Our approach

Care for the place.
Consider the person.

A few nights away, a season somewhere new, or a home for years. The Second Story brings different kinds of places together through one standard of care.

We start with the property and the people using it: what works here, what they need to know, and what will make daily life a little easier.

Different places. Different needs.

The right use for each place.

01

Furnished stays

A few nights. A longer chapter.

A visit with family, time between homes, or a temporary work assignment. Our furnished stays make room for shorter visits as well as longer stays, with everyday essentials already in place.

The Retreat in downtown McCormick is available to book on Airbnb for shorter or longer stays. You can also inquire directly. Dates, minimum stays, and terms vary by property.

02

Annual residences

Room to make it your own.

A home for the routines, belongings, and plans that make up everyday life. Our annual residences retain their own identities, with clear lease expectations and ongoing attention to the property.

Homes in McCormick, Tampa, and Charleston are part of our annual lease program. Contact us about future availability.

03

Commercial spaces

A setting for local business.

The Gable Building is also home to commercial spaces. Caring for a mixed-use building means considering the people who live upstairs, the businesses below, and the neighbors around it.

Commercial availability and lease terms are discussed individually. The same care applies to communication, maintenance, and the way each space works.

What care looks like

In the details that matter.

Each property has its own personality. Our responsibility is to make it useful, well cared for, and honestly represented.

Tell the whole story.

Show the actual space. Explain sleeping arrangements, stairs, shared amenities, and other practical details so people can decide whether it fits.

Prepare for everyday life.

For a furnished stay, that means a kitchen you can use and somewhere comfortable to settle in. For a residence or business, it means a sound, functional space and attention that continues beyond move-in.

Stay connected to the place.

Local knowledge, care for the building, and respect for neighbors are part of the work. A property belongs to a community as well as a portfolio.

Finding your fit

A clear next step.

Explore the property first. For The Retreat, check dates and current rates on Airbnb, or send us an inquiry. For annual or commercial spaces, contact us about availability and lease terms.

Before you commit, the dates, price, fees, and requirements should be clear. Airbnb reservations follow the terms shown there; direct leases have their own application and agreement process.
