Resort Description:

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 including visitors with all the modern-day amenities and comforts. Accommodations at the resort include inviting studios, bigger 1-bedroom suites and lofts for up to 4 visitors, and cavernous 2 bedroom town homes that can sleep up to 6 visitors.

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 beauty in the common living areas with a boutique accommodations experience.

The Lodge Alley Inn is comfortably 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 new-baked cookies and sherry. For a four-star meal and an voluminous wine selection, dine at the neighboring High Cotton restaurant, a winner of Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence since 2003.

After dinner, take a casual 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 comfortable loft, or climb into a four-poster bed

These guides may provide an excellent start to your rental home search.
• Willing to change your trip dates? The off-peak seasons will offer you great rates on weekly rental properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the U.S. Military may be qualified for discounted rates. Make sure to check with vacation rental company to see if your visiting gang is eligible for a reduction.

General Rental property Advice

You might be shocked to find out how many vacation rentals are available at your destination. Rental accommodations have gained in popularity with the rise of global research sites like Tripadvisor and VRBO.

Nearly all rental properties in Charleston area are privately owned and many are represented by established local property management companies. Owners often select management companies to assist with online marketing, house cleaning and routine maintenance.

Here are some ideas and methods to help you understand the rental search and booking process.

How to find and reserve the right rental property:

Do you think "The Lodge Alley Inn™ - 1 BD Stairs" is the perfect vacation property for your next getaway? Browse through this checklist to confirm it fits all of your preferences.

The Sooner You Start, The Better The Selection

Charleston area rentals start booking very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months in advance is usually recommended, whenever possible. A lot of households decide to begin their search over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holiday gatherings.

Choose a Town and Date

Consensus can be complicated between family, but as soon as this tricky part is finished everything will quickly fall in place.

Choosing an Appropriately-Sized Rental

Keep a list of attendees. How many beds and bedrooms will you be needing? Be mindful that many properties advertise maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in the living area. You'll need to figure out what is acceptable for the company. Generally rental home listings will outline each of the unit's specific bedrooms and mattresses.

Stick to a Budget

The majority of rentals are presented with a cost range. Confirm the rate for your preferred week. It could be at the high end of the range. If multiple individuals or families are sharing the cost, always make sure that each group understands their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are willing to contribute. One individual in your company will have to be in charge of collecting contributions and agreeing to responsibility for the entire rental payment at time of booking.

Make a List of "Wants" and "Necessities"

What property features is your family interested in? Is a screened porch a necessity? Are you more enthusiastic about a natural landscape or nightlife? Are linens offered with the rental contract, or do you need to take your own? Make a list of priority amenities to help filter your search.

Accessibility and Special Issues to consider

Appropriate accessibility could make or break a trip for the less-mobile. Make sure to remember and inquire about wheel chair access, pool lifts and special equipment requirements..

Go ahead and Take the Dog

Are you or other members of the group traveling with a family dog? Even though quite a few rentals permit family pets, guidelines and fees fluctuate per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be controlled. Study your agreement carefully! Extra fees or deposits may be applied to your contract. Ask questions *prior to* you book!

Where to Search

Several websites exist to match visitors with rental owners.. In combination with Homeaway, VRBO and Tripadvisor, we suggest searching Google for "Charleston area local vacation rentals" for local property management companies. Local agencies will have an exclusive selection of vacation homes daily and weekly.

Negotiate the Price

When you have identified your dream rental, double check to make sure your vacation dates are available.

Some property owners will negotiate prices, and some will not. If they are hesitant to budge on a peak-season stay, try getting an extra night. The off-season offers your greatest chance to make a deal for a lower rate.

During your Stay

• To ensure no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any trouble spots of the rental. Contact the property manager immediately to report your observations.

We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible (this isn't always the case).. If the property owner is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your vacation? Nearly all rental property sites request feedback after your stay is complete. Property owners and property managers will appreciate your positive critiques. If anything was disagreeable and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or when the vacation rental wasn't as described, you may want to make it a point in your comments.
