Live like a local in this show-stopping three bedroom, two bath apartment located in downtown Charleston. Housed in an historic home dating to 1852, every detail of the rental was completely refreshed in from 2011-2018 to feature antique heart pine floor, tongue and groove walls, European hardware dating to the original period of the home, a entirely bespoke kitchen, brand new washer and dryer, and more.

The floorplan is ideal for socializing with an open concept living room and eat-in kitchen on one end with the three bedrooms on the opposite end. The living room and kitchen look out high over Cannon street, one of Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood’s most vibrant streets, home to many fashionable stores and eateries all just steps from the rental.

The chef-ready bespoke kitchen features high-end kitchen appliances sourced in Europe that make it convenient to whip up any meal – although with so many great eateries within blocks of the rental, it may be hard to resist the many close by culinary options. Off of this living room/kitchen area is a classic Charleston porch, a veranda, offering guests an outdoor area to visit and people watch.

All three bedrooms boast comfortable queen beds with plush linens. Two of the three bedrooms feature full ensuite bathrooms (shower and toilet – no bathtubs). One of the two bathrooms opens both to the bedroom as well as the hallway, accepting the third bedroom to access the bathroom from the hallway just off the bedroom.

The rental is located on the second floor (spiral staircase!) of the home and is one of three units we offer within the home. Please inquire if interested in booking more than one rental and we’d be happy to try to accommodate bigger events throughout our other units. One onsite parking spot is available for the rental behind the home – with room to park one more car for $20 per day across the street in a parking lot that we lease as needed.

Absolutely no events or late-nighttime noise will be tolerated.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Book your Charleston area vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Stay in an 1852 Antebellum Mansion Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
