Take a step back in time with a stay at The Lodge Alley Inn in the heart of old Charleston, the cultural capital of the South, where layers of history await your discovery. The resort is actually a collection of 18th century warehouses that have been lovingly restored to preserve their history while also providing guests with all the modern-day amenities and conveniences. Accommodations at the resort include comfortable studios, bigger 1-bedroom suites and lofts for up to 4 guests, and roomy 2 bedroom town homes that can sleep up to 6 guests.

This Charleston landmark reflects its rich European heritage with its original pine floors and red brick walls, thick Oriental carpets, period reproductions and intimate parlors with fireplaces. The Victorian-style suites blend old-world appeal in the common living areas with a boutique accommodations experience.

The Lodge Alley Inn is conveniently located just steps from Charleston Harbor, the Market and Rainbow Row. Once the valet parks your car, let our concierge arrange a historic walking tour or a horse-drawn carriage to take you around town.

After sightseeing, return to the Inn for complimentary fresh-baked cookies and sherry. For a four-star meal and an broad wine selection, dine at the neighboring High Cotton restaurant, a winner of Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence since 2003.

After dinner, take a leisurely walk around the historic district or just relax in the courtyard and chat by the fountain. Upon returning to your room, relax in the ambience of Charleston’s long history, ascend a spiral staircase to a cozy loft, or climb into a four-poster bed

Charleston vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to book a Charleston area rental & When to go:

Summertime is high season in Charleston. Booking in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
Look for your local Charleston area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Charleston area vacation home:

Start by selecting your a vacation week and a max budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Study at The Lodge Alley Inn has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
