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 transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - 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 - Smoking not allowed ### 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.ca/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.ca/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.ca/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.ca/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 Home - 5 miles to beach- 5 miles to Downtown Charleston.
