A Beach Stay Close to Charleston

That balance is what makes the island so appealing. Guests can spend the morning on the beach, the afternoon exploring Mount Pleasant or Sullivan’s Island, and the evening enjoying dinner in Charleston.

It’s a coastal stay with room to slow down, without giving up access to the restaurants, shopping, and history that make the Lowcountry memorable.
