Property Description
Don't just visit historic downtown Charleston, stay in a restored carriage home that really is in the heart of it all. Located in Charleston's distinctive Wraggsborough neighborhood, Charlotte Street Cottage is a secluded, elegantly restored 200 year-old carriage home tucked behind intricate iron gates on an acre of gardens, set on grounds alongside the graceful main home. This private, appealing, restored home is decorated in the style of a chic, french country bungalow.

While historic, this two bedroom, one and a half bath home has all the modern amenities that you could want including a completely equipped modern kitchen, comfortable combined dining & living area, high speed internet, intelligent TV and a stack washer & dryer. The bedrooms, both located on the 2nd floor are each furnished with a queen bed and opulent linens. Charlotte Street Cottage has one parking space located at the back of the property.

Just a block to Meeting Street and Marion Square, Charleston's 6+ acre public park and that includes green space, walking trails, and a fountain and is home to Charleston's local Farmers Market. Charlotte Street Cottage is just steps away from stores, dining, entertainment and many other walkable amenities, including the South Carolina Aquarium, Galliard Center and the King Street Shopping District.

The area of Charleston's early Wraggborough neighborhood was owned and named for Joseph Wragg, the father of many kids, each of which had a street named for them in the original layout of Charleston, and this is how Charlotte Street gets its name. In the area directly around Charlotte Street Cottage you will find all of the other sibling's streets including Mary Street, Ann Street, Henrietta Street, Judith Street and John Street, as well as Wragg Square, at the corner of Charlotte & Meeting Street.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Charleston:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Secluded, Elegantly Restored 200 year-old Carriage House has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
