Send a gift to a vacation rental in Charleston
Charleston is a city built around arrival. A rental on Cannon Street, a carriage house south of Broad, a guesthouse on Sullivan’s Island — every door opens onto a porch, and every porch has a sound. We place objects that match the cadence of that arrival: small, sweet, slow.
What fits, here
- Aesop Resurrection hand cream by the porch sink
- A Byredo Bibliothèque candle for the carriage-house bedroom
- A small Le Creuset espresso cup with biscuit
- A book by a Charleston writer — Pat Conroy, Padgett Powell, Bret Lott
- A linen tea towel from the catalog, in oyster
An arrival scene
Sunday morning, a friend arriving alone at a peninsula rental for three nights.
- A small dish of benne wafers next to the coffee setup
- A short note in the guestbook, in the gifter’s handwriting
- A thin volume of poems by a Charleston writer on the bedside table
- A walking-map sketch of three slow neighborhood loops
Three days for nothing. The benne is from the bakery on Cannon. The map is the easy version.
Walks
- The Battery, slowly, with the harbor on your left and the wisteria houses on your right.
- Cabbage Row to Catfish Row, then a coffee at the back of the King Street market.
- Across the Ravenel Bridge at sunset — the pedestrian path is long but flat.
