About this property

Newly Listed: Charming home in historic dwtn, walk to shops/parks, Free parking

High end renovation of this Charleston historic home was completed in June 2019. King sized bed in front bedroom and Queen sized in back bedroom. The house has top end finishings including re-milled original Heart Pine floors, glass wall shower in masters bedroom, a tub/shower in the spare bedroom, marble bathroom countertops and butcher block countertops in kitchen, to name a few features. This fully furnished duplex house is a spacious 2 bedroom 2.5 bath 1100 sqft per unit. The bedrooms have blinds and blackout curtains. This is for the downstairs unit A. Access is at the private front door on the front porch or at the back parking lot on the back porch. Off street parking for 2 cars per each unit A and B. Off street parking is hard to come by in this part of the city. The back parking is very private and surrounded by fencing. We are pet friendly and charge a pet fee. Once you're settled in the house is walking distance to many attractions like the The Ravenel Bridge, Cigar Factory, Marion Square, King St, Meeting St, Visitors Center, and many restaurants and bars and parks. The house is located in the Eastside neighborhood which is becoming one of the most desirable areas of the city to live. Many homes in this area are being renovated along with large development projects by national development companies. The largest current project on the Charleston Peninsula is the Evening Post Courier Square development. This property is 2 blocks away and a multi million dollar Phase 6 project focused on both residential and commercial community. 15 years ago this neighborhood was overlooked by the majority of locals and visitors, but today it's now becoming the area many are moving to and or visiting. 5 years ago I would tell my renters at my other properties in the neighborhood that the area is "Up and Coming", now I tell renters the neighborhood is "Up and Came". It's still a great area to invest so if you're looking for an opportunity I can assist you in that matter since that's what I do professionally, real estate renovation and investments. I currently own 5 houses in the Eastside neighborhood. The neighborhood is so convenient to the city as a whole. You are centrally located with a main artery, Meeting St a block away to be able to get uptown or downtown quickly without the historical downtown area's grid lock traffic. With in walking distance to many of the city's attractions you can walk to the Ravenel Bridge, Visitors Center, Marion Square, MUSC, College of Charleston, Cigar Factory, Martin Luther King public pool, Upper King St where there are the newest hippest restaurants/bars/breweries. But most importantly the history of this neighborhood gives you a real sense of community. This neighborhood is where locals live and have lived for decades. It's not a fabricated neighborhood, it's got soul and charm and real beauty and it's only getting better. The potential has not been met and only a few more years for the whole area to be developed. Come stay at my property and be apart of this transformation. I have all my rental properties cleared and blessed for the soul purpose of creating harmony for my renters because I believe our homes should be a sacred safe haven. Home clearings and blessings will release negative energy from the living space. All dwellings and land on earth are a repository for our energetic debris, affecting anyone who lives in any domicile. Have you ever passed through a room or building and immediately felt
uncomfortable? The feelings and emotions that we experience when we enter a room are the energies left by previous inhabitants. When we vacate the premises, we add to the energetic mix. Therefore, the negative energetic debris of anger, fear, frustration, violence, and depression are more readily absorbed. By removing unwanted and unintended energy from your space, you create mental and emotional balance. A mental state of well-being, lightness, and clarity follow. Thus allowing a home or business to feel much more peaceful and calm.

We are pet friendly but we charge a $100-$150-$250 pet fee “per pet” depending on length of stay. If you bring a pet/s we need to know what types and their size. Also, very important your pets nails are groomed since we have “Heart Pine” hardwood floors and want to avoid excessive scratching and normal wear and tear. Please pick up after your pet if they use the driveway and bag it before discarding in the trash can. Pets are not permitted on the beds/couch, but I know that’s not 100% certain so if you do have a pet that jumps on beds/couches please use the blankets in the unit or bring extra blankets to cover them. If possible crate your pet while gone. Also if you have a pet that sheds a lot you are responsible to do a cleaning of the fur before check out. A quick vacuum or sweep might be needed on your part so it doesn’t overwhelm the cleaners. An extra cleaning fee ($150) will apply if excess pet fur is left in the unit on the floor/bedding/furniture/outside porches. Keep in mind the original pet fee is not necessarily for extra cleaning. The fee is set just to allow your pet on the property not to cover the cleaning due to your pet. So excess fur inside and outside of the house would be where this extra charge comes into effect. If you have a dog/s that barks excessively when you’re not there this may not be the house for you since there is a unit above. Be conscious of this since we don’t want to disturb the other renters. You know your pet/s best so please keep this in mind. If you bring a pet and do not let us know we’ll charge double the pet fee and reserve the right to ask you to leave without a refund. It’s very important we know if pets are on property.

