Located in Charleston's appealing Ansonborough neighborhood, and part of the historic “The High School of Charleston” building, circa 1840-1842, designed by the famed Charleston architect, Edward Brickell White. The design of the school was recognized as a classic revival in design with six massive Corinthian columns supporting the portico. White also designed many churches and public buildings throughout Charleston.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Charleston area attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best vacation rental in Charleston:

• To start, have your group agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. New Listing! Live Like a Local, Historic Charleston has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your family.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. text the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
