Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“Zhyldyz was an amazing hosts! The home was really well set up for our needs of a fun weekend in Charleston but would also be perfect for a work from home week. It was well stocked with all the things you need and the beds were supper comfortable. They always responded to our questions in a timely fashion and were so nice about any adjustments we needed to make. We would definitely stay there again in the future!” - Jonathan

“We had an outstanding experience! Z and Flo were very accommodating, helpful and kind hosts. The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood was quiet. Many walkable places to shop, eat and sightsee. The house was exactly as pictured and described. Spotless and very up to date. Relaxing with a chill open floor plan. Games and books included. Technology was modern and the tv had lots of apps. Great parking included. Neighborhood is up and coming!” - Elizabeth

“Great time staying here! Very clean and super close to everything. 10/10 recommend!” - Christian

The first bedroom is separated from the main living area by a room divider and features stunning art pieces to elevate the ambiance of the space.

The second bedroom also features beautiful art and a charming barn door to add to the timeless elegance of this home.

You’ll also find a pull-out sofa and an air mattress to provide ultimate comfort for your group. Please let us know the exact number of guests who will be staying with you so we can prepare the right amount of bedding.

When you’re not eating at one of the many great restaurants that are just a short walk away, you’ll be able to whip up a quick meal at this mid-century home. The kitchen offers lovely wooden countertops, high-quality appliances, and designer stoneware dishes to serve your meals in style.

Enjoy your meals around the charming wooden dining table, which has seating for six guests. The open living area makes it easy to converse with your group from different areas of the unit.

The bright lounge is the perfect place to relax after you’ve spent a day strolling on King St. or shopping at local antique shops. This timeless space is designed with Blu Dot, Kartell, and Normann Copenhagen furniture, so you can take advantage of the luxurious and modern furnishings.

Sit back on the comfortable sofa and watch a show on the flat-screen Roku TV, which has HBO, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. When you’re not watching TV, enjoy the classic charm of this space and admire the beautiful artwork. The pieces on display range from the Austrian Secession period to the Turkish Ottoman Empire period and include a local modern-day artist, Shepard Fairey, for good measure.

Quiet Neighborhood - Great Location

The big windows and doors to the street can be intimidating, but the neighborhood is actually very quiet and very conveniently located. We walked to the visitor center and took the free bus around town. The VRBO was clean (but no handsoap in the bathroom - empty). I would recommend having a guidebook or where to find everything. The towels were hidden but we found them. Everything else we needed was there and hospitality snacks and drinks were provided. Overall, very pleased and Florian was very responsive. THANK YOU!

Great location, and as a very special bonus there is a driveway!! The neighborhood is a little “transitional”, but it doesn’t feel dangerous. Quiet at night even with some late night student neighbors. This was the perfect place to stay for the weekend.

Very nice inside the house, not a good location if you want to walk

The house was very nice and very clean. The owners go above and beyond making sure everything is available for your travel. The only part that we did not enjoy was the constant presence of not feeling safe when we walked to our car. We walked to King street once, and did not feel safe, so we had to Uber the reamaining times. There were 2 arrests that were made, on two separate occasions, when we were trying to leave the house on the corner of block. Again, the inside of the house was clean and well stocked, just make sure you are aware of your surroundings when you go outside.

My wife and I would 100% recommend staying here to anyone! The communication between Florian and Zhyldyz was seamless. They helped with every question we had and kept in touch to make sure our stay was as perfect as could be. The entire place was very clean/well maintained as well as being walking distance from all of the shops and café's. When we come back to Charleston, we already know that this will be the place to stay at again!

Charleston enjoyment

Super great location with an easy, flat walk to downtown. Little bit over a mile to walk to city center but was able to enjoy the surrounding areas a long the way. Had a difficulty getting the door to unlock and was immediately taken care of by the owner. Clean and such a great vibe! Look forward to staying here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Florian Auckenthaler

Host profile image
Florian and Zhyldyz (Zyzy) are professionals in their 40s, they enjoy traveling and hosting and open to new ideas. They were quiet annoyed by other hosts asking to clean after charging guests a cleaning fee, their dream was to run a vacation rental and not ask their guests to clean after themselves.

Why they chose this property

They bought this property in 2018, it was built in 1854, little loft bedroom now was a grocery store for half a century. Fully renovated, equipped with modern appliances, industrial AC unit, high vaulted ceilings and original wet pine floors Bright House has now a different purpose, it is your home from home away.

What makes this property unique

2 streets away from the Cigar Factory, Cedar room where most weddings happen, 2 blocks away from King street, this gem is hidden from the loud King street and Spring street traffic, where most vacation rentals are located. You can experience a dynamic city's daily life and see true Charleston when you choose Bright House and a free 2 car parking lot is an extra bonus, if you are driving or renting .
