Accessibility Statement
The Sixty Five is committed to making our website and our home welcoming to all guests, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves an effortless Charleston stay.
Our Commitment
We strive to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
Measures We Take
To support accessibility on thesixtyfivechs.com, we have:
- Used semantic HTML to support screen readers and assistive technologies
- Provided meaningful alternative text for photographs and decorative imagery
- Designed for keyboard navigation across all interactive elements
- Maintained sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
- Used responsive layouts that adapt to a range of devices and viewport sizes
- Avoided auto-playing audio or video that cannot be paused or controlled
- Provided clear focus indicators on links, buttons, and form elements
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of the Site may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA in every respect. We are working to identify and remediate these. If you encounter a barrier, please tell us — your feedback helps us prioritize improvements.
The Property Itself
The Sixty Five is a renovated historic Charleston home. Like many properties of its era, it includes architectural features (steps, narrow doorways, historic thresholds) that may limit physical accessibility. Before booking, please contact us to discuss specific accommodations or accessibility questions. We are happy to share detailed information about doorway widths, step counts, bathroom layouts, and any other concerns to help you decide whether the home will work for your stay.
Requesting Accommodations or Reporting Barriers
If you experience any accessibility issues on this website or have questions about the home's accessibility, please contact us. We aim to respond within 2 business days.

Reference: Mention "Accessibility" in your message
When reporting an issue, it helps to include:
- The page or feature where you encountered the barrier
- A description of the issue
- The browser, device, and assistive technology you were using (if known)
Ongoing Effort
Accessibility is a continuous process, not a one-time fix. We review the Site periodically, incorporate user feedback, and update content and code to improve the experience for everyone who visits.
Third-Party Content
The Site links to external services, including Guesty (bookings) and Instagram. We do not control the accessibility of those third-party platforms, but we are happy to assist if you encounter a barrier with our reservations partner.
This statement reflects our current accessibility practices and is updated as our website and home evolve.
