A great way to "get away from it all" in Charleston. Savor this cavernous 1064 square foot bungalow located in a gorgeously landscaped private garden setting.

Delightfully furnished, always spotlessly clean with a well-furnished full kitchen...and completely away from the hordes. The bungalow is a complimentary-standing self-contained private accommodation in a beautiful garden setting with off street parking.

Only four miles from the Historic District the Cottage is close to Middleton and Magnolia Gardens, Drayton Hall, Charles Towne Landing, McLeod Plantation, the Intracoastal Waterway and 20 mins. from Folly Beach. The ten mile long West Ashley Greenway is just two blocks away. It's great for walking and cycling. Our own private garden with koi pond and waterfall is also a nice place to relax.

Getting out of the downtown crowd accepts our guests to relax and savor a 1064 square foot bungalow with TWO Queen size beds in ONE 25' X 12' bedroom and a enormous living area. The property has an incredible kitchen with granite countertops and a huge living area where guests can share a meal and some quality time together.

If you want to go downtown it's five mins. away. If you want to walk the gardens, ride or walk the greenway or just stare out across a charming Intracoastal waterway view you can do that right here in West Ashley on your own schedule. All of these options are between 2 and 15 mins. away. Many eateries in the area deliver independently or participate with GrubHub and UberEats.

The Cottage is located in the DuPont section of West Ashley on Wappoo Road between the West Ashley Greenway and the Stono River Overlook ICW at the Edgewater Park Bridge. The building faces a private garden behind a privacy gate and is completely separate from the owners' home which is also on the property. We are located two miles from the Avondale entertainment district and four miles to downtown Charleston and the Medical District.

We appreciate interacting with guests, but we also believe in giving people their space. All arrangements can be made online and contact-complimentary. We are generally available during the day between 8AM and 7PM and we are happy to assist you with local information or any special needs. The Cottage at DuPont is a completely licensed short term rental accommodation in the City of Charleston. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW FAMILY PETS, CHILDREN, SMOKING OR EVENTS OF ANY KIND.

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

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Charleston area vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Cottage at DuPont. Privacy and Space in a Park-like Setting. has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Record any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to 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.
