About this property
Sleep on a Boat / Historic Downtown Charleston
Enjoy the comforts and coziness of this classic & pristine 31 foot Hunter sailboat home on the water at the Charleston City Marina - named National Marina of the Year! With unobstructed water views and the most incredible evening sunsets, I look forward to welcoming you on board and allowing you to experience life on the water the way it should be; as there is nothing better than sipping your morning coffee dockside with the dolphins. With a prime downtown location, walking distance to King Street and the Historic Downtown Battery, this vessel is one of the most sought after vessels on the water in Downtown Charleston, SC! Ten miles to Folly Beach!
The Space
◾️Thoughtfully laid out with premium furnishings and designed for stay-aboard comfort. The main outside deck features unobstructed water views and includes seating for up to 8 guests. Deck lighting, outdoor speakers and plush outdoor pillows and blankets provide for an incredible outdoor escape with the dolphins and ocean life.
◾️This pristine and fully air conditioned home on the water provides two bedrooms with full-sized bed equivalents and one bathroom. The bedrooms are comfortable for couples, but may be on the smallish size for "friends." Additionally, there are two couches in the living room. Wireless internet, a flat screen television with full cable, along with USB ports for charging electronic devices is available.
◾️The kitchen is equipped with a coffee maker, a microwave, a small refrigerator, plates, cups, mugs, silverware and everything you would need for some snacks or a light breakfast. Fresh local coffee, a variety of Quaker oatmeal, premium snacks and chilled bottled water are included with your stay.
◾️During the colder months, a heated cabin and the world's softest Berkshire blankets provide a very comfortable outdoor experience while still enjoying the waterfront and ocean life. During Baseball season, you will have prime viewing for River Dogs' Fireworks on Friday Nights from the deck of the boat.
Getting Around
◾️The marina is on the west side of the Charleston City peninsula, centrally located and is only a 10-15 minute walk to many attractions downtown.
◾️The marina offers a FREE shuttle downtown on the hour from 8am to 5pm in the winter and until 8 pm in the summer. Secure/gated parking is available on site at the marina for $18.00 per day. If you take your car in and out of the parking lot, multiple times, the marina charges $1.00 per half hour.
◾️Public transportation on the city busses and trolleys is free and available daily until 8pm. Cabs and UBER/LYFT provide great options as well.
Overview
◾️Operating on Airbnb since June 2016 and VRBO since June 2020, this vessel has over 250+ 5-Star Reviews on Airbnb and is one of the most sought after listings on the water in downtown Charleston, SC.
◾️By confirming your reservation today, you will be afforded a premium downtown location, state-of-the-art facilities and comprehensive amenities complemented by classic Southern hospitality of a skilled professional staff working to ensure that Charleston City Marina maintains its stature as one of the East Coast's premier travel and boating destinations.
Other Things to Note
◾️Bring comfortable shoes and pack light because the vessel is a 5 to 7 minute walk along the beautiful docks from the gated parking lot/private guest shower suites. It's worth the walk - your view is the very best at the marina!
◾️Guests are required to remove their shoes prior to boarding the vessel.
◾️The marina has onsite laundry, bathrooms and (10) private guest shower suites, which are all accessible with the provided key swipe. I request that guests utilize the marinas exceptionally well maintained, climate controlled private guest shower suites in lieu of the shower on board the vessel (Ten Full Sized Showers with Sink,Mirror and outlets). There is of course a toilet, sink (cold and hot running water), mirror and an array of toiletries and freshly laundered premium towels and wash cloths available on board the vessel.
During Your Stay
◾️I will give you verbal and written instructions to make caring for the vessel during your stay as easy as possible. Should the need arise, either myself or my partner will be available 24/7 to assist you during your stay.
