Welcome to 40 Bee! We are located in the Cannonborough Elliottborough neighborhood of the downtown district across the street from MUSC, making this the prime location for students and medical professions. Whether you are traveling for business or enjoyment, looking to marvel in the historic appeal of Charleston or bury your feet in the sand at the local beaches, our comfortable 644sqft condo is most suitable for no more than two adults and we are centrally located to everything you will want to see or do while visiting Charleston. **********One pet is allowed and must be pre approved, non aggressive and a modest breed under 35 pounds per HOA policies*********
Our complex is just across the street from the Medical University of South Carolina and a short distance from the College of Charleston and Citadel. And while you can walk nearly anywhere and savor the handsome streets of Charleston, there are also a variety of ubers, bicycle taxis and buses that can get you down to King Street for a day of shopping and dining or to the Battery, White Point Garden and Charleston Waterfront Park.

For those who are looking to spend some time on the water, Folly Beach is just 10 miles away or 15 miles in the other direction is the Isle of Palms. Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant is also within a 10 min. drive and full of activity whether you stop in at one of the local eateries/bars or just want to walk the boardwalk and catch a glimpse of dolphins and shrimp boats coming in from a long day of catching. A Shem Creek sunset should not be missed! Fort Sumter, Patriot's Point and the South Carolina Aquarium are close by as well!

If time doesn't allow for you to tread too far from the condo, walk across the street to the urban garden where you can relax on a bench and appreciate the splendid flowers and plants. A short little walk at nighttime with the glowing led lights hanging from the sizable oak trees is a great way to relax for the evening.

Our unit is located on the top floor of the building which is the 4th floor and there is an elevator if you don't feel like going up the steps. The entire condo has been freshly refreshed with fresh paint and wood floor throughout, resurfaced ceilings and granite countertops. The main bathroom has a new bath/shower combo with granite tile and the second bathroom shower has been updated with ceramic tile!

A washer/dryer combo is available for our guests to use in the condo. *Please be aware that while this appliance was just purchased, it is a very modest washer/dryer combo and does take time to complete a cycle so if you have a lot of laundry or bigger items to wash, there is a laundry room on the ground floor of the property that has instructions for use and payment.

There is a starter set of supplies including toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent, trash bags, coffee with creamers and tea to get your stay started. Please bring more supplies along with your personal hygiene products such as shampoo and conditioner as those are not supplied.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to being right across the street from the hospital, there may be noise at different hours of the day on occassion from sirens and the emergency helicopter on occasion. We also suggest you get a P.O. Box if you will need to receive mail as our complex only uses locked mailboxes for long term tenants.

One parking spot is available during your stay and there will be a parking pass for you on the tray underneath the TV once you arrive. This pass MUST be displayed hanging from the rearview mirror of your car during the entire length of your stay. If you do not display a pass you will be towed and fined at your own expense.

***PLEASE RETURN THE PARKING PASS TO THE CONDO BEFORE YOU LEAVE AS OUR NEXT GUESTS WILL NEED IT. IF THE PASS IS LOST OR NOT RETURNED YOU WILL BE CHARGED $150, THE PRICE OF GETTING A NEW PARKING PASS***

Strategies to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. 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 months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Charleston:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Available for spring bookings! Close to MUSC, CofC, free parking, walk anywhere! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Charleston area attraction you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
