Modern Cozy 1BR Retreat Near Dilworth and Shops

GrahamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jacques Place was the best! My mom and I needed a place to stay after visiting Charlotte to see her brother. We needed a place that was close to the city center and easily accessible and we found that in this apartment. The home was squeaky clean and nothing out of place. We were only there for the night so didn’t get to use the wonderful kitchen setup or the amenities but it looked like a lovely complex. Easy access from the private parking garage made checking in and out a breeze. Jacques Place was welcoming and clear in their instruction. Thanks for the stay

Modern, Remodeled & Cozy house Silva

SilvetteRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great house and stay! We loved the main floor bedroom for my senior family members. The entire house was really well stocked in terms of kitchen, bathrooms and games. The back yard was private and sooo peaceful. it was great spending time out there. Convenient to downtown and food. A grocery store and fitness gym are all very close. Paula was a great host. She was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. The neighborhood was okay. There were lots of cars in driveways and on the street. There were some late night/early a.m. noise disturbances like music and people in nearby homes. If you are sensitive to light, bring a sleep mask. It does the trick! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

KaterynaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Clean cozy place that has everything travelers need- coffee, tea, pots, fry pans, fridge… the best sleeping king bed with nice clean sheets, plenty of room for big families. Ricardo and Karla were so sweet to let my family with kids to check in later than 10 pm. We were so tired and happy to have a shower and just rest until morning. When host sets list of rules- it means they value their cleanliness as much as guests should. And it’s a great sign! You should look no further ! Pricing is totally fair without cleaning fees! 🙏🏻 I highly recommend this place in Charlotte! Right in the heart of the city, close to everything and very easy to find!!! Thank you!

Octopus Garden North End EV studio

LindaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay at Emily's Octopus Gardens was absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in, we were charmed by the incredibly cute and unique decor. As a plant lover, I was in heaven with all the beautiful greenery – it truly made the space feel alive and welcoming. My husband loved the shower! I Loved the deck. Emily is an exceptional host. Her thoughtful touches, like the Brita water filter, the coffee supplies, and the sweet welcome message on the board, made us feel so at home. We also appreciated the handy little refrigerator for our snacks and drinks. The location is fantastic, a vibrant, up-and-coming neighborhood close to everything. We took Emily's recommendation and had dinner at Alexander Michael's, and it was the perfect local spot! The quaint atmosphere and delicious blackened catfish were a highlight of our trip. We can't recommend this place enough and will definitely be back on our next visit to Charlotte! Thanks Emily, left you a little gift for the collection! TY!

One bedroom condo near Ballantyne, South Charlotte

DeborahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were in Charlotte for the PGA Championship and found a perfect stay at Edward’s condo. It was convenient to South Park, Quail Hallow and many delicious restaurants. The unit was wonderful with many amenities to make the stay feel like home. With a full kitchen and appliances, we were able to enjoy home cooked meals and the washer and dryer allowed us to do laundry during our week long stay. Edward was a great host and we will stay there again if we are in the Charlotte area.

Great place for seeing a show at the Evening Muse with my wife, only about a block away. Right in the heart of NoDa. Several great places to dine and late night activities just a block or two away. Overall Katie's space was very clean, the bed was comfy and the unit was so industrial, maybe a bit? No complaints there! We loved it and only wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again.

Your guide to Charlotte

Welcome to Charlotte

Cosmopolitan Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, with towering Uptown skyscrapers, unique museums, and a plethora of lively neighborhoods steeped in history. The municipality rose to prominence in the early 19th century during Carolina’s gold rush, and later prospered thanks to thriving cotton, textile, and banking industries. If you hear someone call it the Queen City, that’s because Charlotte is named after the wife of King George III.

The weather is suitable for adventuring in nature year-round, and the number of indoor and outdoor attractions is staggering; in the morning you can hike the trails in Little Sugar Creek Greenway or spike your adrenaline at the U.S. National Whitewater Center — the world’s largest manmade whitewater river. Later on you can marvel at the NASCAR Hall of Fame or wander the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Finally, you can finish the day strong by sampling craft beers or catching a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. These are only a few of the many reasons this place regularly makes lists of the best U.S. cities to live in.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Charlotte

The optimal time to visit Charlotte is in the fall or the spring, when the weather is most temperate, crowds aren’t too bad, and parks and gardens tend to look their best. Summer sees a sharp increase in visitors, but it’s also a fantastic time to experience the U.S. National Whitewater Center and then swap adventure tales over al fresco craft brews in one of the city’s numerous beer gardens. Winter does bring colder climes, but the city’s used to it, and businesses remain open throughout the year. Events you may want to plan a visit around include the Taste of Charlotte food festival in early June and Charlotte Pride in mid-August. Motorsports season at the Charlotte Motor Speedway runs from April to November.
