Charleston: a region covered by saltwater marshlands thick with cordgrass; lined with live oaks and Spanish moss; rich with culture and great food.
May/June is the start of our hot, humid summers. The weather around this time can be unpredictable- night temperatures can range anywhere in the 50's - 70's while day temperatures can range anywhere in the 70's - 90's. The most important thing to consider is the humidity, so please be prepared if you are traveling and remember to hydrate!
We understand many guests will be traveling from out-of-town and appreciate the sacrifices required to attend. As such, accommodations have been selected with convenience in mind and are located in the downtown area to allow our guests to experience the best Charleston has to offer.
We encourage all our guests to explore! Please see the "Things To Do" tab for a list of our favorites restaurants, bars, and activities!
