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 outstanding 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 gorgeous 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. :)

Our top Charleston area rental booking tips:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your Charleston area vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Charleston area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick the perfect Charleston area vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide 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 details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
