These are suites with 2 king bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a shared living area. The private, furnished balcony in the living room of these 3 apartments overlooks the back of Charleston’s historic Fire Station 6 and its old Firetower.

Centrally located in downtown Charleston, in an area full of notable eateries, locally owned stores and cafes, and lively entertainment venues, this new 4 story brick and wood addition to the Firetower complex, complete with off-street parking, is your ideal home base for exploring all Charleston has to offer.

Each apartment in this appealing new property is the ideal location to experience the local flavor in one of downtown Charleston's most buzzed-about neighborhoods. Each of the three levels above the lobby contains 7 unique units, most with a striking furnished balcony.

All 21 units have central heat and air, dedicated WIFI, and a TV in every living room and bedroom for your comfort and convenience. From modern, ceramic-tiled bathrooms with a sliding glass door shower in each unit, to bespoke kitchens with stainless steel appliances and cooking implements, you have access to all the creature amenities of home in these well-appointed apartments. The entire property is secured by entry-door touchpads with assigned pin codes that change with each visitor. Last but not least, from level 4 up a side stairway you will find the rare luxury of a roomy, private rooftop deck, with a handsome view of the many steeples, historic buildings, and bridges that make up Charleston's skyline, the ideal place to take in the sunset or watch as stars fill the nighttime sky.

As you venture out to discover, just steps outside the lobby door, you’ll find “Baba’s on Cannon”, a neighborhood staple serving up the best espresso and cappuccino in town, as well as breakfast pastries, craft beverages, simple delightful tapas, and an expertly curated wine list. Inside, avoid the line and download the Baba's app to place a prepaid order to go. Next door to Baba's is the conveniently located "Queen Anne's Liquors" with everything needed to provision a pre-dinner beverage on your private balcony. Just across the street is James Beard Award-winning chef, Mike Lata’s acclaimed seafood and raw bar restaurant, “The Ordinary” (reservations on RESY are always a good idea, but two can open comfortable up to the bar and order from the full menu).

As you head down King Street toward famed Battery Park (a 30-min. walk) each handsome block is steeped with historic architecture, splendid native flora, and an eclectic mix of stores, bars, and eateries. If you walk in the other direction, there are many gorgeous, locally-owned bouquets and modest eateries cropping up down Cannon and Spring Street, with The Aquarium and Market Street just a short drive or long walk away.

The 21 units in the new Firetower building round out an existing complex of 10 short-term apartment rental units adjacent on each side that have been inviting visitors to relax and relax with us for over 5 years. Located amidst Charleston’s vibrant King Street social scene, the old Cannon Street home contains 4 apartments and the King Street complex has 6 units lined up in a row beside our cavernous rooftop patio - which is accessible at all times, and for solely the use of our guests.

How to book the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Charleston area area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan 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 property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book the right Charleston area rental:

• First, have your family select the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Sleek condo with a full kitchen, balcony, & rooftop deck has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
