" to the market. It is on the second floor of a 120-year-old former Charleston single home that has been architecturally restored and maintained by the owner-manager, a Charleston native. A minimum 30-day lease must be signed. Options to extend the lease may be considered and will depend on circumstances and availability. You are NOT required to be in residence during your lease time.

From 82 Rutledge Avenue, you can walk to the Medical, Business, and other Historic Districts. The College of Charleston is less than a 10-min. walk. Within a 2-—to 3-block area, there are friendly, untouristed neighborhood eateries.

The property has a curated garden and an old English brick patio for your enjoyment.
Parking is available in the back lot, on the street, and in close by tons. It is supplied. Since this is Charleston, on-property parking cannot accommodate enormous SUVs such as Yukons, Escalades, or F-150s. Please contact us to determine your parking needs if you plan to bring a car. Charleston streets were designed for horses and carriages, not armored personnel carriers. Parking is problematic in Charleston; I did not create it.


The resident manager is on-site and provides you with biased and jaundiced site-seeing, touring, and dining recommendations to further enhance your stay.

Apt C has been entirely restored to keep its legacy features but has had significant modern upgrades, which will be detailed below. The porch, old English brick patio, and expertly curated gardens are for your enjoyment.

As mentioned earlier, APT C is on the 2nd floor of the main building at 82 Rutledge Avenue. There are 2 separate stairs. The spiral staircase leads to the 2nd-floor porch with a door to the living room. The second leads from the street through the side garden to an exterior landing with a security door. Upon entry from the security door, there is a set of stairs with an intervening landing, which leads to the hallway door of Apt C. The stairs are safe but not necessarily ADA-compliant. There is no elevator. Luggage assistance is available.

The entire unit has refinished wood floors, adjustable ceiling fans, adjustable LEDs,
calm colors, period piece furnishings, double pane.

The master bedroom with a king-size bed is handsome and appointed with a chest of drawers end tables, and a writing desk. The windows allow the room to be filled with light, and the black-out drapes assure a good nighttime's sleep. All windows are double-paned. An adjacent closet room with hang-up closets, bespoke-constructed cabinetry for clothes, and room for bags storage.

The living room has comfortable period pieces that are well illustrated in the photographs. There is TV with cable access. Complementary 5G Wi-Fi is located throughout the unit, and USB jacks are also supplied. The bathroom has Carrera tile, a shower tub, and all amenities. The water pressure is superb. The TV is not significant. However, the TV is intelligent and connected. You will be basically on your own to navigate, 'cause I ain't crapping w/it." There is 5g complimentary secure wifi to "stream" to your heart's content. You are in Charleston, so you can pass up on ESPN, HGTV, MSNBC, FOX, etc.

The kitchen has been bespoke-constructed. All appliances are new. There is a washer and dryer in this area. There is a bespoke-constructed mahogany table in the kitchen area. The kitchen is completely outfitted. and ready for you to prepare any meal you wish.
Everything in the kitchen is bespoke-constructed.

If you are serious about leasing the unit for Spoleto or anything else, it is necessary to contact me first.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Charleston area area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best rental in the Charleston area area:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. HISTORIC DISTRICT-HarlestonVillage_SPOLETO SPECIAL- Condo-Easy Walk -30 Day Min has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
