She stands alone!

Our impressive bungalow accepts you to have your cake and eat it too with her serene privacy and splendid enclosed courtyard (furchildren welcome), while still being a stone's throw from all the fun and play downtown Charleston has to offer.

Featuring an open-concept living and dining area, this abode feels both roomy and comfortable all at once. The chef’s kitchen comes complete with new stainless steel appliances and is completely supplied should you choose to dine in or entertain at the darling bar.

Each of her three bedrooms comes with a queen bed along with a cozy West Elm sleeper couch should you need to rest a couple more heads.

The two bathrooms are conveniently located near the bedrooms and each comes equipped with premium linens.

As our guest, you’ll be given convenient, off-street parking and a delightfully unique space to call your own during your Charleston hideaway that is mere steps away from all that historic downtown has to offer.

Vacation rental home tips:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Charleston. Reserve your vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Cottage at St. Philip Square has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
