Welcome to Charleston, South Carolina, where Spanish moss drips from the old oaks on the lawns of restored plantations, azaleas bloom in the sun of a lazy afternoon, and a horse clops by pulling a carriage on an old cobble-stoned street. This is a city where the old rests easily alongside the modern, and manners are important.Then this city was made for you!
Charleston is a walkable city, (but take a carriage ride for the shear joy of seeing the old city). Charleston is a delightful experience, especially the taste buds. People come here, soak up the ambiance, visit the historical sites, shop till they drop-- and when they go home what do they talk about? The food!
If you think you might like to give this charming city a try, there's a special timeshare resort you might want to look at. In the very heart of The Old City's famed Market area--within two short blocks of the harbor and Waterfront Park, the theatre and shopping districts, and the city's best restaurants and bistros--are thirty-one handsome town homes.
The Church Street Inn, a landmark downtown hostelry on one of the city's most prominent and scenic streets are all 2-story, which affords maximum privacy since even in the 1-bdrm unit the bedroom is upstairs, and there is a half-bath downstairs to insure privacy for guests. By walking out the door, you can take a carriage ride around town or visit all of the city's fine attractions. Discounted country-club packages are available at nearby clubs, including golf, tennis, and swimming. Across the street is the old City Market, which is full of specialty shops, modern restaurants, and a market for bargain hunters.

WHAT TO DO IN CHARLESTON:

If you like golf with your vacations, go ahead and haul your clubs along. South Carolina has played a key role in the development of golf in the United States from its very beginning. The South Carolina Golf Club, founded in 1786, was the first golf course built and chartered in America. Unlike many other golfing destinations, Charleston has not been discovered by the masses, resulting in more accessible tee times with an unhurried pace. There are at least 16 courses in the area to choose from.
