Although upgraded to provide the modern amenities of daily life, the woodwork, wood floors, and other historic antebellum features have been ideally preserved and restored to offer guests all the chic and modern amenities you’d expect in your own home with the beauty and history of architecture that is 225 years old. This suite has spectacular and unique slate roof lines and the quality craftsmanship of the 18th century, while providing modern conveniences and upgrades for the best of both worlds.

The front door to your room opens to a spiral staircase down to our outdoor terrace that offers a comfortable sitting area where you can have your morning coffee, savor a glass of wine, or have a dip in our pool while taking in the lavish appeal of downtown Charleson’s historic landscape. The carriage home is comfortable and peaceful. It is an amazing way to be in the action of the city while appreciating a feeling of seclusion and serenity.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your best deal:

Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Summertime is high season in Charleston. Reserve your rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Charleston area rental home:

Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
Walk to King has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If not, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
Visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
