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 handsome 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 adore giving recommendations on things to do and especially places to eat & drink in our city.

Getting the best Charleston vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Charleston. To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose your Charleston area rental:

• To start, have your family select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Quintessential Charleston Charm on Queen St has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If not, email the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
