NEED MORE SPACE?
We currently have 6 total units. 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. Additionally, a half block down the street, we have another duplex with the Poppy Suite (top floor of grey duplex-3bd/1ba w/two balconies) and the Isla Suite (first floor-4bd/2ba w/porch), both of which share a professionally turfed courtyard. Be sure to check out the individual listings for a full list of amenities.

QUIET HOURS
Please note that this listing is situated on the top floor of a beautifully restored historic duplex. Although extensive renovations have been carried out, it is possible to hear occasional noise from the unit below. 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.

PARKING
You will have one parking space in our private lot. Should your group want additional parking, please contact us to discuss options! We also have one Tesla charger which would need reserved ahead of time.

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.

For the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, we kindly request that dogs are not allowed in the backyard. The yard has been professionally turfed to provide a pristine and pleasant outdoor space. Dog urine can create an unpleasant odor and potentially damage the turf. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping the backyard clean and odor-free for everyone's enjoyment.

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

A home away from home!
The apartment is just as beautiful in person as it appears in the pictures! The hosts were wonderful about communicating check-in, recommendations, and ensuring we were having a good time. Everything you need to cook, do laundry, or even go to the beach is available in the apartment. Itvwas an easy drive to the beach, the Isle of Palms, and downtown Charleston. Very close to the airport too! The only true negative is that it’s a first floor apartment and the upstairs visitors were pretty loud while we were there. If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you, or you may just want to come with earplugs. The hosts supply white noise machines, which is very thoughtful! Definitely check it out!!!

Historical Charleston
The house is quite cute and definitely shows it historic beginnings. If you rent the downstairs unit, please be aware that the upstairs unit is extremely noisy. The first group that was there during our stay awakened us with partying out in the back car park area at 4 AM. The second group that checked in had four young children that ran from one end of the house to the other sounded like a bowling alley. Both groups did not adhere to the owners request to “please remove your shoes” upon entering. Secondly, the dust and grime around the baseboards in the bedrooms, was amazing. The cleaners need to pay more attention. Also, the bed was zip tied to a headboard, which moved whenever you sat or turned in bed. These comments are certainly fixable, and if there was better transparency in the booking, listing one would be able to make choices as to whether they want to inhabit the downstairs unit.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our rental through Charleston Suites. Our unit was very clean, well outfitted (kitchen, bedding, bath linens...) and super comfortable. Often times we find the pictures to be quite misleading but in this case they were right on. Our time in Charleston was lovely! We found some excellent dining options in this transitioning neighborhood. We will definitely consider renting again from this family.

Love your style!
Wow, Brandy & Chad are such awesome hosts! So many thoughtful details for a comfortable stay with a pup. I loved the book they put together of places they recommended eating at and visiting in addition to online resources. They were awesome and SO helpful. I had a great experience with locals at 167 Raw Oyster Bar. Although the sound machines are helpful for the diluting environmental noise I’m a light sleeper so they weren’t totally effective for covering the occasional airplane noise over the home from the nearby airport. Such an awesome experience overall and so appreciative of the personalized communication. Thank you Brandy & Chad! Love your style!

The property was lovely and comfortable. We received many helpful tips from manager on things to see and especially about nearby parks we would have missed. Only issue was it was not as dog friendly as we hoped because near busy streets and garden not for dogs - but I should have researched location more. We will visit again without our pup! Thank you for hospitality.

Perfect Home Base for Exploring Charleston
The Charles Suite was a beautiful spot for me, my husband, and our fur-baby to stay while visiting Charleston for the first time. It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Communication with the owners before, during, and after our stay was excellent. All of the amenities (plus some!) are available - keyless entry, smart tv in the living room with lots of streaming platforms, coffee pot/filters/coffee, toiletries, hair dryer, beach towels, guidebook and more! Both bedrooms have comfortable queen-sized mattresses, ample closet/dresser space, and sound machines. While there is some noise if guests are staying in the unit upstairs, the sound machines certainly help offset any disturbance. The large rain shower completes the tastefully decorated bathroom. Just outside the bathroom is a washer & dryer! There is a dining table for 4 in the kitchen (which we did not use, but would certainly be useful to families with kids) and pots/pans/dishes for anyone who opts to eat-in. The comfortable living room (with tv and Google Play music options) is a nice retreat after a long day. We visited many of the restaurants and sites suggested in the guide book. Some of my favorites included a trip to Magnolia Plantation (we saw alligators!), a boat tour of the Harbor, dinner on Sullivan's Island, and a walk across the Revel Bridge (wear sneakers - it's 2.5 miles long ... one way!). There are lot of local spots to grab food, as well as great shopping a short (maybe 7 min) walk away on King Street. We had no issues getting Ubers and most places (stores/restaurants) are extremely dog friendly. Brandy - thank you for welcoming us and making our stay in Charleston so wonderful! ~Jessica, Bill and Lucy

Perfect for a quick getaway
This home was exactly what was pictured. It had everything and more that we needed. Although located 1.25 miles away from the Historic neighborhood, the neighborhood of the home was super nice. There are cute coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. A Lime Bike charging station is around the corner which made getting to areas near the bay quite convenient. It would be awesome if homeowners has an outside storage/locker for suitcases since they have a strict checkout time. It would help when flights are later in the evening. Highly recommend a stay!
