Other things to note
NEED MORE SPACE?
We currently have 5 other units available. The upstairs of this building is The Poppy Suite (3BD/1BA). And half block away, there are 2 duplexes that are side-by-side. The green duplex has The Emerson Suite (top floor-3bd/1ba w/balcony) and The Charles Suite (first floor-2bd/1ba) and next door, the white duplex has The Harper Suite (top floor-3bd/1ba w/large balcony) and The Victoria Suite (first floor-3bd/2ba w/large porch). These two properties share a large professionally turfed backyard.

QUIET HOURS
Please note that this listing is situated on the first floor of a beautifully restored historic duplex. Although extensive renovations have been carried out, it is possible to hear occasional noise from the unit above. To ensure a peaceful and comfortable environment, sound machines have been thoughtfully provided in each bedroom. We kindly request that all guests show consideration towards one another by honoring our community's designated "quiet hours" between 10pm and 7am. By being mindful of noise levels during these times, we can maintain a harmonious atmosphere and ensure a restful stay for everyone.

EVENTS
Access to the property is restricted to only those individuals included in the reservation, unless prior arrangements have been made and agreed upon.

NON SMOKING
For the comfort and well-being of all guests, our property maintains a strict no-smoking policy. Smoking is prohibited on-site, and any violation of this policy will result in a charge of $250. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a smoke-free environment.

PRE-APPROVED DOGS WELCOME
We wholeheartedly embrace our furry friends! We gladly welcome pups to join you during your stay, with an additional fee of $80 per dog, and a maximum of two dogs per reservation. Because you will be staying in a recently renovated unit within a property that may have other guests, we kindly request that all dogs are well-behaved, trained, and considerate towards fellow humans. To maintain cleanliness and hygiene, we kindly ask that pets refrain from accessing the bed, uncovered furniture, and encourage the use of a crate when you are not present, if you believe it is necessary. By bringing your pet, you acknowledge and accept full responsibility and liability for their actions and any potential damages.

CAMERA SECURITY
To ensure the safety and security of our property, we have installed exterior cameras. We want to reassure our guests that the footage captured by Ring cameras is strictly confidential and does not violate their privacy expectations. It is important to note that tampering with or obstructing the cameras is strictly prohibited. Any guest found attempting to disable or obscure the cameras may face immediate eviction without a refund. Our intention is solely to maintain a secure environment for everyone's peace of mind.

INCLEMENT WEATHER
We have a strict cancellation policy in place. Refunds will only be issued if mandatory evacuations are ordered by The National Weather Service or local government authorities. Please keep in mind that refunds will not be provided if inclement weather in other states prevents guests from reaching Charleston. We highly recommend travelers to consider obtaining travel insurance, especially during months when weather conditions may impact their stay. Furthermore, in the unlikely event of power outages, internet disruptions, or any other situations beyond our control caused by local storms, we will make every effort to resolve the issues promptly. However, we regret that we cannot offer refunds for any inconveniences caused by such circumstances.

Perfect girls’ getaway stay

Great property, great location!

The property was as described, very nice and extremely spacious. The unit was well maintained, decorated awesome and stocked with everything you could need. The property was within walking distance of the main shopping and dinning area. This was about a 10 to 15 minute walk to all the action. Brandy was very helpful and provided a wealth of information for our stay. The property is also in a good location for a quick drive to any of the surrounding beaches.

Good location

Although just off an occasionally busy road the location was ok, with a choice of coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. Our group of 4 found the kitchen and dining area a bit small but two of the bedrooms were a good size. A third bedroom was a bit noisy with large aircon unit right outside window. Bathrooms were also on the small side but very clean and functional. Decent place for a short stay.

Great house for two couples and three teens!

We loved our stay here with friends - four adults and three teens. It was a perfect size for us and the property is very cute. We were able to walk to several fun restaurants and had no trouble parking on the street in front of the house. (We're not 100% sure if we were legally parked there, but it seemed to work. We didn't get towed or booted ; ) The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with - we would stay here again. Love Charleston!...

Beautiful Charleston home (1st floor of 2-story home)

Very beautiful property. All the supplied were there, particularly for kids. Pack'n'play and high chair notably. Pets permitted (owners provided a sofa cover blanket to put over the sofa for our dog). Washer/dryer nice to have. The guide book and information on local restaurants, bars, museums, and activities was very helpful. Kitchen well-stocked for cooking with everything you'll need. Fridge/freezer was one of these modern small ones, but enough space for a week's worth of food prep and storage. In terms of upstairs guests and potential noise, the only issue is whether dogs left at home when owners are away should be crated or not. The rental did not specify rules on this. The dog upstairs would be very loud when its owners were out of the unit. Not just barking but walking/running back and forth on the wood floors. Our dog was crated at the back of the house (no noise) when we were out of the unit. Lovely location in a cute neighborhood with many dining options, including great variety and high quality. Roughly 30-minute walk to main historical district. Pedi-cabs, rideshares, and bikeshares were used by many in the neighborhood to get back and forth to the historical district. Though the walk is very lovely. Very safe and easy to get around.

We loved our stay at this great property! The decor is charming and the beds are super comfortable plus the kitchen had what we needed to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. We were able to step out and either walk everywhere or hop on a Lime bike from the rack just down the street. We would definitely stay here again!

After 15 years as a 4th Grade Teacher and Educational Technology Specialist, I have transitioned full time to operating our 6 beautiful vacation homes.

Why they chose this property

This spacious home sleeps 8 and we just LOVE our neighborhood! Tucked back off Spring Street, our home is located walking distance to lots of restaurants and coffee shops (132 Spring, Chasing Sage, Chubby Fish, and Estadio are a few favorites!). By foot, it’ll take you 10 minutes to get to King St. and 20 to get to Marion Square, but of course you can grab an Uber or pedicab. There are also electric bike stations all over the city, one of which is on our block. 15 minutes in a car and you’ll be at the beach!
