Newly Renovated, Historic 2bd/2ba Downtown Condo w/ Parking

Spend the summer in downtown Charleston living in the heart of it all at this 28+ day rental!

The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1200 sq ft home, originally built in the 1880s, was recently restored back to its former glory but updated to modern standards. The home boasts 12 foot ceilings, original pine hardwood floors, as well as original windows, transoms and fireplaces. While the subtle imperfections of the home tell a story of centuries past, the home also includes the modern luxuries and comforts our guests have come to expect such as hotel-grade mattresses and linens, high-speed WiFi, all new appliances and high-end bathroom finishes. The Bee's Knees is a sanctuary in the heart of it all - directly across the street from MUSC and St. Luke’s Chapel, 5 blocks from Upper King St. and a 20-30 minute walk to the main sightseeing attractions.

THE SPACE
The bottom floor apartment is accessed through the front of the building with two reserved parking spaces located in the rear of the building. The primary bedroom includes a brand new, luxurious king bed, full-length mirror, smart TV, nightlight and smart device charger, spacious closet with extra pillows, cleaning supplies and space for all of your personal belongings as well as a desk for those needing a private workspace.

Located off the hallway is a full-size washer/dryer closet with provided laundry supplies. Continue down the hall to your primary bathroom, complete with a rain and handheld shower. The main living space includes a dinette with seating for two, a Pottery Barn couch with queen sized pull-out sofa and memory foam mattress. The 55” smart TV includes a variety of free channels through Roku, or you can activate “guest mode” to access your own streaming channels and catch up on your shows.

Whether you’re looking to entertain or cook a gourmet meal, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’d need, including plastic dinnerware for our youngest of guests. The coffee bar includes a variety of k-cups, tea bags, ground coffee from a local Charleston roaster, sugar and creamer. Take a seat at one of our locally-made, custom breakfast bars, with seating for 4.

Last but not least, step foot into our second bedroom with two queen beds, hotel-grade mattresses and linens, an antique 19th century dresser, smart TV and ensuite bathroom. Ideal for families with kids, the shower/tub combo has a hinge glass door for bathing the kiddos as well as a step stool for the little ones who can’t quite reach the sink.

Guests can also enjoy some time al fresco on the shared front porch. Please note, quiet hours are in effect after 10 p.m.


GUEST ACCESS
Two parking spots are provided with your reservation. The parking lot is located in the rear of the building and both spots are marked with our apartment number. For any additional cars or visitors, there is ample street parking, especially on weekends and in the evening hours. Guests can self check-in using the smart lock on the front door. The code will be provided 48 hours prior with additional check-in instructions.

Centrally located downtown in the Cannonborough neighborhood of the city, guests can walk, bike, Uber or rent a Turo to get anywhere they need on or around the peninsula.

OTHER DETAILS

The apartment sleeps 6 adults comfortably, with additional sleeping arrangements for 8 maximum. The unit is child-friendly with booster seat, toys, step stool and kids dinnerware.

For monthly rentals, we require a security deposit and mid-stay cleaning to refresh linens and clean the apartment. Owner pays all utilities (water, electrical, gas, internet).

Our city is growing quickly. With that growth comes construction. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about the resulting noise or the current, cosmetic state of some neighboring buildings. During your stay, this shouldn’t be too bothersome, since the city’s noise ordinance dictates quiet hours between 10pm and 8am.

The apartment is only available for 28+ day rentals as we are completing some additional permitting. Check back in winter 2023 for nightly rental availability!
