This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

*If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*

My husband and two older kids (20 & 15) stayed here on our way to the beach for vacation. We loved the location of this place and how cute and clean it was! It was nice giving our kids their own rooms, too, (equipped with something other than a twin bed)which can be hard to find. Definitely recommend staying here if visiting Charleston.
