The vacation rental is managed locally by Southern Charmed Hospitality Group, ensuring that assistance is readily available should any issues or concerns arise during your stay. Moreover, for added convenience, the property owner resides next door and is accessible if you require anything further. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities!

Imagine the convenience of having Folly Beach, entertainment, gourmet restaurants, award winning hospitals, the West Ashley Greenway, Avondale , and low-country history just a few minutes away from your front door. Wespanee Place is an established neighborhood . Residents here enjoy its mature trees, draping oaks, and fragrant flowers.

West Ashley is a large, mainly residential area known for the cluster of global fusion restaurants, laid-back eateries, and lively bars around the busy intersection of Magnolia Road and Savannah Highway in the Avondale neighborhood. A mix of major malls, plus boutiques and spas, is another draw. The West Ashley Greenway trail attracts walkers and mountain bikers.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

Your safety and comfort are our priority. In the unlikely event of a MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR CHARLESTON COUNTY during your stay, rest assured that both the Owner/Host and the Property Management Company WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR PAYMENTS for the dates of evacuation. Once refunded, neither party will have further liability regarding your Reservation.

Please note that ONLY MANDATORY EVACUATIONS WILL QUALIFY FOR REFUNDS. No other travel disruptions due to weather, whether in South Carolina or other states, are eligible. For protection, consider travel insurance, especially in high-risk months like hurricane season. Airbnb's insurance or other options are recommended.

INSECTS

As Charleston is situated in a warm, coastal climate it is possible to see insects inside or outside of the home at times. These include palmetto bugs, sand gnats, mosquitoes, ants, etc. Those who reside in the Lowcountry just accept this as part of living here but it may be unsettling for those from other areas. The home is treated regularly for pest control but this will not entirely eliminate insects from getting inside at times. Please do your best to not keep doors and windows open and not leave food or drinks out in the home as this will attract insects. FINDING AN INSECT IS NOT CAUSE FOR A REFUND.

We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist with any inquiries. We look forward to your visit.

This spot suited our itinerary in Charleston very well. It was close enough to the airport to make an early morning flight more bearable but the drive to historic Charleston was easy and short. About 15 min from airport, 15 min from downtown and 15 min from The Magnolia plantation. The small touches in the house made it especially homey and welcoming. We loved our stay!

My husband and I stayed here for five nights -- everything about the place was excellent. Great location. Sparkling clean. Plush towels (and lots of them). Wonderful little touches throughout. Good communication with the property manager. Usually I shy away from properties that are professionally managed (I prefer the personal touch of an owner/manager), but this place was perfect. Thanks!

This was the cutest place so much better than any hotel. It was so close to everything we rented a car so there was a parking spot for it. They have gone to so much work to make it the most enjoyable, relaxing stay. I can’t thank them enough.
