About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 3 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Think of Ruby as your eccentric auntie; a flapper girl in the roaring twenties, but now, here in the 1960s, she values the peaceful comfortable coastal amenities of an artist’s hideaway. Boutique art hotel meets entirely adorned coastal home. Savor a beverage in the speakeasy floor-to-ceiling charcoal art gallery. Rinse off after your surf sesh at The Washout (14-min. drive) in the outdoor shower. Appreciate candle-lit al fresco dining in the roomy screened-in porch (post-dinner Old Fashioned’s at the firepit to follow.) This space is playful, whimsical, and for those with a sense of humor who seek to relax. 10-min. walk to the iconic Terrace Theater, Bar George, and The Pour House. 10-min. drive to downtown. The very best location in Charleston, designed with your comfort and joy in mind.

Neighborhood description
I bought this home because of its insane location. A ten-min. WALK (walk!!) to the cutest and most beloved strip of eateries and bars at the Terrace Movie Theater shopping center, and The Pour House music venue. Bar George is your new neighborhood go-to date drink hot spot. Crust is fabulous oven roasted pizzas and seasonal salads. Millers All Day is the cutest, most trendy breakfast all-day spot you're going to cherish on lazy Saturdays. Get your nails done at Reflections Nail studio (ask for Kent!) Groove to Motown Throwdown play after chatting up your favorite local farmer at the Pour House Farmer's Market on Sundays (visit the pickled Green Bean lady, she's the best!!) There's live music every nighttime at The Pour House-check their calendar!

The entire neighborhood is a single looped road, very family friendly (there is a band of feral hyena girls ages 5-9 you'll see in a perfume cloud scootering the loop; one can only dream of one day arriving at their level of coolness to ride alongside these pocket-sized legends.) The neighborhood backs up to the iconic Muni Golf course, so it is ideally peaceful and calm beyond the hum of Maybank highway road sounds. Cross Maybank Highway and take a walk under the ancient Angel Oaks of Riverland Terrace (walking to the Riverland Terrace boat ramp is a pretty route.)

It's about a 10 min. drive to get to MUSC and the heart of downtown, and about 14 mins. to get to Folly Beach (simple parking, just make sure to get all 4 tires OFF the road of they'll ticket--so annoying.) There's a Gold's Gym about 9 Minutes down Riverland Terrace, and about a 6-min. drive to get to James Island County Park - miles of loops for running or walking with a friend ($2/per person, or get a season pass if you're a runner!)



KEYLESS ENTRY: You'll be given you own unique code for checking in with the keyless entry system. To enter, type in the 4-6 digit code + the "UTEC" icon at the bottom of lock.

LEAVING--To lock when leaving: Press the "UTEC" icon at the bottom of the lock.

AUTO-LOCK FEATURE: Front door auto-locks after 1 min., other doors autolock after 3 mins.. Yes, it sounds like the Terminator at first with its auto lock feature, but you'll get used to it. :)

Strategies for getting the best Charleston rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ruby's Escapade: Art Hotel Speakeasy Vibes with Massive Outdoor Spaces has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
