The Space: Get the inside scoop on what it’s like to live in the heart of Downtown Charleston at our 2-story home, “The Sheppard” - with 8bd/8ba and two units in total this home would be ideal for bigger groups/families of up to 16 people. Located just off of King Street, so parking and proximity are no issue here.

Please note, if you are noise sensitive this home is located next to the crosstown intersection. This is a busy road that can have cars traveling on it at any hour throughout the day.

FIRST FLOORING
As you step inside the first-floor home, you’ll find yourself in the open-concept living/dining room - which features a cozy dining room table for two, a lounge area, and a sizeable HDTV to enhance your stay. The ideal place to hang out and watch a movie or share some laughs over a meal. Just past the living area, you will find the kitchen which has been completely outfitted with all your basic cooking/kitchenware necessities. The kitchen also includes additional seating for three at the countertop, so between this space, the living/dining room, and the second floor, you’ll have plenty of room to spread out during meals. Also on the first level, you have 4 bedrooms and bathrooms located just down the hall from the common areas. Three of which have been adorned with comfortable king-sized beds and are accompanied by their own private ensuite for those moments when you need a little escape (parents, this one’s for you). The fourth bedroom features a plush queen-size bed and all the beachy vibes you could need. Right outside in the hallway, there is an additional full bathroom to be shared between this room and the common areas on this floor as needed.

SECOND FLOORING
The second floor of this home is accessed through a private outdoor stairway off the front porch. The Sheppard can be divided into two units for those with smaller groups, so you will notice that in addition to the common areas downstairs, this floor has a kitchen, living, and dining area of its own. Similar to the downstairs, the living areas feature an open-concept layout - where you will find plenty of seating for the whole crowd including a dining table seated for three + seating for four at the countertop, a comfortable lounge area, and another HD flatscreen TV. On top of all that, this floor also has its own kitchen which has been supplied with all the basic cooking/kitchenware necessities - double the kitchen double the fun, am I right? The other 4 bedrooms and bathrooms of the home are located just down the hall from the common areas on the second floor. Three of the rooms have opulent king-sized beds and are accompanied by their own private ensuite (which have all been freshly refreshed with modern furnishings/appliances). The fourth bedroom features a plush queen-size bed and all the good vibes you could need - from the fun green side tables to the bright color scheme that surrounds it. Back in the hallway, you will also find another full bathroom to be shared between this room and the common areas located in the hallway + a washer-dryer set just in case you need to do a load during your stay.

Guests will have access to the entire 1st and 2nd floor spaces along with all the appliances and amenities included with the listing.

You can pull your car off the street and into the parking lot, which makes packing and unpacking a breeze. IF YOU PARK IN THE INCORRECT SPOT, YOU MAY BE TOWED. STAY DUVET DOES NOT MANAGE THE LOT NEXT TO THE BUILDING!

Tips to get the perfect Charleston vacation home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer is high season in the Charleston area area. Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and choosing the best Charleston area rental home:

• First, have your group choose trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Sheppard House by StayDuvet! has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
