The Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina, South Carolina, U.S. - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"You’d be hard-pressed to find a more elegant and well-equipped place to stay by the water than at the 92-room Beach Club , which opened in October 2016. Sat directly across the harbor from downtown Charleston on Patriots Point in historic Mt. Pleasant, the resort is just a free, fifteen-minute trolley shuttle and seasonal water taxi ride from this Southern foodie haven. The Charleston Harbor Marina, adjacent to the USS Yorktown museum along the Cooper River, is the largest in the state, with 24-hour high-speed fuel service, showers, and laundry, and it can accommodate more than 450 boats with 17,000 linear feet of floating dock space for ships of all shapes. Families, staying in cleverly-designed 750-square-foot Parlor Rooms with a spacious balcony and extra twin-bedded room, can enroll kids aged 5 to 12 in the summertime Mini Mariners Children’s Program , with themed activities including lessons on how to tie knots, use a compass, forecast weather, or explore the history of the area’s wicked pirates. Parents, meanwhile, can retreat to a private cabana beside the resort’s 30,000-square-foot pool area or succumb to a Seaweed Body Wrap in the Estuary Spa. Modern Southern meals are served in the Fish House, occupying the same building as the creatively-curated Marina Store, selling everything from scented soaps, to short tomes on local history." - David Jefferys
