By Wilson Jones, Luxury Simplified Retreats Marketing

There’s no doubt Charleston, SC is a magical place. For those fortunate enough to live here there are endless ways to indulge in the charm of this vibrant, coastal city. People from all around the world want to come here and experience the history, shopping, dining, and beaches that deliver a one-of-a-kind vacation.  It’s no surprise that Charleston is considered so amazing that yesterday it was named “#1 City in the World ” (Travel + Leisure 2016) and holds the continued distinction as the “#1 Destination City in the US ” 5 years in a row (Conde Nast Traveler, 2015) 

Vacationing in downtown historic Charleston means park your car and walk or bike everywhere … just like the locals do! One easy way to “live like a local ” is to stay among them. Renting an apartment in downtown Charleston is a way to make sure your vacation is truly a unique experience. Without a doubt we have magnificent historic hotels and a growing assortment of new luxury boutique hotels, but unless you can splurge on a special suite, these rooms limit your possibilities (and your pocketbook). Renting an apartment tucked alongside the thriving Upper King district opens a whole world of possibilities for the seasoned Charleston traveler and first time visitors alike.  You can walk to some of the hottest new restaurants in Charleston like The Ordinary, or Indaco, or grab a coffee at a courtyard cafe like Kudu.

Our luxurious vacation rental apartments in the French Quarter and  Radcliffeborough are well-appointed, served by our attentive Retreats Concierge staff, and can provide the same services as a hotel plus many more, while giving you the privacy of your own personal apartment/house. A local favorite experience is the Charleston Farmer’s Market in Marion Square, open Saturday mornings from early Spring to late Fall.  Imagine being able to walk there, pick up local fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, breads, and pasta and then going back to your apartment and preparing a wonderful meal in a fully equipped kitchen and enjoying it on your private patio with a glass (or two) of wine? That’s how the locals do it and for good reason! You can even bring friends or family and entertain with a cocktail party – imagine trying to do that in a hotel room? A stay in one of our luxury vacation rentals is like having all of the comforts of home in Charleston with a team of concierges to make sure that every detail of your stay is perfect.
