Historic 1905 Charming Bungalow 2 Blocks From King
Summary:
Stay at our beautifully renovated flagship property under The Dunes brand! We acquired this amazing 1905 Charleston Victorian duplex home in the heart of the popular and trendy Cannonborough neighborhood in September 2019 and completely renovated with professional interior design in January 2022. Just 2 blocks from King Street, this rear unit bungalow offers 2 bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, a queen sleeper sofa and 1 bathroom with tub.
The Space:
This rear unit, Driftwood Cottage at the Dunes on Spring, is 730 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The polished pine hardwood floors are reminiscent of the early 1900s while the decor lends a chic and trendy atmosphere. Bright and private, this bungalow boasts new appliances and a washer and dryer for a perfect home away from home.

🏙️ Noise Notice:
Our home is in a vibrant neighborhood just steps from King Street’s dining and nightlife. While that energy is part of the experience, city noise may be heard. Please be advised that:
⭐️ A local noise ordinance is in effect from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
⭐️ Guests must be respectful of neighbors during these hours.
⭐️ We do not offer refunds for noise-related issues that are to be expected of the location.
⭐️ By booking, you acknowledge and accept this city setting and the potential for ambient noise.
🧑🔧 To help us ensure a great stay, guests must allow us the chance to address any issues during their visit.
Refunds will not be issued for concerns reported after checkout or when resolution efforts are declined.
🏠 We do not control neighboring properties and cannot offer refunds due to dissatisfaction with external factors.
🔌 We do not provide refunds for utility outages or service interruptions that are outside of our control.
❄️ Charleston homes are built for a subtropical climate, and since many are older, severe cold snaps may affect both water temperature and indoor heating.
🧹 If damage or excessive cleaning is required after checkout, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee equivalent to a full cleaning.
🚗 Please note that we cannot assume responsibility for vehicles parked outside the designated parking areas.
🚫 Please note that we will not make exceptions to the cancellation policy associated with your reservation.
🌀 Hurricane Policy / Extenuating Circumstances:
⭐️ In the event that a Mandatory Evacuation Order is issued for our county by the Governor of South Carolina during your stay, we will provide a full refund of all payments made.
⭐️ If no such order is issued, our standard cancellation policy remains in effect, even if weather elsewhere impacts your travel plans.
⭐️ We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance, especially during hurricane season, for added peace of mind.
✅ By confirming your booking, you agree to the Rental Agreement Policy available on our company website.
📞 If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to reach out prior to your stay.
