Property Description
Step into the quintessential Charleston experience at this extravagant 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath getaway, ideally located in the heart of historic Harleston Village. Just a short walk to iconic King Street, the photogenic South of Broad neighborhood, and Colonial Lake, this exquisitely reimagined home invites you to live like a local—wrapped in Southern appeal and surrounded by timeless elegance. Divide you days between exploring the city or leisurely afternoons spent around the pool.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be swept away by The Rosewater House's warm character and high-end finishes. With gorgeous details like a bespoke mosaic tile entry mat plus soaring 12-foot ceilings, French & Italian antique chandeliers, and rich original wood floors that lend historic gravitas to this circa 1839 home, while elegantly curated interiors—refreshed in 2024—offer a sophisticated blend of old-world charm and modern design. The bright and airy living space flows effortlessly into a central dining room with a constructed-in cabinetry, setting the stage for intimate dinners or lively evenings with friends.

At the heart of the home lies a designer kitchen made for culinary adventures. Outfitted with farmhouse sink, granite counters, a gas range with a vented hood, bespoke cabinetry, and center island that seats three, the kitchen is both impressive and functional. Just beyond, French doors invite you into your own private sanctuary: a walled courtyard with a pristine heated saltwater pool/spa combo with fountain and an abundance of comfortable outdoor furnishings—an extraordinary find in downtown Charleston. A luxe sanctuary, the rear patio showcases a landscape design that includes citrus and olive trees, as well as insect repellent plants such as rosemary and lavender.

Each of the two upstairs bedrooms offers its own private ensuite bath, designed with spa-inspired finishes including seamless glass showers and soaking tubs. The broad primary suite is a true haven, complete with KING bed, dual vanities and soaking tub, plus a separate dressing room with bespoke constructed-ins. A convenient half bath is tucked beneath the staircase, and the home's first-floor washer and dryer make everyday living effortless.

Savor the added perks of off-street parking, and the unbeatable ability to walk to everything Charleston has to offer—from world-class dining and stores to historic parks and waterfront vistas. Whether you're calming poolside, entertaining in the chef's kitchen, or taking in the city's charm one cobblestone street at a time, The Rosewater House offers an memorable stay in one of Charleston's most beloved neighborhoods.

Strategies for getting the perfect Charleston vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Summer is high season in Charleston. Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Property managers typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Considerations for your stay:

Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
