Ruby's Escapade: Art Hotel Speakeasy Vibes with Massive Outdoor Spaces - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

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. 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 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 impressive 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 (painless 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 to get the best Charleston area vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. Reserve your Charleston area rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Ruby's Escapade: Art Hotel Speakeasy Vibes with Massive Outdoor Spaces has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, call the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you crave, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms 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 group have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
