Fantastic new remodel of 1851 antebellum grandiose double Charleston home.

I am a Charlestonian native that wants to share Charleston's way of life with you!

This is a brand-new space that I just finished working on after 5 years using every reclaimed piece of heart pine, tin, and old slate that I could re-use or find. It is very impressive to see. I think you would savor.

George’s home is located in Charleston, South Carolina, United States.
Cannonborough district is an inviting downtown area, blending chic historic and reproduction residential construction. Located within walking distance of the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina Medical Center complex, this neighborly, yet metropolitan area has some of the more economical properties in the city. Notable Homes and Buildings and fun facts: The most famed home in Cannonborough is the McBee House at 172 Rutledge, now the centerpiece of Ashley Hall School. The 1815 Regency Villa style home was once owned by George Trenholm, an expert duelist and financier of Civil War blockade runners, and presumed to be the man on whom the Rhett Butler character was based in Gone With The Wind. Cannonborough is a short walk to Upper King Street where you will find some of Charleston's favorite eateries and shopping spots. Basil is a local favorite for lunch and dinner. Rue De Jean, a French style bistro, referred to as Rue by most of Charleston has outstanding mussels. Voted one of the best French eateries in town. If it is dessert you like, then you have come to the right place as well. There are cupcakes of all shapes and sizes at Cupcake owned by Kristin Kuhlke. The Macaroon Boutique is a traditional bakery/pastry shop where you will find all sorts of breads, rolls, and colorful cookies baked with fresh ingredients by the French owners.

Strategies to get the perfect Charleston area vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. Book your Charleston area vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Luxurious and Spacious Antebellum Mansion has 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If there's an individual Charleston area beach you crave, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong 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.
