Charleston is a small city unlike any other in the country. Residents enjoy living on cobblestone streets with homes dating back 300 years that have been painstakingly preserved. Horse-drawn carriages clicky clack down the streets with visitors thinking they just saw a pirate run down an alley. The history provides the back drop for an urban lifestyle that offers cultural venues, museums and outstanding restaurants equivalent to most major cities. Housing options are as unique as the city.

There is an endless list of things to enjoy in Charleston. It sounds corny, but you have to do the carriage rides. There are about 8 tours randomly assigned so the neighborhoods don't get too jammed up with horse drawn carriages. You will gain an immediate appreciation of the history of this magical town. The boat ride out to Ft. Sumter is a must. Ft. Sumpter was the site of the first battle of the Civil War. Enjoy breathtaking views of Charleston and the harbor while you relive history. Visit the Gibbs Museum of Art where you come face to face with stories of the South Carolina low country as seen through paintings, sculpture, and photographs at Charleston's signature art museum. To view cultural and national history objects from ancient fossils and an enormous whale skeleton to elegant costumes and Civil War artifacts come to the Charleston Museum. For those who love the theatre, the Dock Street Theatre hosts the Charleston Stage Company's full season of plays, musicals, and theatre. Or how about a candlelight ghost tour through the heart of Charleston's "haunted" history. The list goes on and on.
The city of Charleston is located just south of the mid-point of South Carolina's coastline, at the confluence of the Ashley, Wando and Cooper rivers, which flow together to the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston Harbor lies between downtown Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a 10 minute ride to the beaches at Sullivan's Island or Folly Beach. The airport is about 20 minutes away.
