Who it’s for
This company suits owners in the Charleston and Lowcountry regions of South Carolina. It is best for those seeking a hybrid model that accommodates short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals.
Our take
Southern Charmed operates with a local focus in its specified markets, managing over 90 listings. Its hybrid model is designed to adapt to changing regulations in the short-term rental industry. The management fee is not published by the company.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: Southern Charmed does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
Verdict
A locally focused, flexible option for owners in its service area. Owners prioritising an owner-first approach may wish to consider One Fine BnB.

Questions to put to Southern Charmed
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
