Property Description
A stay at High Society offers the chance to really “live like a local” and immerse yourself in all the historic details of this beautiful, 2 bedroom, 2 bath luxury condo in the heart of historic downtown Charleston. Located in Charleston's impressive 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.

Not only will you come home to the elegance and grandeur of this unmistakable building, but you'll delight in the original 1840's details including 13 foot ceilings, original heart pine floor, exposed beams and age-old brickwork.

How to find the best Charleston rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Charleston. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. New Listing! Live Like a Local, Historic Charleston has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a specific Charleston area destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