Great Getaway

Great place/location for a getaway weekend! The house is beautifully renovated and in a neighborhood that is currently under renovation. Anything one would want to do is within walking distance. There are many restaurant options nearby and plenty of shops for those in need of retail therapy. The home is well equipped to handle the preparation and service of home cooked meals. The beds are comfortable and linens were clean and fresh. The only downside to the stay was the state of the outdoor grill which is due for a replacement. I look forward to booking this place a few years from now to see how the area has changed with the renovations and new construction.

Great Vacation Getaway

Hidden gem in an up & coming neighborhood that is being revitalized. Rental was exactly as pictured. Communication with host was great- eased our fears after the hurricane had passed thru. Not far from historic Charleston so everything was easy to get to.

Beautiful house, but a few caveats

Booked this house for annual girls trip. Let me preface by saying our stay was mostly decent, but we had a few issues/concerns. House has been beautifully renovated and suited our needs perfectly. Beds were comfortable and the house was mostly clean. We did see mold spots on one bathroom shower curtain and inside the washer door. Unfortunately, the first night (Thursday), we encountered roaches throughout the house. I contacted the host the next morning (Friday) and he responded promptly. He advised us that he would have a pest control company come spray that afternoon, which we assumed happened. However, the spraying didn't seem to be effective, as we continued to encounter multiple live roaches throughout the house (Saturday). I contacted the host again (Sunday) to let him know we were still having issues and he stated he would come to the house and personally spray again, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, it didn't help, as we continued to see roaches until our stay ended, which was Monday morning. Our other concern was that the neighborhood appeared really sketchy. We assumed that being just a few blocks from the main streets, we would be able to walk to wherever we wanted; however, when we asked a local law enforcement official, he emphatically advised us not to walk anywhere in this neighborhood, either during the day OR the night. That was definitely concerning to us. There is development in the area, so maybe this will change. Also, as we were sitting on the side porch one night, we noticed a drone fly back and forth multiple times; at one point, it stopped and hovered for several minutes watching us! That really creeped us out. While I appreciated our host's prompt attention to the issue, roaches are just not acceptable. Even though the house is beautiful, due to all the issues/concerns we had, I'm sorry to say that I would most likely not recommend staying here.

Great place in good location

Great place for friends trip! Well stocked kitchen that we made use of for cooking dinner one night. The beds were comfy and shower in the main bathroom was awesome. The unit is located very close to King Street and is walkable to the majority of Charleston. The neighborhood is a little noisy sometimes and being on the bottom unit also leads to hearing the upstairs neighbors. But thankfully you can still get a good night of sleep. Also there is a noise machine if you need it which we didn't notice until the last day. Having a parking spot was very helpful as one of our friends drove to Charleston. I would stay here if I come back to Charleston.

Loved our stay

We were in town to move my daughter into College of Charleston. We stayed for a week so that we could be there for her birthday as well. We had our two dogs with us for a few of the days. The home is beautifully designed and decorated. It has everything you need and made us feel very comfortable. We honestly could not say enough nice things about our stay. The location was perfect for us for this event. The parking is off street which is fabulous but can be a touch challenging, you just have to take your time moving your vehicle. The neighborhood is "up and coming" so there are still some homes that need renovations but we had not one moment of anything feeling unsettling. We walked our dogs and it was always a pleasant walk. As I've said, it was a wonderful experience and I can see us staying there many times on our visits. I can only hope that it is available as it will surely book out quickly. Thank you Michael for the wonderful hosting and your beautiful property.

Excellent property in Charleston

Close walk to restaurants and bars. The house was very nice and clean. We stayed with our 2 children who had their own room/bathroom/TV. Property had ample parking and we were able to easily fit our Jeep Wrangler. Although we encountered no issues during our stay walking at night there are a few boarded up/abandoned houses around and I would not be comfortable letting my kids/wife walk alone at night. Main roads are very close though with lots of people around. Also there were plenty of college kids walking around as well. Overall I would recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Elder

Host profile image
I was involved in the complete renovation of this historic Charleston home that took 6 months to complete from demolition to cities final inspections, under the Board of Architectural Review (BAR). I own 4 other houses in the Eastside neighborhood that are blocks away from this home. So if you have other friends and family that want to join you on your trip I could have accommodations available.

Why they chose this property

The house has great bones and had the opportunity to add new construction off the back of the house.
