Appreciate the amenities and coziness of this classic & pristine 31 foot Hunter sailboat home on the water at the Charleston City Marina - named National Marina of the Year! With unobstructed water vistas and the most amazing evening sunsets, I look forward to welcoming you on board and accepting you to experience life on the water the way it should be; as there is nothing better than sipping your morning coffee dockside with the dolphins. With a prime downtown location, walking distance to King Street and the Historic Downtown Battery, this vessel is one of the most sought after vessels on the water in Downtown Charleston, SC! Ten miles to Folly Beach!

The Space
◾️Thoughtfully laid out with premium furnishings and designed for stay-aboard comfort. The main outside deck features unobstructed water vistas and includes seating for up to 8 guests. Deck lighting, outdoor speakers and plush outdoor pillows and blankets provide for an marvelous outdoor escape with the dolphins and ocean life.

◾️This pristine and completely air conditioned home on the water provides two bedrooms with full-sized bed equivalents and one bathroom. The bedrooms are comfortable for couples, but may be on the smallish size for "friends." Additionally, there are two couches in the living room. Wireless internet, a flat screen TV with full cable, along with USB ports for charging electronic devices is available.

◾️The kitchen is equipped with a coffee maker, a microwave, a modest refrigerator, plates, cups, mugs, silverware and everything you would need for some snacks or a light breakfast. Fresh local coffee, a variety of Quaker oatmeal, premium snacks and chilled bottled water are included with your stay.

◾️During the colder months, a heated cabin and the world's softest Berkshire blankets provide a very comfortable outdoor experience while still appreciating the waterfront and ocean life. During Baseball season, you will have prime viewing for River Dogs' Fireworks on Friday Nights from the deck of the boat.


Getting Around
◾️The marina is on the west side of the Charleston City peninsula, centrally located and is only a 10-15 min. walk to many attractions downtown.

◾️The marina offers a COMPLIMENTARY shuttle downtown on the hour from 8am to 5pm in the winter and until 8 pm in the summer. Secure/gated parking is available on site at the marina for $18.00 per day. If you take your car in and out of the parking lot, multiple times, the marina charges $1.00 per half hour.

◾️Public transportation on the city busses and trolleys is complimentary and available daily until 8pm. Cabs and UBER/LYFT provide great options as well.


Overview
◾️Operating on Airbnb since June 2016 and Vacation Rental By Owner since June 2020, this vessel has over 250+ 5-Star Reviews on Airbnb and is one of the most sought after listings on the water in downtown Charleston, SC.

◾️By confirming your reservation today, you will be afforded a premium downtown location, state-of-the-art facilities and comprehensive amenities complemented by classic Southern hospitality of a skilled professional staff working to ensure that Charleston City Marina maintains its stature as one of the East Coast's premier travel and boating destinations.

Other Things to Note
◾️Bring comfortable shoes and pack light because the vessel is a 5 to 7 min. walk along the alluring docks from the gated parking lot/private guest shower suites. It's worth the walk - your view is the very best at the marina!

◾️Guests are required to remove their shoes prior to boarding the vessel.

◾️The marina has onsite laundry, bathrooms and (10) private guest shower suites, which are all accessible with the supplied key swipe. I request that guests utilize the marinas exceptionally well maintained, climate controlled private guest shower suites in lieu of the shower on board the vessel (Ten Full Sized Showers with Sink,Mirror and outlets). There is of course a toilet, sink (cold and hot running water), mirror and an array of toiletries and freshly laundered premium towels and wash cloths available on board the vessel.

During Your Stay
◾️I will give you verbal and written instructions to make caring for the vessel during your stay as painless as possible. Should the need arise, either myself or my partner will be available 24/7 to assist you during your stay.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Charleston vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
  • Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
  • Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
  • Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the best rental in the Charleston area area:

  • Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Sleep on a Boat \/ Historic Downtown Charleston has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
  • Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
  • Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

  • Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
  • During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did your group have a great stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
