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 completely adorned coastal home. Appreciate a drink 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. Savor candle-lit al fresco dining in the cavernous 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 beverage hot spot. Crust is amazing 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 splendid 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. :)

Booking the best Charleston area rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in the Charleston area area. Reserve your Charleston area rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.

Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
