If you’ve been perusing Charlotte’s Airbnb listings recently, you may have seen a new offer for a sensual, sexy play den in Third Ward.

Yes, it’s real and it’s surprisingly super swanky (we’re talking custom furniture flown in from Italy swanky). Open since March, Scarlet’s Loft is described as “the ultimate luxury play den in Charlotte, NC.”

This two-bedroom condo has everything you need to make you and your partner’s stay a little more interesting.

They provide a “horse” (Google the use yourself), almost every chair has hooks to attach constraints (they provide rope) and there’s sensual red lighting in every room. You can even request add-ons like chocolate covered strawberries, roses, champagne, sensual toys, a car service or a private chef.


I talked to the owners (two women, by the way) and they told me that they wanted Charlotte to have a high-end place where couples could get adventurous and step out of the norm.

So far, most of their guests have been locals, but they also host photographers, people shooting music videos and a lot of NBA and NFL players.

Besides the sexy stuff, this Uptown condo has a full kitchen, two full baths, a balcony and even Netflix for when you just want to put your comfies on and watch reruns of The Office.

You can only rent Scarlet’s Loft by the week, but apparently a lot of their higher-end clientele love the loft so much that they are willing to pay the weekly rate even if they can only stay for the weekend.

Weekly Rate: $1,299

Monthly Rate: $4,500

(Important: If you have a low credit card limit, be warned: Due to the interactive nature of this rental, a refundable damage deposit of $500 is due at booking.)

Even though this is an adult play den, there are rules.

No smoking, no parties, no drugs, and keep loud music down after 9pm. Also, pets are allowed but you have to ask for permission. Oh, and you must be over 21 because, well, you know.

Interested? You can book your stay in Scarlet’s Loft on Airbnb, VRBO or through their website.
