This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

*If needing early check-in or late check-out please DO NOT ask until the day before check-in at earliest due possible last minute rentals. If you absolutely NEED it, I would suggest renting the night prior*

*Pet Policy: Only Small Pets under 25 pounds (maximum of 2) allowed with prior written approval ($200 non-refundable fee per pet).Must have authorization prior to reservation.*

About the host

Host profile image
The owner is a sailor and traveler who came to Charleston to teach children sailing in the summer and never left. Since then he has crossed the ocean with his family and stayed in many vacation rentals over the world. He purchased this property for long term renting while away on his boat. When he returned to Charleston the market here had opened to short term rentals. This property is in the "short term overlay" designated as a legal area by the city.
