The first record of this home was in 1890. We have done definitely everything we can to preserve and highlight all of the historic appeal, while simultaneously updating with fun modern amenities. This decor of this home reflects that, with an eclectic mix of Victorian, mid century, and modern aesthetics.

This home is really charming. We were told when purchasing the home that at least 5 previous owners/tenants got married from living and meeting in the home.

----
In your space you will find two bedrooms, each outfitted with comfortable queen beds and spaces to work. Each bedroom also features a fireplace complete with the original mantles, refreshed light fixtures with remotes, and the original heart pine floors.

The kitchen and living rooms are separate, but do have an open floor plan, with plenty of room to stretch out. They feature the original heart pine beams and brick fireplace. The living room has a 55 inch intelligent TV with access to Apple TV. The kitchen has brand new appliances including a dishwasher, as well as butcherblock counters surrounding the stainless steel farmhouse sink.

The roomy bathroom was converted from porch space, so it still has the original bead board walls and ceiling and patina’d door. The vintage features are juxtaposed with a gorgeous walk in shower complete with a rain showerhead and wand, double vanity with granite counters, brand new washer and dryer, and ample storage.

The original stairwell features bead board panels and vintage wallpaper.
You will have private access to both the lower and upper porch, with dining space as well as a swinging day bed. The upstairs porch also features the original cast iron tub that we converted into a elegant garden accent.

All of the art, decor, and furnishings in the home were sourced locally. If you are curious if a piece is for sale, just ask!

Much of what you find in this home is one-of-a-kind, so please keep that in mind during your stay!

How to get the best Charleston vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is high season in Charleston. To get the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
