The Local Life

Charleston is a history buff’s dream, especially if you happen to be a card-carrying member of your local Civil War re-enactment unit. The first cannons of warm boomed right here at Fort Sumter, and you can take the ferry over to the island and see the ruins of the famous fort. If you’d rather live in the present, then whip up some shrimp and grits for breakfast at your rental to eat like a local. Then it’s time to tour the town. Market Street, the Cooper River Bridge, and the Historic District are all worth a look. Mouth feelings a bit dry? Charleston is insanely proud of its growing craft beer and wine scene. You can also enjoy the city’s famous Southern cooking at any number of beloved local establishments. Of course, if you want real home cooking, then you’re going to have to do it yourself at your vacation rental. Trust us, there’s nothing like enjoying dinner on your balcony as you listen to the crickets whine and breathe in the sweet scent of blooming jasmines.
