Quintessential Charleston Charm on Queen St - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 3 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Attractively refreshed home in an amazingly convenient location in Charleston’s historic district. A short walk to King St, Colonial Lake, Broad St, and the Battery, and surrounded by some of the city’s best eateries and coffee stores. Sit on the front porch and wave to the carriage tours! Take an afternoon walk South of Broad and marvel at the iconic Charleston architecture! Exercise around impressive Colonial Lake and the tennis/pickleball courts. This location could not be better: walking distance to the top attractions but settled in a peaceful residential area.

The home has been newly remodeled, with an emphasis on maintaining the original appeal. The bright kitchen is open to the dining space with an exposed brick fireplace (non-functional). This flows to a formal living room with french doors to the front porch. The home has a cute little front yard with a modest garden. Guests are welcome to pick herbs for their meals. Off-street parking is limited to 2 cars, although the location makes a car nearly unnecessary.

My wife, Melissa, and I live in the upstairs unit. We have lived in Charleston for many years, and appreciate giving recommendations on things to do and especially places to eat & drink in our city.

How to get the best Charleston area vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Charleston. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Quintessential Charleston Charm on Queen St has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is best for your group.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
