Our clean, cozy 3 bedroom, 1 bath home is in North Charleston. Drive 10 minutes to Downtown Charleston, and 8 minutes to popular spots like Park Circle, Holy City Brewery and the Coliseum. For beaches, Folly Beach and Isle of Palms are about 25 minutes away. Each of the three bedrooms has a queen size bed, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, dishwasher, oven and microwave. We provide linens and towels, and the home is professionally cleaned. The WiFi is great, and there is a washer and dryer. You can bring up to 4 cars and park in the driveway. There is no room for RVs, buses, trailers, etc. The neighborhood is diverse, urban and working class, it is not fancy. Please read our "important items to note" below before booking! Important items to note: \*\*Our home is in North Charleston in the neighborhood of Dorchester Terrace, which is urban, diverse and working class. While the neighborhood is changing, and there are other shot term rentals in the area because it is located so close to Downtown Charleston and Park Circle, it is not fancy, nor is it considered a "good" or "tourist" area. Many homes are being renovated, but there are still homes that are run down and/or not well kept. This is why our price is so much lower than what a similar house in a better area would cost. Please don't book if you are expecting a high-end area and are going to complain about the neighborhood! \*\*Our home is along a busy road. While that brings the convenience of being able to easily reach Downtown Charleston, which is about 10 minutes away, you may be able to hear the traffic from inside the home. Lots of people live alongside the road, but if you're sensitive to noise our home may not be the best fit for you. \*\*Our home has 1000 square feet and is single-level. There are two small stair cases outside, one in the front and one in the side, that you need to climb to enter our home. Each stair case has about 5 steps. It is an older home that retains its early 20th century uniqueness, including original hardwood floors. They do creak and are uneven in spots, that is just how old floors are. Bring up to 4 cars and enjoy hassle-free parking in the driveway. There is no room for RVs, buses, trailers, etc. \*\*There is a TV into which you can plug your own device via the HDMI port, for example a Firestick or Roku. It is not a Smart TV and it does not have regular TV, cable, streaming devices, etc. City of North Charleston Short-Term Rental Permit 2025-0497 ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114870000/114869900/114869896/52a8a582.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2-bedroom Tiny House with big personality in N Charleston, SC Waylyn - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=114869896&PinnedHotelID=114869896&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93240000/93233400/93233395/6e9d528b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harmony -Newly Renovated 2 bedroom apartment North Charleston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=93233395&PinnedHotelID=93233395&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89030000/89022900/89022836/d839cdee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Charleston Home North Charleston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.2 Very good 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=89022836&PinnedHotelID=89022836&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57550000/57546900/57546818/w1502h1074x7y0-402c3d13.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 3 bedroom cottage. minutes from everything NORTH CHARLESTON - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 53 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=57546818&PinnedHotelID=57546818&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83680000/83672500/83672450/c6c68964.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 3 bedroom Home - 2 miles to beach!

Very close to restaurants and short drive to downtown, beaches were a little farther out. With Charleston a place we come often it was a perfect spot for my family. Would definitely recommend if needing a place to stay when not needing to be close to the beach. ##### Heather H.

There was one day we cooked dinner and the rest of the night our inside temperature was over 80 degrees. Our room didn't have any vents or a fan so that was a bad night.- The area isn't great, but again we had no problems, it was just an eyesore.- Bathroom was quite outdated but very functional.- One of the beds was broken/not level. ##### Gannon J.

The noise level from the road was described in the description. However, the neighbors were very loud and disruptive. Were two women staying in that home it felt very unsafe at times. ##### Meg J.
