🏙️ Noise Notice:
Our home is in a vibrant neighborhood just steps from King Street’s dining and nightlife. While that energy is part of the experience, city noise may be heard. Please be advised that:
⭐️ A local noise ordinance is in effect from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
⭐️ Guests must be respectful of neighbors during these hours.
⭐️ We do not offer refunds for noise-related issues that are to be expected of the location.

Refunds will not be issued for concerns reported after checkout or when resolution efforts are declined.
🏠 We do not control neighboring properties and cannot offer refunds due to dissatisfaction with external factors.
🔌 We do not provide refunds for utility outages or service interruptions that are outside of our control.
❄️ Charleston homes are built for a subtropical climate, and since many are older, severe cold snaps may affect both water temperature and indoor heating.

🚗 Please note that we cannot assume responsibility for vehicles parked outside the designated parking areas.
